Air2Web Wireless Application Platform Lets Companies Extend E-business Initiatives To Wireless Devices

Air2Web, Inc. announced a wireless application platform that allows organizations to quickly and seamlessly extend their e-business initiatives to deliver wireless solutions that support any carrier, network, device or location.

The Air2Web's Always Interactive suite of services is carrier and network independent and enables organizations to create, deploy and deliver their branded applications to customers using all types of wireless devices from WAP and SMS phones, to pagers and pervasive computing devices. The Air2Web platform supports interactive text and audio applications across the widest range of wireless devices including one-way SMS. Air2Web provides state-of-the-art application hosting with day-to-day applications management and continuous support.

"The intersection of Internet and e-business with digital wireless networks and mobile devices creates dramatic potential," said Sanjoy Malik, Air2Web president and chief executive officer. "This market intersection drives two types of development need: wireless interactivity and the business logic for mobile customers. Air2Web provides interactivity across all digital wireless devices and allows a developer to concentrate on the mobile business logic -- the key interactions with customers."

Air2Web is distinguished in the market by its ability to support interactive applications that make devices and networks transparent. By writing an application to the Air2Web open platform it is possible to build wireless applications in as simple or sophisticated a format as desired. This translates to sending a simple flight cancellation notice, allowing a workgroup to re-schedule a meeting remotely, or transferring funds between bank accounts.

Air2Web provides wireless application services through a published interface and actively recruits developers to use this interface for their wireless web work. Air2Web offers complete training programs as well as ongoing developer support to enable state of the art wireless solutions for businesses around the globe.

Air2Web counts leading media, finance, travel, transportation, shipping and e-commerce companies as customers, including: United Parcel Service (UPS), NetBank, TotalSports, and Open Site.
