COSMOTE, the No.1 Greek Operator, Selects BEEP SCIENCE for OMA DRM

 

3GSM World Congress, Barcelona, Spain, February 14, 2007 – COSMOTE MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS, the leading mobile phone operator in Greece, today announced it has chosen BEEP SCIENCE as its Digital Rights Management (DRM) provider. The Beep Science DRM Server is integrated with COSMOTE’s service delivery platform.

 

The integrated solution supports all OMA DRM compliant mobile phones, providing dynamic “on-the-fly” content packaging and digital rights license generation and delivery. This allows COSMOTE to develop new business models with rich media content, such as music and video.

 

Beep Science is an independent software vendor providing client and server side DRM software solutions based on open industry standard from Open Mobile Alliance (OMA). Beep Science DRM Server integrates with COSMOTE’s service delivery platform through an open SOAP interface, thereby providing COSMOTE with robust, integrated and feature-rich DRM capabilities.

 

The cooperation with COSMOTE, premier mobile player in Greece and SE Europe, also marks an important step for Beep Science as the market is now seeing a rapid expansion of planned services supporting OMA DRM. “Beep Science is pleased to work with innovative and dynamic customers, such as COSMOTE, as we share a common goal - to be the leader in the chosen field” says Mr. Jan Rune Hetle, CEO, Beep Science AS.
