Malaysia.Kuala Lumpur, February 21, 2012 - (PressReleasePoint) -Greenpacket, a leading developer of next generation mobile broadband and networking solutions, announced today leading up to the Mobile World Congress conference next week that Telefonica has completed a successful trial of its Intouch Connectivity Experience client for Mobile IP which will enable Telefonica’s users to enjoy their favorite soccer matches, broadcast news and lifestyle content via their Mobile TV IP service across multiple networks and devices seamlessly. The trial successfully demonstrated stable connectivity when switching between 3G-WiFi networks, and supports both Android and Windows operating systems.

We are helping to optimize operator control and enhance the mobile TV experience for these users as they move between different locations, networks, and devices.”

Our MIP enabled Intouch Connectivity Experience client will seamlessly connect, extend services and switch Telefonica’s users to the most preferred or optimized networks automatically.”
