Siemens chooses Mobileway for interactive gaming on the new Siemens C45/2118. Mobile handset manufacturer Siemens Information and Communication Mobile (ICM) has chosen to work with Mobileway, the leading provider of global wireless access and content distribution, to facilitate the rollout of global interactive gaming for use on its latest mobile phone, the C45/2118. By overcoming the inter-operator compatibility and connectivity issues, Mobileway creates a single global market for these services and a global community of Siemens C45/2118 users. Mobileway and Siemens have worked together since December 2000.  The main project under development is Battlemail Kung Fu game, making use of Mobileway's unique network of 2-way SMS connections and revenue sharing agreements with mobile operators around the world.  The Siemens C45/2118 is the first example of this fully animated multiplayer game working in a multiplatform environment.  The interactive game can be initiated by sending a short message; then the game can be played from the mobile handset or a computer via the Internet. Georges Boulloy, Senior Vice President, Product Operation, Siemens Information and Communication Mobile Group, said: "Mobileway has proved that it not only has the global connectivity which is fundamental to our business but great business understanding and technical expertise.  Mobileway's connectivity will enable users of the new Siemens C45/2118 to play interactive games irrespective of location." The outcome of the game is fully animated, giving users a rich and interactive gameplay experience. "We are delighted to announce this partnership with Siemens, which launches a new generation of handsets," said Patrice Peyret, CEO of Mobileway, Inc. "We are absolutely convinced that the mobile version of gaming on Siemens handsets will be one of the killer applications of the year and are proud to support this success!"
