InfoGin Introduces Content Overlay V3.0 Enabling Mobile Operators to Stay a Smart Pipe

BARCELONA, Spain, February 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- InfoGin (http://www.infogin.com), a global market leader of mobile browsing solutions that enable carriers and publishers to provide the ultimate browsing experiences on any mobile device, today announced Content Overlay V3.0 - an advanced, mobile operator and publisher-oriented mobile browsing solution. Part of InfoGin's Smart Pipe Package, Content Overlay V3.0 is a clientless, non-intrusive browsing interface that allows mobile operators to weave in toolbars and content from their portals during their subscribers' browsing session, while offering a smart, efficient and rewarding user experience on any advanced device like iPhone(R), Android(R)-powered smartphones tablets, netbooks and laptops. InfoGin's Content Overlay V3.0 extends monetization capabilities to carriers, while also delivering the ultimate mobile browsing experience to users.

"We are happy to be able to offer mobile operators and publishers - our long-time partners - an innovative solution to their "Smart Pipe" challenges," says Eran Wyler, CEO and Founder of InfoGin. "Our new and very much improved Content Overlay V3.0 offers them additional revenue streams from premium services and advertising, enhances their subscribers' stickiness while they browse and offers an unprecedented reduction in traffic load," added Wyler.

At a time when heavy-traffic-generating devices allow browsing in an off-portal environment, InfoGin's Smart Pipe Package offers mobile carriers and publishers a constant presence with their subscribers. On mobile phones, Content Overlay V3.0 is displayed to users with a swipe of a finger in the form of a toolbar on a transparent layer or as a floating toolbar at the bottom of netbooks and laptops screens. Content Overlay V3.0 delivers monetization opportunities and additional benefits to carriers and users, including:

    - User access to portal content from any off-portal site
    - Marketing campaigns and advertising
    - Operator-controlled content Alerts and notifications - communicate with
    the user while surfing by interfacing the operator's alerts engine
    - Multiple monetization options - operator storefront, application
    download, operator's search results
    - Latency reduction and traffic optimization (based on optimization
    package purchase)
    - Clientless solution
