IRVING, Texas-Cingular Wireless’ recently announced multimedia messaging service is based on Nokia Corp.’s MMS center, the companies announced.
Nokia has managed to claim the lion’s share of the MMS center market after it and other major infrastructure providers largely missed out on the market for text messaging infrastructure.
“Cingular is a frontrunner in mobile networks in the U.S., and Nokia is pleased to continue our strong cooperation in bringing multimedia messaging services to Cingular’s customers,” said Scott Willis, vice president of Nokia Networks. “More than 160 carriers globally have commercially deployed MMS, and it is set to become the mass-market mobile data service that appeals to all consumers.”
