Gemini Mobile Technologies: At a Glance
Founded in 2001 and headquartered in San Mateo, California, Gemini Mobile Technologies is revolutionizing mobile communications. Our software infrastructure solutions give carriers, content providers and consumers a highly scalable and reliable way to reach, entice, entertain and delight mobile customers. This translates directly into lower operating costs and expanded revenue opportunities. From wireless voicemail to email, from chatting to interactive games, from shopping to entertainment, 3D community applications, and more, our solutions deliver messaging and multimedia content instantaneously to millions of wireless devices worldwide. This accelerates time to market, reduces customer churn, boosts revenue and profitability, and increases return on infrastructure investment. It also gives people — anybody, anywhere who relies on a wireless device — more reason to use the mobile Internet.

Market Opportunity
Today, more than half of the world's 6.5 billion people are wireless users, a staggering 3.5 billion people and growing, compared with one billion PC users. With roughly one billion wireless handsets shipped every year, people rely on their mobile devices for talking, and increasingly as their medium of choice for news, information, socializing, shopping and more. In fact, as the mobile interface navigation becomes more graphical and intuitive, the demand for mobile data services will skyrocket. That is because people are increasingly relying on their mobile devices — not the PC or the telephone — as their primary means of getting access to a personalized world of networking and communications.
Technology
Both our platform solutions leverage Gemini's HyperScale® technology. This powerful, modular architecture was designed from the ground up to provide mobile carriers, content providers and aggregators with solutions that set new standards for flexibility and scalability. HyperScale is the foundation of our HyperScale Messaging Center and our new community platform, eXplo®.
