This combination will allow knowledge workers to become as productive out of the office as they are at their desks. This powerful and integrated solution provides real-time, wireless access to Microsoft Exchange E-mail, corporate intranets, the Internet and Web applications from the iPAQ Windows Powered Pocket PC. Unveiled at Microsoft's official Pocket PC launch, the solution combines the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC with the award-winning Sierra Wireless Aircard 300 and Infowave's industry leading wireless enterprise software. Pocket PCs are the next generation of handheld devices and offer pocket versions of vital business applications including Microsoft Outlook, Internet Explorer, Word and Excel. The Gartner Group estimates that one-third of the U.S. workforce is now mobile and that by 2003, more than 137 million business users worldwide will be involved in some form of remote work. "Compaq is thrilled to work with both Infowave and Sierra Wireless to develop a wireless solution for the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC," said Ted Clark, vice-president of iAppliances, Compaq Computer Corporation. "This wireless solution includes everything you need to access your corporate information and messages from virtually anywhere. It's fast, secure, and keeps you constantly connected to your dynamic information. The iPAQ Pocket PC wireless solution is the ultimate device for the mobile worker." "This innovative wireless bundle provides a fully integrated business solution for seamless mobile access to Microsoft Exchange, the Internet and Web-based applications," says Rogers Weed, director of the mobile devices division of Microsoft Corp. "The Pocket PC is the only platform that offers this integrated functionality and the wireless option makes this an essential tool for every mobile professional. This type of solution once again highlights the important role that independent software vendors play in Microsoft's vision for wireless." "Infowave, Sierra Wireless and Compaq have demonstrated their market leadership by providing a fast, integrated and secure solution that connects mobile staff to the corporation and the Internet, anytime, anywhere," said Bijan Sanii, chief operating officer of Infowave. "To compete in today's aggressive business environment, you need the same access to information and business tools when you're away from the office as you do in the office. Wireless used to be a nice-to-have, but with this type of device and today's business climate, it's become a must-have." The iPAQ Pocket PC wireless bundle will be available through Compaq resellers, distributors, and on their website at www.directplus.compaq.com. This solution strengthens Infowave's and Sierra's existing partnerships with Compaq. Infowave was recently chosen for the Compaq Business Solutions for Exchange, an exclusive program for best-in-class partners working with Compaq to offer tested, complete solutions on the Compaq and Microsoft Exchange messaging platform. All three companies are members of the WirelessReady Alliance, a program founded by Sierra Wireless that brings together leading computing and communications vendors to deliver complete and compelling wireless data solutions.
