Mobile Computing introduces new software Mobile Computing Corp MBL Shares issued 28,438,752 Sep 19 close $2.20 Wed 20 Sept 2000 News Release Mr. David Cunningham reports BSQUARE Corporation (Nasdaq: BSQR) and Mobile Computing Corporation have introduced a new software that provides seamless wireless wide area network (WAN) connectivity, enabling businesses to easily extend applications such as E-mail, Web browsing, work order management and other enterprise applications to a mobile work force. The new Mobile Applications eXtender T (MAX) Wireless software provides a unique push/pull infrastructure needed for efficient wireless WAN connections using a range of networks throughout North America, and helps reduce wireless data transmission costs. Critical limiting factors in the proliferation and use of wireless WANs, especially in business-to-business applications, have included limited coverage, intermittent connections, usage cost and lack of interoperability. MAX Wireless software from BSQUARE and Mobile Computing Corporation solves this problem by enabling the automatic routing of information between mobile Windows CE-based devices and a central Windows 2000 server across multiple wireless networks. MAX provides protocol transparency, combined with a standard TCP/IP stack that allows applications to move from an existing wire line system to wireless networks with no application rewrite requirements. Now working wireless data are more reliable, affordable and easier to use than ever before. BSQUARE jointly developed MAX Wireless software with Mobile Computing Corporation. The two companies created the product from the combination of BSQUARE's technical expertise in developing solutions for Windows CE-based devices and Mobile Computing Corporation's extensive experience in providing wireless solutions for mobile worker industries. "In step with our mission to provide a complete solution set for the development and deployment of intelligent computing devices, we are now branching out to provide key wireless connectivity software to ensure that mobile devices can reliably exchange data with each other and with home base," explained Denise Slocombe, business unit director of BSQUARE's mobile and wireless group. "This product is pivotal in enabling BSQUARE to deliver full systems solutions to our customer base. High-volume mobile markets such as the transportation industry, sales and field force industry, and other mobile industries all need this exciting new technology. "Now receiving and transmitting wireless data is more reliable, affordable, and easier than ever before," said David Cunningham, president and chief executive officer of Mobile Computing Corporation. "The Max Wireless software fits into our strategy of providing complete wireless solutions that work seamlessly across different wireless networks, and with those business critical applications that mobile workers need." MAX Wireless software kit makes creating wireless applications easy The MAX Wireless software provides the tools for developers to quickly and easily extend enterprise applications to a mobile work force. MAX Wireless consists of Windows CE drivers for wireless WAN radio modems such as CDPD, Mobitex, circuit-switched cellular, spread spectrum and a host of other networks, as well as Windows 2000 server software components. With the MAX Wireless toolkit developers can: save corporate time and money by enabling both the client and server to work together to ensure full operation and minimize usage charges as a result of the unique push/pull capability; avoid the limitations of traditional proxy server technology; provide guaranteed message delivery and efficient routing for the end-user application by supporting wireless MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queuing); save money by identifying the least expensive way to send data with the least-cost routing feature; minimize the amount of data sent across a wireless WAN by providing data compression and optimization; work transparently with Winsock-based enterprise applications; and enable direct Internet protocol (IP) addressing of both Windows CE mobile clients and Windows 2000 server using Winsock calls. Pricing and availability The software is available in a starter package with pricing beginning at $1,495 (U.S.) for one server development licence and five client development licences. MAX Wireless software will be available in the fourth quarter.
