Mobixell develops porn filtering solution

Aiming to help operators to comply with proposed web content regulation.

The 'Seamless Access Mobile Internet Gateway' solution marries Mobixell's data tech with Commtouch's GlobalView URL Filtering system, and has been developed as national governments threaten to bring content filtering into law.

Now that so much web browsing is going mobile, any such legislation would require operators to block undesirable content and make certain types of content available only if users opt-in to receive it.

But the real problem is that the web is in constant flux and the rise of social media, user generated content and blogs makes it impossible to simply designate a finite number of sites as inaccessible.

The Mobixell/Commtouch solution solves this problem by continuously monitoring and analysing traffic to provide real-time.

“As the use of mobile devices to access the Web increases, it is essential that mobile operators provide increased protection for their users from potentially harmful Web sites,” said Noam Green, vice president marketing at Mobixell.
