Options Media Group and Wireless Zone to Bring Smartphone Antivirus Software to the Marketplace
Options Media Group Holdings, Inc. (OPMG 0.02, +0.01, +50.00%) , a growing force in mobile applications, marketing and mobile social media, today announced the industry leading PhoneGuard Mobile Security suite will now be carried by Wireless Zone stores, Verizon Wireless's largest independent reseller organization in America offering the latest cellphones, accessories and service in more than 400 store locations. The retailer has begun distributing the PhoneGuard product in its larger stores and will soon be offering it throughout its entire operation over the next few weeks.
"As the largest cell phone franchise in the United States, we here at Wireless Zone are continually looking for opportunities to provide more value to both our customers and our franchisees," commented Kevin Downs, Marketing Director for Wireless Zone. "The PhoneGuard suite of applications does just that. Both the Virus Protection and the upcoming anti-texting applications fill a need and will allow us to provide an even better experience for our customers," continued Downs.
"This is a significant development for Options Media Group and we are excited about bringing this state of the art antivirus application technology to Wirelsss Zone cell and smartphone customers," said Scott Frohman, CEO of Options Media Group. "Viruses on mobile devices are becoming an increasingly dangerous problem as cyber-hackers become more sophisticated and as more vital information is transported via smartphones. We believe this is a major revenue opportunity for Options Media Group," commented Frohman.
Options Media Group acquired the PhoneGuard license during the second quarter of 2010, marking the Company's entrance into the large and lucrative U.S. and Canadian mobile and smart phone applications market for Mobile Security and "Safe Driving" software. The PhoneGuard Mobile Security product is powered by technology provided by NetQin Tech Co., under an exclusive license in the U.S. and Canada. NetQin is the incontestable worldwide leader in mobile security, including mobile antivirus, anti-harassment and privacy protection, with approximately 51 million subscribers at present in more than 200 countries and regions representing seven languages.
Since Options Media Group announced the acquisition of the license to the PhoneGuard software, the Company has received encouraging interest from independent wireless stores as well as qualified nationwide retail chains. Furthermore, many prospective customers are currently in the due diligence phase and/or are testing PhoneGuard products in key U.S. markets.
