Interop Technologies to Offer AdaptiveMobile Parental and Enterprise Controls(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Interop Technologies, a provider of advanced wireless technology solutions, and AdaptiveMobile, a supplier of unified customer protection for individuals and enterprises, have signed an agreement enabling Interop to distribute AdaptiveMobile software to wireless operators around the world. Under the agreement with AdaptiveMobile, Interop Technologies will help operators protect underage subscribers against mobile Internet content that their parents consider inappropriate. Parental controls can be configured for family members based on an individual's age, interests and hobbies, and religious and cultural preferences, as well as time of day (such as during school hours), and other criteria. Enterprise controls will help business customers extend corporate security policies to mobile devices, which may encourage distribution of company-paid handsets and data cards to employees. The AdaptiveMobile software is being deployed as a hosted solution that works with the Interop Technologies WAP Gateway or any third-party WAP gateway. The content filtering solution does not affect voice calling including callbacks from 911 operators to wireless users. "The AdaptiveMobile solution is an important part of our ongoing commitment to help operators generate revenue from content that customers demand," said John Dwyer, CEO of Interop Technologies. "At the same time, we will help protect customers and assure operators' reputations by safeguarding network infrastructure and services." "We are delighted to work with Interop Technologies to offer a fully integrated and configurable content filtering solution for businesses and consumers," said Lorcan Burke, CEO of AdaptiveMobile. "By providing flexible protection, Interop and AdaptiveMobile are ensuring that wireless customers gain the benefits of the mobile Internet without being exposed to the risks." During the CTIA WIRELESS I.T. & Entertainment tradeshow Oct. 23-25, Interop Technologies exhibited at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
