SAN CARLOS, California – October 8, 2013 - SEVEN® Networks, a provider of innovative software products for mobile traffic management and optimization, has been named by AlwaysOn for inclusion in its annual list of OnMobile Companies to Watch.
Selection for the OnMobile Companies to Watch list signifies leadership amongst peers, as well as recognition for game-changing solutions that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. SEVEN Networks was specially chosen by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts from around the globe, following a rigorous three-month selection process based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.
SEVEN Networks has developed the Open Channel® software line that delivers intelligent on-device mobile data traffic management and optimization – increasing control for carriers and improving the end-user experience. Carriers also gain deep insight into the behavior of devices and apps in relation to their networks. Extending traffic management to the mobile client device conserves network resources, decreases bandwidth utilization, improves device battery life, and reduces costs for operators. The Open Channel platform includes products for signaling optimization, policy enforcement, and Wi-Fi offload management.
“This OnMobile Companies to Watch listing, combined with our recent Mobile Merit Award win, shows that SEVEN Networks technology addresses an important need within the wireless industry,” said Ross Bott, President and CEO of SEVEN Networks. “We will continue to apply our mobile domain expertise and innovative skills to help carriers reduce costs and better serve subscribers.”
“The new digital age is being developed and deployed in a mobile, connected world,” says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “This year’s OnMobile Companies to Watch are continuing to disrupt the established technology norms, creating an exciting new market for applications and infrastructure solutions. We congratulate the 2013 OnMobile Companies to Watch — companies that our editors believe represent some of the highest-growth opportunities in today’s private company marketplace.”
SEVEN Networks, along with other companies selected for 2013, will be honored at AlwaysOn’s OnMobile event on October 10, 2013, at the Fox Theatre in Redwood City, CA. This popular event gathers Silicon Valley’s brightest minds for a lively exchange on the top trends and most lucrative opportunities in mobile.
Open Channel software products are available now from SEVEN Networks.
