Mobile Messenger and Rave Mobile Safety Announce Expanded Partnership
Mobile Messenger, the leading mobile solutions provider, and Rave Mobile Safety, the premier provider of safety
applications for mobile
users, announced an expanded partnership for delivering emergency
notification messages. The companies' enhanced, real-time message
platform provides higher education, government and enterprise
organizations with quick, reliable and secure SMS messages for
emergency situations.
Through
the expanded partnership, organizations can use the Mobile
Messenger/Rave platform to create tailored SMS campaigns that reach
more mobile users across multiple mobile networks. The platform has
already helped geographically-dispersed organizations like universities
share emergency alerts with their communities more immediately and
efficiently. For example, according to Christopher Akin, director IT at
USF, "During a recent incident on our campus we were able to alert
50,000 registered users in less than one minute. In fact, the emergency
SMS arrived on my phone before my hand left the mouse."
"Speed
and reliability are absolutely essential during emergency situations,
especially when it comes to communicating danger to others," said
Michael Iaccarino, president and CEO of Mobile Messenger. "We are proud
of our partnership with Rave Mobile Safety and the fact that we can use
our proven mobile technology platform to improve the real-life
protection of mobile users."
"Perfection
is paramount with emergency SMS messaging, so having a partner that
understands our requirements and delivers on our needs is extremely
important," said Tom Axbey, CEO of Rave Mobile Safety. "We have always
been impressed with Mobile Messenger's speed and technology and we are
confident that Mobile Messenger will continue to help us improve our
service to the hundreds of organizations and millions of individuals
nationwide that rely on our mass notification solution for the timely
delivery of critical information."
An
experienced global mobile solutions provider, Mobile Messenger offers
full-service premium solutions, premium aggregation and standard
messaging. The company recently acquired VeriSign's m-Qube business to
obtain direct connections to every US and Canadian carrier. As Mobile
Messenger continues to grow, the company will strengthen its standard
messaging platform to enhance services such as those it delivers with
Rave Mobile Safety.
Rave
Mobile Safety designs applications that turn mobile phones into
powerful safety devices. The company's software is credited with
keeping more than 1.5 million individuals safe at more than 200
organizations nationwide. Universities, businesses and government
organizations rely on Rave to rapidly notify their communities during
crisis situations and help them respond faster to emergencies.
