Mobile computing implies wireless transmission, but wireless transmission does not necessarily imply mobile computing. Fixed wireless applications use satellites, radio systems and lasers to transmit between permanent objects such as buildings needs and this agreement positions us to meet that need with a best-of-breed solution for both interactive and offline requirements," said Iyer. Everypath's use of Broadbeam's store-and-forward technology ensures mobile workforces will always receive critical corporate information by temporarily storing wireless messages for out-of-coverage users and then forwarding messages when they return to coverage areas. At the same time it supports real-time interactive communication when both sides are connected, where messaging may be initiated either from the client or server. These features provide users of wireless devices who frequently experience temporary coverage holes, battery failures, or powered off devices, with the peace-of-mind that time-critical data messages will be immediately forwarded to the appropriate party the moment coverage returns. The users also benefit from the technology because they can maximize the capabilities of intelligent devices by queuing up messages on the device, making the application operable operable /op·er·a·ble/ (op´er-ah-b'l) subject to being operated upon with a reasonable degree of safety; appropriate for surgical removal. op·er·a·ble adj. even when out of coverage.
