Etisalat unveils its ePlus interactive, converged portal at GITEX

Etisalat has unveiled ePlus, a next-generation technology portal, offering a comprehensive range of applications that will allow subscribers to make high quality video and voice calls, leveraging VoIP technology in addition to utilising social networking applications and e-commerce.

Etisalat’s ePlus supports the most popular social and instant messaging platforms and synchronises mobile contacts with online friends to consolidate all contacts into one single screen, called Radar View.

Linked to the Etisalat Content Portal and apps store, ePlus provides users with the latest music, games and apps available for download. Within the same interface, customers can manage bill payments and check data usage.

The ePlus application provides consumers with full mobility through its PC and mobile synchronisation, allowing customers to make and receive calls across a range of mobile and fixed line devices with a simultaneous connection to all or any single device. The service leverages a Near Field Communication (NFC) platform and is m-commerce enabled. It currently works across the 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi networks and supports the Android 2.2 platform. It will also encompass other operating systems in future.
