Tata Indicom taps Novarra to launch full mobile internet

12 December 2007

Mumbai: Tata Indicom has joined hands with leading mobile web gateway platform and service provider Novarra to launch its Vision platform. The full mobile internet service is available on popular mass-market handsets such as the Motorola RAZR and the Samsung Explore.

Tata Indicom customers can use these handsets to access any website of their choice.

Novarra's Vision server allows surfing of complex websites faster and in a user-friendly manner over Tata Indicom's state-of-the-art CDMA 1X mobile network. Novarra's Vision uses the micro-client version 5.0 for BREW on these handsets to help Tata Indicom customers gain additional speed and an easy, intuitive mobile web experience.

The service is offered at prices ranging from Rs10 per day to Rs99 per month, with unlimited data usage. Tata Teleservices, one of India's fastest-growing telecom service providers, is now actively extending the service to many of its 20 million customers, with a larger base of enabled handsets.

The service includes Novarra's Mobile Dashboard, which enables consumers to get instant 'one-click' access to popular websites, as well as e-mail and search functions.

"We are pleased that Tata Indicom recognises that the internet is a critical daily-use application, for all ages and walks of life. Removing the handicap of requiring a computer and a cable is a key step forward for consumers and the mobile industry," Bruce Simpson, Novarra's chief operating officer, said.
