RocketConnect Goes Mobile as RocketStream Partners With Sunbay

RocketStream, Inc., a subsidiary of Voyant International
Corporation (OTCBB: VOYT) and a developer of technologies and
solutions to accelerate digital content delivery over IP networks,
today announced a technology and sales partnership with Sunbay
A.G., a Swiss provider of high-value mobility software solutions
for telecommunications operators. Under the agreement, the two
companies will bring RocketStream's RocketConnect broadband access
acceleration platform to mobile users. The mobile version of
RocketConnect is expected to provide both cost savings to mobile
network operators (MNOs) and bandwidth improvements to users of
mobile devices such as Internet-capable cell phones, PDAs or
laptops using cellular data connections.
Mobile data networks suffer severe bandwidth bottlenecks between
a user's mobile device and the MNO's base station equipment. These
bottlenecks are believed by many to be the last barrier to mass
adoption of wireless as the primary connectivity method of choice
for consumers. According to a new study by market research firm
Informa Telecoms and Media, mobile data revenues are predicted to
jump from $148 billion in 2007 to $347 billion by 2013, so removing
barriers to consumer adoption is clearly a priority.
RocketStream and Sunbay have now reached an agreement to jointly
create and market the mobile version of RocketConnect. RocketStream
intends to market this software primarily in the U.S. and Canada,
with other regions currently under consideration. Under the
agreement, Sunbay and RocketStream engineers will collaborate in
the integration of Sunbay's technologies with RocketConnect. The
product is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter
of 2009.
RocketStream's RocketConnect software solution addresses
bandwidth bottlenecks in the so-called "last mile" of the access
link, primarily for landline connections. RocketConnect increases
the speed of these connections by up to 500%. This is complemented
by Sunbay's software solutions, which are focused on providing
comparable bandwidth enhancements to mobile devices, as well as on
seamless switching between various connectivity modes.
Consequently, the mobile version of RocketConnect is intended to
offer significant value to both MNOs and their subscribers by
providing:
-- MNO cost savings through software-based bandwidth improvements that
lead to infrastructure savings
-- Enhanced customer satisfaction through seamless switching between
connectivity modes (e.g., automatically switching from Wi-Fi to GSM to
Ethernet)
-- Customer convenience through session persistence (e.g., maintaining
session duration without repeatedly entering passwords or providing VPN
authentication)
-- Security of wireless data through encryption
"This partnership with RocketStream is a great way to combine
the strengths of Sunbay and RocketStream to bring a truly
compelling mobile solution to the North American market," said Juan
M. Arimany, Sunbay's managing director of business development. "We
expect RocketConnect to maximize the utility of existing wireless
infrastructure, as well as complementing the rollout of 3G and 4G
wireless technologies."
"The mobile edition of RocketConnect is designed to provide
telcos and other MNOs with a combination of cost savings and
service improvements to attract additional subscribers, increasing
recurring revenues for the MNOs and for us," said Jay Elliot,
president of RocketStream and general manager of software products
and services at Voyant. "Consistent with Voyant's business model,
RocketStream is always looking to combine our in-house technology
with that of first-class partners like Sunbay to bring compelling
new digital content solutions to the marketplace. This partnership
with Sunbay moves us into the mobile data solutions market, where
traffic is more than doubling every year and which is rapidly
becoming one of the most important strategic components of the
broadband access toolkit."
