Infinite Interchange To Bring Wireless E-Mail to Corporations
Allows Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Access to Existing
Mailboxes
OWINGS
MILLS, MD � September 7, 1999 �
Infinite Technologies, Inc. today announced a wireless
e-mail solution for corporate customers. Infinite InterChange, a
popular Internet e-mail solution, is now the most powerful e-mail
solution available for Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) compatible
mobile phones and devices. Infinite Technologies is the first company
to offer WAP support in a commercial e-mail product.
Infinite InterChange will allow users to access the same mailbox from
their wireless phone as they do via the wired Internet. �The last
thing most users need is another mailbox�, says Allan Carter, Vice
President of Marketing for Infinite Technologies, Inc. �Infinite
InterChange allows seamless integration with the corporation�s
existing e-mail system, so users don�t have to be concerned with
forwarding messages from one box to another.�
Infinite InterChange has been licensed for over 20 million mailboxes
worldwide. Infinite InterChange powers the remote e-mail service for
radio station KAYD in Beaumont, Texas. �Infinite�s product is an
obvious advantage to our station and our listeners�, said Chrissie
Roberts, Web Director for KAYD. �They customized the system to make
it look as though it is right from our Web site. We chose Infinite
because of the service and attention to detail that they provide.�
"Infinite Technologies' solution is fast and secure, which makes
it stand out from the rest", said Christian Dysthe of Opera
Software (http://www.opera.com) who runs OperaMail. "We even get
mail from our users telling us how much better our e-mail service is
than others."
Infinite InterChange is a server-based application that integrates
seamlessly with any IMAP4 (Internet Messaging Access Protocol Version
4), POP (Post Office Protocol Version 3), SMTP (Simple Mail Transport
Protocol), Microsoft Mail, Microsoft Exchange, Lotus cc:Mail, Lotus
Notes, or Connect2 based e-mail system, or a mixed environment
containing multiple protocols. Infinite InterChange also integrates
with the underlying directory systems of these e-mail systems,
including LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). Remote
wireless users connect through a WAP gateway to the InterChange server
for direct access to their underlying mailbox, eliminating the
synchronization problems and security risks inherent with other
solutions that use a separate wireless mailbox. SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols ensure secure
access.
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an open global standard for
communication between a mobile handset and the Internet or other
computer applications, defined by the WAP forum (http://www.wapforum.org).
WAP-based technology enables the design of advanced, interactive and
real-time mobile services, such as mobile banking or Internet based
news services, which can be used in digital mobile phones or other
mobile devices. The WAP specification enables solutions from various
suppliers to work consistently for end-users on the digital networks.
