The server is a platform for the mobilisation of business apps and software across any mobile operating system, as well as for secure wireless mail.

GLOBO's Chief Executive Officer Costis Papadimitrakopoulos, said: "Our strategy for the commercialisation of GO!Enterprise Server is to target both MNOs [mobile network operators] and IT [information technology] distributors and we believe there is a major opportunity from offering GO!Enterprise Server to both existing and potential MNO customers.

"GO!Enterprise Server is being offered under its own brand rather than following the white-label strategy of CitronGO! As a result, growing recognition of the GO!Enterprise Server brand is adding value to GLOBO as well as supporting our sales and marketing activities."

The share price fell 1.82% to 20.25p by 10:28.
