Intel Demonstrates Wireless Access to Enterprise IT Systems At CTIA Wireless 2002 biz.yahoo.com ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 2002--Intel Corp. today outlined how mobile professionals can become more productive with anywhere, anytime access to the same corporate information that would be available to them from a personal computer. The strategy involves easily and effectively incorporating Internet-enabled cell phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) into corporate information technology (IT) environments. At the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Wireless 2002 conference, Intel introduced a reference guide that small and large businesses can use to integrate wireless client devices into their corporate IT systems. The Intel® Personal Internet Client Architecture (Intel PCA) Wireless Enterprise Reference Solution contains the hardware and software information necessary for businesses to link wireless client devices operating on the advanced GPRS (2.5G) wireless network with enterprise server applications. The Intel guide is based on an internal pilot program that Intel's IT department conducted with various Intel business groups located in different parts of the world. In the pilot, Intel employees used PDAs powered by Intel components to wirelessly access enterprise database information, such as sales, manufacturing and inventory control data. This reference guide can be implemented using software, such as IBM WebSphere Everyplace Embedded Software, and available wireless networks. Additional information on the reference guide is available at www.intel.com/pca/developernetwork/devsupport. ``There's a pot of gold out there for companies that can help enterprises empower their mobile workers with the ability to access corporate data anytime, anywhere,'' said Ron Smith, senior vice president and general manager of the Intel Wireless Communications and Computing Group. In an appearance at CTIA, Smith demonstrated how wireless clients such as a Compaq iPAQ powered by the Intel® StrongARM* processor can be used via a wireless GPRS network connection to access a sales and inventory enterprise application using IBM WebSphere software. Intel also demonstrated a customer relationship management application running on Action Engine's Mobile Service Framework, as well as a location-based application, FriendFinder(TM), from SignalSoft Corp. ``One of the biggest challenges that businesses face today is how to incorporate wireless devices into their enterprise infrastructure,'' said Smith. ``Many companies use wireless clients for standard office operations like e-mail or calendaring, but not to securely access valuable enterprise information. Intel is working with leaders like IBM to help the industry accomplish this.'' ``Embedded middleware is becoming a bigger and more important piece of the puzzle as enterprises evolve to a world with fewer cables and wires,'' said Dennis King, director of architecture of IBM's Pervasive Computing Division. ``Offering applications and data to mobile employees using different devices means extending the core traits of a company's e-Business infrastructure: interoperability, security, reliability and scalability.'' Grove Advocates Broadband ``Everywhere'' Intel Chairman Andy Grove also spoke at CTIA, joining Smith's appearance via a live video transmission from his personal computer in California to a wireless PDA that Smith held onstage at the conference. Grove reported that the technology industry should focus on enabling broadband access ``everywhere'' through a variety of devices and networks. ``Broadband access to the Internet is the next critical step we have to take,'' said Grove. ``Always on, always available is as important as fast access.'' Grove also issued a challenge for the United States-based wireless industry to make advancements in the transition to data services faster than other regions in the world. ``The United States should leapfrog the world and become the first region to make data the lead application for wireless,'' said Grove. ``The United States uses data more, and we have more tangible computing uses on average here. Business is centered here. We should be the first to successfully make this transition.'' Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products. Additional information about Intel is available at www.intel.com/pressroom.

>During each of their calls with the financial community in the past month, Dell (DELL:Nasdaq - news - commentary - research - analysis), Hewlett-Packard (HWP:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis) and Intel (INTC:Nasdaq - news - commentary - research - analysis) sent a clear signal that they still haven't seen anything that could be interpreted as a pickup in corporate spending. Nonetheless, companies such as Compaq (CPQ:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis) and some Street analysts have bought into the idea that a combination of Windows XP, new Intel Pentium 4 chips and low PC shipments in 2001 created a pent-up demand situation that would be unfettered in the second half of 2002.< I think that a lot of corporations are holding off upgrading because of Windows XP.
