Qualcomm acquires UK software company for $57 million

Via the EE Times.

Wireless technology company Qualcomm Inc. has acquired Elata, a mobile content delivery software supplier based in the United Kingdom, for $57 million.

Qualcomm (San Diego) expects to combine Elata’s wireless content delivery system, with its BREW solution to give operators access to an extensive and modular offering of wireless data solutions and services. The unified delivery system will enable operators with existing wireless data solutions to improve and expand upon management, delivery and marketing of wireless content, while maintaining backwards compatibility with their current devices through open standards interfaces.

According to the companies, the unified delivery system is platform-agnostic, allowing operators to consolidate all of their content services with support for all device platforms. A broad array of content can be unified and managed, including ringtones, wallpapers, and Brew, Java, streaming and OMA-compliant content-- for the full range of feature phones and smartphones on operators' WCDMA networks.
