20th 3G UMTS Deal

Netonomy announced that its customer self-service application, MyNetonomy, will be incorporated into Lucent Technologies' third-generation (3G) high-speed data portfolio for mobile operators. Lucent will optimize Netonomy's application to work with its 3G mobile network solutions, enabling Lucent's mobility customers to help enterprises more easily deploy 3G data services.

MyNetonomy provides a wide range of self-provisioning and online enterprise account management capabilities that give business administrators and employees a simple, user friendly means of activating and managing their corporate and individual 3G data accounts and services. This can help mobile operators reduce operational expenses associated with calls to a customer service center and improve customer service by giving enterprises and their end-users greater control over their accounts.

"We believe that enterprises will be the early adopters of 3G high-speed data services offered by mobile operators, and our best-of-breed self-service provisioning and enterprise account management application will make it easier for companies to deploy these services," commented John Hughes, cofounder and executive vice president of Netonomy. "Lucent has taken an innovative approach by providing an end-to-end solution to mobile operators that enables them to address the demand among enterprises for 3G mobile high-speed data services and we are excited to be a key part of their visionary strategy."

MyNetonomy will be incorporated into Lucent's 3G mobile high-speed data portfolio of end-to-end, pre-integrated solutions that enable business customers to access essential applications stored behind corporate firewalls via CDMA2000(TM) and UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) 3G wireless networks, as well as corporate wireless local area networks and public "hot spots."

"The research we've conducted with enterprises worldwide has revealed that a fast, intuitive activation process is a major requirement for the uptake of 3G high-speed data services among enterprise mobile professionals, and Netonomy's product helps 3G mobile operators deliver this functionality," said Jeff Cortley, director of offer management for Lucent's Mobility Solutions Group.
