Lucent Technologies has acquired the Israeli provider of content management software for wireless service providers, Mobilitec, for an undisclosed cash amount. The acquisition strengthens Lucent’s next-generation platforms that support voice, video, data and multimedia applications, enabling more services for mobile and broadband users.

Lucent intends to integrate the Mobilitec solution, which enhances Lucent’s IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and Mobility (3G) portfolios, with Lucent’s application products to enable intelligent, personalized context-aware content delivery and targeted advertising.

According to Pyramid Research, the global market for mobile content services is expected to reach $73 billion by 2010. This market estimate includes services and applications such as ring tones, games, information, music, video and graphics but excludes messaging and remote access.

The Mobilitec mPower product provides a single platform that supports all content and media types, such as firewall and security software, ringtones, games, music and videos, enabling operators to maximize content revenues while increasing operational efficiencies. Mobilitec has already sold its platform to 20 customers with a base of more than 300 million subscribers.

Mobilitec is a privately held company headquartered in California. The Company, which will become part of Lucent’s applications business, has 70 employees worldwide, including research and development operations in Israel
