A leading European airline, Lufthansa has announced the launch of MemberScout, the air travel industry’s first real-time location-based social networking solution for frequent flyers. The application which is available as an iPhone and is soon also going to be a Blackberry application, enables its users to instantly swap, share or exchange knowledge and ideas.
MemberScout was developed by mobile apps developer match2blue, using the Apama Business Event Processing (BEP) platform from Progress Software Corporation. It provides instant information exchange through which participants offer their subordinates, help and advice by asking questions and providing information related to destinations and travel.
According to the Head of Social Media of Lufthans, Dr Torsten Wingenter, it is a company’s effort to help the business community that flies with them to gain benefits of being in that community, wherever and whenever they need to.
The company’s vision is to help frequent flyers connect with each other to benefit from peer group advice.

TELES has announced the successful installation and launch of its Mobile Centrex solution at T-Mobile Austria. The TELES Mobile Centrex solution enables T-Mobile Austria to offer SME customers a complete solution that fulfills both their land line and wireless telephony requirements at a competitive price. Using the service enables the SME’s manager to better control their expenses by both turning CAPEX to OPEX and matching the OPEX with the actual corporate size.
“Using the TELES Mobile Centrex solution we can address the large SME market with a complete, new and unique service that enables our customers to benefit from economic efficiency while, simultaneously, improving the quality of their telephony solution,” said Bela Virag, Executive Vice President of Business Marketing at T-Mobile Austria. “At the same time, we can increase our penetration and generate new revenues with business customers.”
Leveraging the TELES Mobile Centrex solution enables mobile service providers to offer the complete replacement of an in-house PBX with a centrally hosted and managed solution including a software based attendant console for use with standard GSM phones as well as auto attendant service, ad-hoc conference service, voice mail and user presence functionality.
“The successful launch of the T-Mobile service is an important milestone in our strategy to supply worldwide wireless service providers with advanced telephony solutions that enable them to address the SME market with new, attractive services,” said Eyal Ullert, CO of Sales and Marketing at TELES.
Using the system’s browser-based Customer Self-care interface, the user can independently manage and configure their service, relieving the mobile service provider of basic, repetitive and costly maintenance.
TELES will be presenting its Mobile Centrex solution at the Barcelona GSM Mobile World Congress.
