CellTrust Corporation Commences Operations with CellTrust Australia, Pty Ltd. to Provide Secure SMS and Mobile Marketing to Australia and New Zealand

U.S.-based CellTrust, the Secure SMS Messaging Leader, Establishes a Franchisee as Distribution Network on the Australian Continent

Scottsdale, Ariz. and Sydney, Australia – June 3, 2009 – CellTrust Corporation, a U.S.-based provider of leading-edge secure mobile messaging and applications(www.celltrust.com) announced its expansion into Australia and New Zealand with the establishment of CellTrust Australia. The franchisee will operate from its headquarters in Sydney, Australia led by Managing Director Nick Goritsas, marketing veteran and entrepreneur who founded the successful Ontarget Group of companies, which specialise in Data Mining, Direct Mail Marketing and Product Fulfilment.

CellTrust Australia’s customer base will benefit from CellTrust’s award winning SecureSMS Gateway, enabling businesses to exchange critical information with customers using mobile devices in a trusted environment. SecureSMS has additional advantages over standard SMS, such as delivery, read, and receipt confirmation. CellTrust SecureSMS provides end-to-end privacy on the mobile device via a highly encrypted, tamper-proof process. The sender can see the icons actually change on their phone as messages are sent, received and opened by the recipient. The solution also increases the SMS size limit from 160 characters to 5000. A remote wipe functionality that ensures users can wipe the handset if it is lost or stolen adds another critical layer of security. Additional features that will soon be available on CellTrust SecureSMS will include 2D barcodes, client-less Secure SMS, as well as a dynamic menu system for mobile banking and mobile payments.

“The introduction of 3G mobile technology to the Australian market is driving economic growth and helping to transform businesses and services to communities previously underserved due to the limitations of broadband” said Nick Goritsas, Managing Director, CellTrust Australia. “With the proliferation of mobile data and the exchange of sensitive information across education, healthcare, government and financial sectors, CellTrust’s secure mobile applications and global gateway are well-positioned to meet market demands.”

CellTrust Australia has been in discussion with numerous enterprises, marketing agencies and governmental organizations in the region. Well-suited for the financial services/banking, healthcare, education and governmental sectors, prospective Secure SMS users will now be able to optimize the ubiquitous nature of SMS in a secure, reliable and highly confidential environment.

“The Australia/New Zealand corridor will play a key role in our global expansion,” said CellTrust CEO Sean Moshir. “CellTrust looks forward to meeting the mobile security demands of this diverse and very dynamic area of the global mobile market.”

Mobile Information Management platform, giving businesses and government the ability to:

  • Set aside concern that carriers, tower operators, infrastructure providers and aggregators can intercept and read their confidential messages
  • Meet security and compliance requirements without costly development or proprietary server infrastructure investment
  • Strengthen customer relationships through a trusted exchange
