JP Mobile delivers always-on functionality to smartphones

HYDERABAD: JP Mobile Inc., a software development company that extends

enterprise information to handhelds and parent company JP Mobile India, has

announced the delivery of always-on functionality to GSM (Global System for

Mobile) and CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access) smartphones. The company’s

SureWave technology automatically notifies phone subscribers when information

changes at the corporate server by "waking up" the handhelds and

instantly sending the new data to them.






Whether it is an e-mail or calendar update sent to a desktop computer, JP Mobile’s
technology automatically delivers that data to the phone removing the need to

manually request data synchronization in order to retrieve the new information.

The always-on functionality, which previously was only available on RIM/BlackBerry

devices, now includes Handspring’s Treo and Visor, and the Kyocera Smartphone

series, using SureWave Mail from JP Mobile.






"Our track record in developing workarounds for existing technology
limitations continues to be an important element in addressing market

demands," said Ananth Rao, executive vice president of JP Mobile.

"Even the 802.11b industry protocol doesn’t allow data to be pushed to

handhelds, yet phone subscribers still need real-time data delivered to them.

With SureWave Mail, businesses can now more effectively leverage the convergence

of voice and data by expanding their phone’s data functionality from offline

to wireless," he added.
