MALMO, Sweden, Feb. 23, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Teleca announced today that it has expanded its Series 60 collaboration agreement with Nokia. Teleca will be one of the first Series 60 Boutiques in the Series 60 Product Creation Community and will extend its offerings from reference implementations to complete smart phone designs.
Teleca is already one of the worlds leading independent integrators of the Series 60 platform. Through this new agreement Teleca expects to expand its smart phone business further.
"We are delighted to expand our Series 60 collaboration with Nokia. The Series 60 platform is generating a lot of interest among many of the major phone manufacturers. By becoming a Series 60 Boutique we will be able to take on more and larger assignments with the Series 60 licensees." said John Cooper, Director, Smart Phones Business Segment at Teleca.
"We are pleased to extend our collaboration with Teleca. Since establishing the Series 60 collaboration a year ago, Teleca has participated in various Series 60 implementation projects with developing full understanding of the platform and is already able to offer complete design capability on top of Series 60 reference implementation," said Jukka Riivari, Director, Terminal Platform Sales, Nokia.
Nokia launched the Series 60 Product Creation Community a year ago at 3GSM World Congress in Cannes including three types of memberships: Series 60 Competence Centers, Contractors, and Wireless Technology Providers. Now Nokia has expanded the community by introducing a new Series 60 Boutique member category consisting of independent software vendors that are able to provide the Series 60 licensees with complete smart phone designs.
The Series 60 platform encompasses all of the software, user interface (UI) and applications necessary to create a smart phone. For more information, please visit www.series60.com.
