WaveWare Communications Launches WaveSync Synchronization Server
SAN DIEGO — June 21, 1999 — WaveWare Communications today announced that it is shipping WaveSync(TM) the premier synchronization server. WaveSync enables applications that currently synchronize over the Palm Computing(R) platform's HotSync(R) architecture to synchronize with an enterprise server. With WaveSync, Multiple users can now synchronize multiple applications simultaneously with a central server from the desktop or remotely direct to the server.
By introducing this new server, WaveSync transforms Palm Computing connected organizers into enterprise tools. The WaveSync package includes a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use management tool for IT managers to control an entire population of Palm organizers accessing the enterprise server. Targeting the mobile worker, WaveSync provides patent-pending Accelerated Synchronization Technology (AST(TM)) that can perform up to five times faster than HotSync technology over standard wireless and Internet links.
WaveSync performs several communication tasks at once, all with a single button push. With WaveSync, a typical mobile worker can update his Palm Computing device with the company phone list, a new data-collection form, and a new rate-calculation program, while at the same time updating the enterprise server with data, contacts and customer appointments he has entered into his handheld.
"We are excited to see that WaveWare brings to market an enterprise-grade synchronization server that supports the ever-growing family of conduits and applications developed for the Palm Computing platform," said Gabriel Acosta-Lopez, Director of Developer Services at Palm Computing, Inc., a 3Com company. "WaveSync adds excellent synchronization server technology by being able to utilize the same conduit application programming interface (API) as the one designed for the HotSync technology."
Several partners are working to achieve compatibility with WaveSync in order to extend their products to the enterprise environment. Pendragon Software Corporation has announced WaveSync compatibility of both Pendragon OrderForms, a point-of-sale application, and Pendragon Forms the leading data-collection application and development tool for the Palm Computing platform. Novatel Wireless Inc. has recognized WaveSync as a leading solution for wireless synchronization using the Novatel Minstrel III(TM) Wireless IP Modem for the Palm Computing platform.
David B. Cook, CTO of WaveWare, says of WaveSync: "We're thrilled to introduce this groundbreaking synchronization server and transport technology to the market. Sync at lightning speed with access from anywhere opens the door to untold numbers of new uses for handhelds. We anticipate that WaveSync will help fuel all explosion in wireless data utilization."
WaveSync is available from WaveWare Communications, Inc., at www.waveware.net. Pricing starts at $2,495 for a 10-user version and $7,495 for a 100-user version. Attractive per-user licensing is available for larger numbers of users.
