Wavehop Network allows Mobile Users Instantaneous
Online Interaction with Corporate Applications, Databases and Email Systems March 15,
2004 Markham, Ontario - Ceecom Inc. of Markham, Ontario, Canada today announced the introduction of the Wavehop Wireless Network. The Wavehop Network will enable an organization’s mobile sales executives, service and delivery personnel to have instant access to corporate databases, applications and email systems from virtually any location using low-cost PDA technology. Wavehop is for people on the move who need to communicate, transact and stay in touch. Busy executives, account managers and sales personnel and field service technicians can all benefit from using Wavehop. Nowadays, an ever-growing number of companies are leveraging mobile and wireless technologies, not only to improve productivity and be more responsive, but also to reinvent their business models and fuel their sales automation and CRM strategies. With Wavehop, organizations can rapidly deploy a range of business applications allowing their mobile workforce to stay in touch using low-cost wireless PDA devices. Using the Wavehop Network mobile users can now have true, online interaction with corporate databases and email systems. Authorized field personnel will now be able access important information such as a customers account status, sales orders or product or part availability while at a customer’s office, loading dock, parking lot -- and even while in transit. Wavehop is a wireless enterprise application network solution that enables PDA (Palm OS, Pocket PC 2002, LINUX, Symbian) devices to interact in real time with the Corporate Host Server over the wireless and Internet networks. Wavehop has a suite of pre-packaged applications that can be tailored and implemented in weeks. Enterprise applications are provided for SFA/CRM (enter orders, browse catalogs, track shipments, customer service), Insurance, Health Care, Police & Law Enforcement and Field Service. Wavehop servers have the capability to interact to email servers like Microsoft Exchange to receive and send e-mails from the PDA. The standard Wavehop solution offers PDA users all the benefits of thin-client computing. Applications are driven on the powerful computing power of the server’s engine, rather than the limited processing power of a hand-held computing device. With Wavehop,
PDAs interact with the corporate databases in real time and no data
resides on the PDA, eliminating the need for synchronization of
data or loss of data. Images and documents can be downloaded to
the PDA. Secure transactions are provided with strong 128-bit encryption
as well as fast transaction responses with Wavehop’s compression
and acceleration technologies. The Wavehop Network utilizes GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) technologies. GPRS, which is based on the widely deployed GSM platform, is clearly becoming one of the world’s wireless digital network standard, and it’s well suited for B2B transactions. The GPRS network has the bandwidth, providing access speeds similar to an ISDN line, and then moving to higher bandwidths when the G3 networks arrive. Bell Mobility recently launched its CDMA-based 1X wireless network in the Greater Toronto area with plans to introduce 1X service across the majority of its national coverage area. Last July, AT&T Wireless announced they had completed the installation of their GSM/GPRS wireless network in 25 of the largest markets across Canada. And this past November Canadian wireless provider Microcell Solutions Inc., better known as Fido, announced the official launch of its new Canadian GPRS network. West coast based Telus Mobility is planning the launch of a new wireless network based on the CDMA2000 1XRTT standard within the next few weeks. Over 30 carriers in more than 25 countries have announced implementation schedules for GPRS and 87 countries have pledged to adopt the standard.
