SEOUL, Aug. 22 (Korea Bizwire) – SK Telecom has launched a new service “T Persona Premium” in partnership with the world’s leader in mobile software management area, Red Bend Software. T Persona Premium, an upgrade version of the T Persona Standard launched in October last year, allows customers to use their mobile phone in two distinct modes, business and personal, with two separate phone numbers.

Many mobile phone users today rely on their devices for business purposes. But they are increasingly concerned about privacy and the possibility of security breaches. The T Persona Standard service addressed this problem by providing a separate space and strengthened security for business use. T Persona Premium unveiled recently adds security by using two independent operating systems to separate personal and business data while being assigned with two mobile phone numbers.

Lee Myung-geun, head of the corporate business division of SK Telecom, said, “Corporate security is essential, but employee satisfaction is also important. That’s why the introduction of BYOD [bring your own device] is not easy in satisfying the two requirements at the same time. SK Telecom provides a solution that satisfies corporations’ security requirements and employees’ privacy concerns through the partnership with Red Bend.”

Seo Jang-won, country manager of Red Bend Software’s Korea office, said, “Red Bend Software provided a mobile work environment that respects personal privacy in partnership with SK Telecom. T Persona Premium will become the first service that satisfies users’ urges to use mobile security features more conveniently and safely in the complex mobile environment.”
