Posted on: 15/05/2008

GyPSii a leading geo-location and mobile social networking service provider headquartered in Amsterdam, has announced the opening of a China Data Centre, to offer localised content and an enhanced user experience to customers across China and the Asia Pacific region. The Shanghai-based centre will boost GyPSii's existing infrastructure in the area and provide users with specific local content and even faster download speeds.

The opening of the centre follows the recent announcements of GyPSii's partnerships with Shanghai Rannuo Information Technology Co. Ltd. (GyPSii's service provider partner) to launch the China Unicom Beijing Olympics service and Dopod Club. With the Olympics set to begin in Beijing later this year, the data centre will accommodate GyPSii's existing users, while supporting new customers and the surge in the games-related user-generated content (UGC) expected in advance of and during the Olympics.

GyPSii's new site www.gypsii.com.cn offers new localized capabilities for Asian partners and consumers - including special China-specific user generated content, mapping and points of interest. - All this will be available to customers using GyPSii's mobile and web clients.

GyPSii is also made available to members of the Dopod Club, the exclusive online community for Dopod device users in China. With GyPSii, Dopod users can experience a seamless mobile lifestyle experience, sharing content, connecting with friends and communities, searching UGC and viewing maps and directions to points of interest - all from their mobile phone.

Dopod users with Windows Mobile devices and China Unicom users with a range of supporting devices can download GyPSii, with both simplified
and traditional character sets at: www.gypsii.com.cn.
