Vodafone to Offer Encrypted SMS
Broca, the provider of secure advanced messaging technology, announces that Vodafone UK Ltd, has signed an agreement to resell Broca’s Secure Advanced Message Service (“SAMS”).
Broca’s flagship service, SAMS, is a unique and patented technology that encrypts and enhances traditional SMS messages, allowing sensitive data and content, such as card payment details, to be sent securely via the mobile network. Positioned as a new communications protocol, this enabling technology is set to open up significant opportunities for the global mobile industry.
Under the terms of the agreement, Vodafone UK will include SAMS in the messaging portfolio sold by its ‘Target’ sales division. As a value added messaging product SAMS will be offered for secure messaging and data capture for corporate customers.
The initial focus will be to drive the use of SAMS by Vodafone UK’s business customers and Broca will receive payments based on the number of messages sent.
This is the fifth such agreement announced by Broca as it continues to build its partner community. Broca is pursuing a channel approach in order to achieve scale as rapidly as possible in a non-capital intensive way. Partnering with network operators such as Vodafone UK is an important component of the Company’s growth strategy.
Commenting on the agreement, Ian Price, Managing Director of Broca said:
“We are delighted to have secured Vodafone UK as a partner. This is a major achievement and an excellent addition to our community of partners. The agreement with Vodafone UK provides a significant endorsement for our SAMS product and will allow us to gain further momentum and generate traction with customers going forward. He added: “Securing this agreement is particularly pleasing as Vodafone UK was one of the first companies in the industry to recognise the potential of SAMS.”
