The convergence of media, entertainment, and telecommunications, along with increased performance, and improved display capabilities in mobile devices, has created new revenue and business opportunities for service providers.

As voice-based services continue to be become a commodity, erosion in ARPU has forced service providers to focus more heavily on data services - such as Ringtones, games, applications, information, enterprise data, and mobile commerce – to enhance ARPU, reduce churn, and differentiate services.

While the opportunities exist and the right business drivers are there, the ability to capitalize on mobile data has been hampered largely to due two factors:

(1) the complexity in managing all the elements of delivering mobile data services, including devices, infrastructure, content, and applications.

(2) a confusing and frustrating subscriber handset experience when trying to access mobile data content.

mPortal delivers both software and services catered to specifically address these issues.

mPortal’s software products consist of:

SPRINGBOARD™ Content Delivery Manager a comprehensive solution for delivering and managing content.
