Smith Micro Software, a provider of mobility services for the mobile broadband market, has entered into an agreement to provide its mobile connection management software to Bouygues Telecom, a provider of telecom products and services in France.
Smith Micro Software said that its connection manager will power Bouygues Telecom’s complete line of modem devices designed for PCs and Netbooks.
Through the agreement, Smith Micro has customised its QuickLink Mobile technology for mobile connection management to support 3G GSM and Wi-Fi networks, and to enable ease of access for Bouygues subscribers using a variety of mobile devices and data cards. The technology allows the software to navigate through various wireless networks and select a network based on the user’s preference.
Smith Micro has developed two versions of this connection manager, one to support Bouygues Telecom’s consumer customers and a second application with security features to meet the demands of enterprise customers.
The company claims that the service relies on its connection management technology to ensure customer satisfaction, reduce customer support costs, and provide software installation and setup by automatically configuring the mobile device to access different types of wireless networks.
William Smith, Jr, president and CEO of Smith Micro Software, said: “We play a pivotal role in providing seamless connectivity management for broadband network access across multiple technologies and a wide range of mobile devices. Our technology can help Bouygues Telecom manage its Wi-Fi and 3G network connections – a key factor in their selection of a software solution.”
