Sagem Wireless moves to become software supplier

MobiWire, formerly Sagem Wireless, today announced  its open Android OS user interface software, Surface, as part of a strategic move to focus on user experience and connected services integrated into branded consumer electronics (CE) devices and professional industrial applications.  MobiWire combines user interface software connected to cloud-based content with its award winning device design to take global and luxury brands mobile. From design to delivery, MobiWire connects brands’ customers to services through customized connected CE devices.

Building on the company’s 15-year heritage of mobile operator relationships and handset development, MobiWire delivers brand-customized wireless devices based on advanced open and standard compliant technology.  MobiWire enables its customers and partners to deliver connected CE devices that quickly and economically allow them to engage with their consumers in a new way.
