Dynamic Mobile Data Announces Mobile Server Wireless Solution for Enterprise and Internet Access DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 1999-- Connects Mobile Workers to Enterprise Networks via the BellSouth Intelligent Wireless Network(SM) Dynamic Mobile Data Systems, Inc. (DMD), a leading provider of wireless software development tools and professional services, today announced the availability of a cost-effective and flexible software product that enables corporations to make their mission critical data, applications and processes available to remote and mobile users. The new product, known as the Mobile Server ("MS"), is a complete set of wireless drivers and controls for Microsoft(R) NT servers and wireless devices. With Mobile Server, corporate and standard off-the-shelf applications that use Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), Mail Application Interface (MAPI) and Winsock can be wirelessly enabled. According to John Darienzo, President and CEO of DMD, "When mobile workers have access to the same information in the field as they would in-house, they become more productive, make better decisions, and respond to emergencies with the appropriate sense of urgency. To our customers," he added, "this translates to additional revenues, better customer service and growth opportunities through the optimization of their workforces." Key strengths of Mobile Server are its support for the nationwide BellSouth Intelligent Wireless Network and its ability to utilize the compact, easy to use RIM Inter@ctive(tm)Pager 950. Using the software development tools included with Mobile Server and the RIM SDK, corporate and commercial developers can build custom user interfaces including edit fields, lists, dialogs, and menus that interact with those on the Mobile Server. Combined with the BellSouth Intelligent Wireless Network, the Mobile Server makes it possible to deploy applications that use the network receive, delivery and read acknowledgements between enterprise networks and the RIM Inter@ctive Pager 950. "The Mobile Server solution when combined with the BellSouth Intelligent Wireless Network provides a fast and easy way for corporations to offer nationwide wireless access to critical information by their mobile workforce," said Tom Langan, Vice President Wireless Access Devices and Systems for BellSouth Wireless Data, "By integrating the RIM Inter@ctive Pager 950 with the BellSouth enabled Mobile Server, enterprises will have a powerful and wearable solution for their users." A Software Developer's Kit (SDK) is also included with C++ library files, Active X controls, documentation and technical support, so developers can create custom wireless applications. The SDK provides developers with a rapid development environment that supports connectivity to the Windows 95/98/NT/CE operating systems, as well as non-Microsoft integrated radio devices such as the RIM Inter@ctive Pager 950, the Palm OS, and other devices with integrated wireless modems. With the included ActiveX controls, all of the power and convenience of the Visual Basic programming environment can now be applied to wireless application development. The Mobile Server includes: -- Databases - access and update capabilities to ODBC compliant databases such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, SQL Anywhere, and Microsoft Access. -- Internet - supports wireless browsing for palm and handheld computers that support Windows 95/98/NT and CE devices with a wireless modem. -- Wireless Devices - supports a Winsock like API on the RIM Inter@ctive Pager 950 and Palm devices. -- Terminal emulation - 3270, AS400, VAX's, and Telnet can now be wirelessly enabled. -- Mail - supports wireless access to Microsoft Outlook and any other mail package that supports MAPI interfaces. -- File Transfer - supports full file replication over wireless networks.
