Everypath's Bold, New Technology Platform Plus Tools

Turns Everything -- from Legacy Systems to Web Content --

into Mobile Applications

Defining a new category in the wireless space, Everypath today announces the Mobile Application Server (MAS), a platform plus the suite of tools that takes data from different sources and renders it ready for the widening variety of mobile devices.

Everypath's Mobile Application Server gives enterprise companies a platform they can use in-house to convert all their information stores -- including HTML, XML, legacy applications, databases, and Web content -- into mobile applications accessible virtually anywhere in the world.

"This unique, creative effort introduces a whole new category into the wireless space by combining the creation and deployment of mobile applications," explained Prakash Iyer, Everypath's Co-Founder and CTO. "The Mobile Application Server defines a new category that includes a platform from which to manage and execute mobile applications across the gamut of wireless devices, as well as a set of tools with which to build the applications from existing formats. So rather than starting from point zero, enterprise companies can leverage their existing legacy systems, databases, and Web content by using MAS to mobilize everything they've already created."

"We took the tried and tested server technology that was seasoned and hardened through the ASP model, and from that starting point we created the Mobile Application Server. Now, after extensive testing, we have ironed out all the kinks," said Prakash Iyer. "Beyond the difficult presentation challenges for multiple devices, other complex issues had to be overcome to build scalable, enterprise-level applications. We've incorporated broadband and voice in the server so that MAS can service everything from devices with no display to interactive TV. Let me be clear -- this is not translation technology, and not just transcoding technology, either. We have built considerably more intelligence into the platform than has been achieved by anyone thus far. This is solid, innovative, ground-breaking technology that is designed expressly for and well-suited to the mobile, non-PC era."

The Mobile Application Server Has Escalating Support from an

Impressive Base of Investors and Partners

The Mobile Application Server (MAS) has been successfully tested by 30 of Everypath's customers to date, and the company is currently exploring introduction by selected enterprises in a controlled rollout that will commence soon. The recent infusion of over $70 million in funding, coupled with a stream of new strategic alliances with companies such as Andersen Consulting, Inc. and Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, indicates clear and vigorous support industry-wide for this innovative direction by Everypath.

Everypath's MAS Provides a High-End Graphical Tool to Develop

Applications As Well as the Platform to Run Them

Liberate Technologies (Nasdaq:LBRT), an Everypath partner and the leading provider of software for the delivery of Internet enhanced television content, has integrated Everypath's MAS technology into its set-top box for interactive TV. The use of MAS has created an even broader selection of Web-based content for Liberate network operator customers to deliver, and has allowed creators of Web content and applications to expand their brand presence to the television medium more simply and in a much reduced timeframe. Moreover, content providers can optimize the same content and applications for wireless devices.

As a high-end graphical tool for the development of applications, MAS allows developers to optimize the user experience. As a platform from which to run mobile applications, MAS enables the use of Javascript, frames, cookies, security, alerts, and location-based services, not to mention facilitating mobile commerce, off-line browsing, and administration. "Web application servers and Web servers changed the way the world used the Internet," said Prakash Iyer. "Everypath's Mobile Application Server will change how the world uses mobile devices."
