SEVEN Networks, Inc. announced that it worked closely with Microsoft to develop the Outlook.com email Android client that launched on Google Play. The announcement marks the second Microsoft-authorized Android app developed by SEVEN. The new Outlook.com app has been designed with the same principles as the web experience. It supports Android 4.1 and 4.2 (Jelly Bean) devices and will deliver push-enabled access to the inbox, contact list, folders and calendars.

SEVEN Networks announced that Public Mobile has selected its Open Channel(R) Signaling Optimization software to manage app signaling and traffic on its wireless network.

SEVEN Networks, Inc. announced new policy enforcement, network mobility and Wi-Fi offload software products that expand its Open Channel(R) signaling optimization software into a complete platform for managing mobile app traffic. The new Open Channel software products include: Open Channel Policy Enforcement -- Enforces policies to manage mobile traffic and enable service plan creation; Open Channel Seamless Mobility -- Delivers seamless mobility when devices move between carrier networks and Wi-Fi; and Open Channel Wi-Fi QoE -- Optimizes Wi-Fi offloading decisions to improve end-user experience. These Open Channel software products are designed to help carriers take back control of app data traffic while improving the customer experience for subscribers. They join Open Channel Signaling Optimization in the product portfolio. In trials with tier-one carriers worldwide, Open Channel Signaling Optimization has consistently and significantly reduced Android device signaling by transparently detecting redundant traffic patterns and caching unnecessary app network requests. Open Channel Signaling Optimization includes device and server software that monitors all requests for data made by the mobile apps and reduces signaling by connecting to the network only if new updates are available. The Open Channel platform forms the foundation for sophisticated mobile analytics offering deep insight into network traffic patterns, and for delivering actionable intelligence to help carriers optimize finite network resources. With the new software products, operators can now use Open Channel to enforce app policies on a per-user or global basis. The software can also modify connection behavior of all apps on a phone, or can selectively enforce bandwidth-saving policies based on whether the phone is on a 3G, 4G or Wi-Fi network.
