MyMobileCoverage Launches New Mobile App That Allows Consumers to Be Change ...

SAN DIEGO, Dec 13, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Do you ever get dropped calls on your smartphone in the middle of a good story, or on a business call? Do you ever have sluggish data speeds or poor voice quality? Have you wondered why your wireless provider doesn't just fix that poor coverage spot? MyMobileCoverage, a CORTxT company, knows that it is because wireless providers have no idea that they are even there. MyMobileCoverage now delivers personalized mobile intelligence providing coverage visibility to the consumer and their wireless provider with a free smartphone app for Android and BlackBerry technologies.

Once consumers download the app to a supported smartphone device, MyMobileCoverage immediately begins delivering precise, real-time visualization and analytics of their coverage experience. Dropped calls, failed calls, voice quality, data speed performance and signal strength are all captured via intelligent logic that interacts with the device GPS for mapping. The data is then displayed to the user through an intuitive graphical user interface and mapping protocol in both 2D and 3D on the device and through a secure online web portal.

Users can:

-- Create personal coverage maps

-- Measure the network performance of their wireless provider for voice and data

-- View live status of signal strength

-- Report performance metrics to their wireless provider to help them improve it.

That's right... consumers can now inform their wireless provider how to improve their network performance one smartphone at a time.

"Until now consumers have accepted mobile coverage deficiencies as the norm," says Michael Johnson, CEO of CORTxT, the app developer. "Interruptions in service and poor mobile performance for a variety of reasons have been pervasive across all providers because after all, wireless signals and data transmission can be effected by many factors. The reality is that wireless providers do not have the visibility into network performance from the end user perspective, so they have no ability to diagnose problems and make the proper technical adjustments. The MyMobileCoverage technology provides visibility to both the consumer and provider, who can now visualize how their network is performing in real time."

Precision of data, simplicity of use and the ability to serve both the consumer and the wireless provider to improve networks and customer experience is what makes MyMobileCoverage unique in the space. MyMobileCoverage has a separate enterprise interface module and works directly with wireless providers to deliver network performance measurement and optimization tools using the consumer device application. Traditional network testing methods such as drive-testing equipment, probes, and surveys are not as accurate or dynamic as MyMobileCoverage for testing network strengths and deficiencies. By sharing coverage data with their wireless providers, consumer can effectively improve their mobile experience by providing measurements and diagnostics to their provider during each poor coverage event. The consumer now becomes a 'virtual network engineer' for their provider.

MyMobileCoverage is working globally with several international and domestic providers to deliver a new way of measuring and optimizing their network while bringing them closer to their customer.

MyMobileCoverage takes consumer privacy very seriously and collects only mobile coverage information from the user. MyMobileCoverage is an opt-in application with the option for users to opt-out of sharing coverage information with their wireless provider. All information is secured and never shared with third parties other than wireless providers. The application does not record keystrokes, message content, contact lists or other personal information.

The MyMobileCoverage smartphone app supports Android OS 2.1+ and BlackBerry OS 4.5+ devices.

Sampling of supported Android devices: Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy Infuse 4G, LG P500h, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, HuaweiU8820, Motorola i1, Motorola Defy MB525

Sampling of supported BlackBerry devices: 9000, 9300, 9700, 9900, 9800
