Everypath is Poised for Growth in the Burgeoning New World

Wireless Economy

As the market for cell phones that are capable of receiving content from the Internet wirelessly heats up in Asia, so does one of the market leaders in wireless infrastructure services. Today, Everypath(TM), the leading wireless application service provider in the United States, opened its doors in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad to attract wireless IT (information technology) and mobile technology experts as well as large and mid-sized businesses interested in developing wireless services for their customers.

According to Divakar Tantravahi, Everypath India's Managing Director, "Everypath India Development Center intends to create a Silicon Valley startup culture in Hyderabad, offering the freedom to innovate, the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology, and the potential to create wealth." Tantravahi adds, "Given the increase in e-business and wireless applications markets in India, Everypath India is also exploring the possibility of servicing domestic clients."

"Mobile commerce is going to be a lot bigger than what we see in the wired world today. With a combination of technology and people, Everypath offers a total solution for businesses to deliver robust and scaleable wireless applications and content to its customers," said Everypath co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Prakash Iyer.

Listed as one of "Best of the Web B2B" Indian-American companies by Forbes Magazine this month, winner of the prestigious Smithsonian-ComputerWorld award, and nominated by Technologic Partners as "Investor's Choice," Everypath unveiled more than 30 new wireless websites mobilized with its technology in April of this year including leading brand names like E*TRADE, Egghead, Paytrust and Salesforce.com. Everypath has also forged strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Engage, Ericsson, Hewlett Packard, Sybase, Sun and TANTAU to weave its cutting edge wireless technology into the very foundation of the Internet. Everypath enables corporations and commercial websites to mobilize their existing web assets to an array of wireless devices such as Internet-ready cell phones, Palm handhelds and two-way pagers without reprogramming. Unlike any other competing service, Everypath's unique patent-pending technology can also translate databases and websites so that they can be accessed with voice commands from ordinary wired or cellular telephones. This is particularly advantageous as a way to bridge the "Digital Divide" and deliver the Internet to all of the world's people, even those who do not own a personal computer.

"Together, with Everypath, employees and business leaders alike will help lay the groundwork for a wireless web that will finally deliver the kind of compelling content that is needed to drive mass adoption of wireless technology for both consumers and the corporate enterprise," said Everypath CEO Venktesh Shukla. In the next five years, wireless devices are predicted to explode in popularity as a means to access the Internet easily and inexpensively. According to IDC, fifty percent of all wireless phones will be Internet-enabled by 2001.
