SEATTLE, Wash. Oct. 2, 2009 -- ASI Entertainment, Inc. has been advised that ASiQ
Ltd, the licensee
for the aviation SafeCell system (patent pending), has
announced that it has successfully tested the new MMS capability of the
SafeCell system on the latest Thuraya network and the existing Inmarsat
network.
The announcement stated, “Having recently launched a low cost cell phone
solution for Bizjets using the Iridium satellites, ASiQ is now
concentrating its efforts on the upcoming airline program. As part of
the airline system, passengers will not only be able to send inexpensive
SMS, IM and text email from their mobiles, but also photos. SafeCell MMS
is a proprietary system that can deliver an in-flight MMS service from
as little as 50 cents globally.”
Ron Chapman ASiQ’s CEO stated, “The only way to provide cost effective
mobile phone communications is to stay outside the global mobile roaming
system, thereby avoiding roaming charges, which are standard with the
existing in-flight mobile phone solutions. Also, by focusing on data
only we are able to substantially reduce the cost and weight of the
hardware to less than 10% of competitive systems, making it affordable
for all airlines. The first certifiable hardware is scheduled for
delivery later this year.”
About ASI and SafeCell
ASI owns the intellectual property of SafeCell. SafeCell is a new
generation patent-pending software application that converts a normal
mobile phone into a wireless communicator. SafeCell was developed to
substantially reduce the cost of SMS, MMS, Chat, and Email for the
regional and international airline traveler. SafeCell connects via
Bluetooth, so it operates with any modern mobile phone, including the
new generation mobile phones that already have wireless interface.
SafeCell delivers its services via the internet and is designed for
operation in-flight and on the ground.
SafeCell is uniquely positioned competitively and is currently being
marketed to the airline industry via licensing and agency agreements.
ASI’s business model is based on receiving license fees and royalties
from the SafeCell technology.
