Embedded
J2ME and C Client Instant Messaging Software for 3G Mobile Phones
18th June 2002
Ecrio
Inc announced the availability of its embedded client software for Instant
Messaging and Presence Services (IMPS) on mobile handsets. The IMPS software
comes in two versions, C on native OS for processors such as the ARM7™,
and Java™ 2 Micro Edition (J2ME™). Handset manufacturers can
optimize the IMPS client according to the resident OS, devices' memory,
general peripherals, and user interface and language. Mobile device manufacturers
and wireless operators can dramatically reduce development time by embedding
and shipping the software with their handset offerings, or provision it
over the air in the case of J2ME downloads.
The
underlying protocol of the Ecrio embedded client offering is standards-based,
ensuring the software's longevity and ability to interoperate with other
service offerings. "We've always had a strong commitment toward industry
standards such as 3GPP™, IETF, Presence and Availability Management
(PAM) Forum, and the Wireless Village™ initiative," said Nagesh
Challa, President & CEO of Ecrio. "By standing behind this commitment
to standards, future derivatives of our core embedded software will enable
the rapid deployment of new value-added services, such as enhanced multimedia
messaging, gaming, m-commerce, and chat services."
Ecrio
embedded J2ME and C client software seamlessly interacts with the Ecrio™
Rich Instant Messaging Platform, a client/server instant messaging solution
enabling the exchange of AllMedia™ -text, handwritten notes, images,
audio, video, voice, and document files-between phones, smartphones, PDAs,
personal computers, and Internet browsers. With the Ecrio Rich Instant
Messaging Platform, wireless operators and enterprises can immediately
deploy simple text-based wireless instant messaging or complete multimedia
messaging service offerings, over 2G, 2.5G, and next-generation 3G networks.
