Isode propose Open Standards approach to challenges of mobile messaging.
With mobile messaging demand continuing to grow and proprietary solutions making most of the running in supplying that demand, Isode CEO Steve Kille, in a talk to EEMA's Annual Conference in Leuven, Belgium today and in a whitepaper released on the Isode website makes the case for an Open Standards approach to mobile messaging.
(LONDON - May 18, 2005) With mobile messaging demand continuing to grow and proprietary solutions making most of the running in supplying that demand, Isode CEO Steve Kille, in a talk to EEMA's Annual Conference in Leuven, Belgium today and in a whitepaper released on the Isode website (Open Standards: The best approach for Mobile Messaging) makes the case for an Open Standards approach to mobile messaging.
Isode believes that solutions based on Open Standards deliver increased flexibility and lower costs compared to their proprietary counterparts and that Open Standards can produce a solution as good as or better than proprietary protocols. A technically robust and commercially viable service can be achieved with Open Standards.
A key step in enabling Open Standards based alternatives to such proprietary protocols/services as Blackberry are the proposals of the IETF's LEMONADE ("License to Enhanced Mobile Oriented And Diverse Endpoints") working group, set up to propose messaging standard extensions in support of smart phones, set-top boxes, other memory/processor limited devices and bandwidth/latency challenged networks.
Isode's soon to be released IMAP server, M-Box, has support for some of the key LEMONADE specifications and Isode will be demonstrating M-Box and expanding on the Open Standards messaging approach at the Inbox/Outbox exhibition being held in London on 22/23 June.
