Using RIM Inter@ctive Pager
SOMERSET, NJ (May 25) BUSINESS WIRE -May 25, 1999--
A Comprehensive Communications System that
Keeps Mobile Workers Connected
Dynamic Mobile Data Systems, Inc. (DMD) today unveiled MobileDispatch,
a two-way wireless dispatch solution that affordably enables time
sensitive communications and status tracking for companies dependant on
the mobile efficiency of their workers. Utilizing the power of the
BellSouth Intelligent Wireless Network(SM), and the flexibility of the
Inter@ctive(TM) Pager 950 from Research In Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM, TSE:
RIM), MobileDispatch delivers an elegant, end-to-end solution for the
field service, insurance, direct store delivery, transportation and
pickup/delivery markets.
The MobileDispatch service is an end-to-end solution that provides
customers with access to a server and call center along with
customizable software. Combined with the RIM Inter@ctive Pager 950,
this service offers a sophisticated messaging system that enables
dispatch and fleet personnel to synchronize information real-time.
Voice and hand written errors are eliminated, and driver questions and
problems can be addressed immediately, increasing the productivity of
both dispatchers and drivers. Because of the flexibility of
MobileDispatch, existing back office applications can be incorporated
into the solution, providing even more functionality.
"As successful partners, BellSouth Wireless Data and DMD have pushed
the envelope in wireless for the trucking industry," stated John
Darienzo, President and CEO of Dynamic Mobile Data Systems, Inc. "The
addition of the RIM Inter@ctive Pager 950 to our MobileDispatch
solution will make real-time dispatch affordable to trucking companies
nationwide."
The RIM Inter@ctive Pager is the industry's most powerful mobile
communications tool. Powered by an Intel386(TM) processor, it is an
easy-to-use, wearable device that fits in the palm of a hand. The RIM
pager features a full QWERTY keyboard and a unique thumb-wheel that
functions similarly to a PC mouse and allows users to navigate through
messages and menus with simple roll-and-click motions. RIM's Software
Developer's Kit makes it possible for the call center and field
software screens to appear the same, further enhancing the accuracy of
information between in-house and remote workers.
"The trend toward increasing the efficiency of mobile workers will
continue to drive the market for two-way wireless dispatch solutions,"
said Don McMurtry, Vice President, Sales, Research In Motion. "Dynamic
Mobile Data Systems' wireless dispatch solution will allow dispatch and
fleet personnel to improve their operations and customer service
response time, significantly impacting the bottom line."
