724 Solutions Delivers on Linux.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SANTA BARBARA Santa Barbara (săn'tə bär`brə, –bərə), city (1990 pop. 85,571), seat of Santa Barbara co., S Calif., on the Pacific Ocean; inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 27, 2003 The latest release of 724's X-treme Mobility Gateway offers the most flexible deployment scenarios with availability on Linux, Sun Solaris and HP-UX HP's version of Unix that runs on its 9000 family. It is based on SVID and incorporates features from BSD Unix along with several HP innovations.

As the first WAP gateway (Wireless Application Protocol gateway) Software that decodes and encodes requests and responses between the smartphone microbrowsers and the Internet. It decodes the encoded WAP requests from the microbrowser and sends the HTTP requests to the Internet or to a local operating on all three platforms, XMG gives mobile network operators the highest level of flexibility in deployment of their data infrastructure. 724's XMG uniquely gives mobile network operators the flexibility to manage capital expenditure and tighten network security through multi-tier implementations. Mobile operators can now choose to maintain back-end stateful processes on servers running Sun Solaris or HP-UX, and at the same time deploy Linux for front-end processors to achieve the right balance on total cost of ownership. Distributed (de-coupled) system components enable more granular investment to support growth since components can be scaled independently. Security is also enhanced in this multi-tier implementation. Traditional gateway deployments control access to a mobile operator's network and user information through authentication, access rights, and privacy measures. In addition to applying these measures, a tiered network architecture physically limits the number of servers that are exposed to public networks and stores sensitive user information on back-end servers that are not externally accessible. The separation of front-end protocol handling from back-end request processing gives mobile operators the highest level of network and user data protection. It also ensures efficient, cost-effective scaling, and provides the option to employ low cost, high-performance, commodity computing platforms for stateless Refers to software that does not keep track of configuration settings, transaction information or any other data for the next session. When a program "does not maintain state" (is stateless) or when the infrastructure of a system prevents a program from maintaining state, it cannot take components. "Implementing an industry open standard such as WAP (1) (Wireless Access Point) See access point. (2) (Wireless Application Protocol) A standard for providing cellular phones, pagers and other handheld devices with secure access to e-mail and text-based Web pages. 2.0 on open source OS is a natural choice. The high performance 2.4 kernel is an ideal entry point for mobile network operators seeking to benefit from the technical and cost advantages of Linux," says XJ Wang, Yankee Group. "724's focus on innovation and delivering practical solutions have set a new standard for the price, performance, and functionality of WAP gateways." "XMG on Linux is an important addition to 724's value driven product line," says John Sims, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
