TOKYO, Japan (September 1, 2016) – Digital Arts Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan; CEO Toshio Dogu; “Digital Arts”; Code 2326), a provider of information security software and solutions, announced the release of i-FILTER for Multi-Device on mineo, an MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) service provided by K-Opticom Corporation (headquartered in Osaka, Japan; CEO Takao Fujino; “K-Opticom”). i-FILTER for Multi-Device will be available on mineo beginning September 1, 2016.

K-Opticom’s MVNO service, mineo, is a multi-carrier service, which means that customers can continue to use their domoco or au cell phone devices, select from docomo or au cell phone plans, and easily switch plans upon request. K-Opticom also offers attractive data plans to effectively use up monthly data amount, such as Packet Share (share data with family), Packet Gift (share data with relatives and friends), and Free Tank (share data between users).

K-Opticom chose to adopt Digital Arts i-FILTER for Multi-Device as a way to provide a safe cyber environment for underage children, and will be available as an “Anshin Filtering” option for mineo users. Reasons for integrating i-FILTER for Multi-Device includes flexible settings on filtering strengths to match user preferences, apps filtering feature for AndroidTM devices, and a strong endorsement by the Parents and Teachers Association of Japan. This option is available for 350 yen a month (excluding sales tax) and can be subscribed at the time of signing up for mineo, or by going to “mineo mypage”- “optional services” for current mineo users.

Digital Arts strives to respond quickly to changes in environments surrounding connected devices, promote the importance of web filtering, and expand opportunities to offer this software for underage users to enjoy smartphones and other connected devices under a safe and secure environment.
