"We are genuinely excited about Optimus' implementation of Megisto's push capability in its network, as it enables us to materially improve the experience of mobile subscribers using our applications." Megisto Push Capability Megisto's Mobile Services Delivery System (MSDS MSDS Material Safety Data Sheets, see there ) allows operators to make subscriber presence and access network capability information available to mobile applications using its new Simple Dynamic Push capability. Mobile operators can make Megisto's push capability available to application developers in two ways. Megisto's Simple Dynamic Push Protocol (SDPP SDPP Site Data Protection Program (MasterCard) ) can be made available to the application developers as an easy-to-integrate network API, enabling applications to directly receive subscriber identity, presence, and access network information (e.g. roaming or home, 2.5G, 3G, or WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network ). The mobile operator can also enable direct population of a standard enterprise database, enabling the application developer to access the presence and access network information using standard database access technology. "RIM's Blackberry service has shown that push-based applications and services are a compelling proposition," said Gordon Saussy Gordon Saussy was a football coach and a local politician from Georgia. Background Saussy was born in Savannah, Georgia on February 14, 1872. He lead a number of civic organizations, including the Georgia Salzburger Society. , Chairman and CEO of Megisto Systems. "However, while enterprise-based infrastructure such as that from RIM is a great start, it leaves a significant part of the market unserved. Megisto has delivered a network-based push capability that allows mobile operators to deliver the value of push directly to their enterprise customers, regardless of their infrastructure capabilities, providing operators with a new revenue stream and opening up their market to small and medium enterprises. By making Megisto's push capability accessible to mobile data application developers, operators can dramatically enhance the user experience and significantly improve the stickiness of their enterprise-based service offerings."
