Orange Dominicana Commercially Launches Kodaic Visual Voice SMS™ (VSMS)
SAN RAMON, CA, USA—June 14, 2007—Kodiak Networks, a leading mobile solutions innovator, and Orange Dominicana (Orange), a national telecommunications operator, today announced that Orange has commercially deployed Kodiak Visual Voice SMS™ across the Dominican Republic (DR). This is the first commercial deployment of the Kodiak Networks Visual Voice SMS (VSMS) technology worldwide. Orange is now offering VSMS service to its customers throughout the DR.
Using the Kodiak Visual Voice SMS application, Orange customers can send one-to-one voice messages from their existing mobile phone to any mobile in the DR by dialing Star (**) plus the mobile number. Voice message delivery is faster and easier than text messaging.
VSMS recipients can receive SMS alerts and retrieve messages while in the DR or roaming abroad. Messages may be up to 20 seconds in length and are billed on a per-message basis.
“Kodiak Networks has partnered with Orange Dominicana to bring the innovative VSMS service to the Caribbean wireless market,” said F. Craig Farrill, president and CEO of Kodiak Networks. “The power of the Kodiak Visual Voice SMS application is in its simplicity, speed, and use of the spoken word. Hearing a person say a message carries all of the emotional content a simple SMS cannot deliver. Our research has clearly shown that customers place a higher value on VSMS over basic SMS text messaging.”
