Nokia and France Telecom sign an integration and hosting contract

Nokia and France Telecom have signed a contract that will see Nokia integrate a customized remote content service and related platforms into the operator’s network. Nokia will also host the commercial service, thus enabling France Telecom to roll out the solution more quickly and efficiently. The service, developed with France Telecom according to its broad market and customer understanding, will enable France Telecom’s Orange mobile customers to remotely access their personal photos, videos and music stored on their PC at home, as well as to watch, view and listen to them from anywhere on their Orange mobile device. The service marks the first convergent application implemented by Nokia to France Telecom.

“Mon PC à distance” users simply need to download client software from Orange’s web site to their PCs at home. No specific client is needed on their mobile devices. Indeed, any mobile device having standard browsing and multimedia capabilities is compatible with “my remote PC” service, although the advanced browsing, image and sound capabilities of the Nokia Nseries will leverage this new exciting “place & time shift” experience even further.

“People nowadays have a lot of personal content stored in their home PC’s, such as videos, photos, music and office documents. Our new HomeZone service enables people to access this content anytime and anywhere,” says Laurence Thouveny, Vice President HomeZone, France Telecom NExT Marketing. “Nokia is a trusted provider of systems integration and hosting services, able to support us for the launch of new and innovative services.”
