Enterprise Solutions to Wireless Markets

WiredPocket, a leader in wireless Internet enabling software announced today that it has been selected to join Sun Microsystems, Inc.'s iPlanet Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Partner Program. This signals strong support for WiredPocket's enterprise wireless solutions, which will be integrated with key iPlanet technologies from the Sun(TM) Open Net Environment (Sun ONE(TM)) architecture.

"We are very excited to be partnering with Sun as part of the iPlanet ISV Partner Program," said Bill Rumold, President and CEO of WiredPocket. "WiredPocket is committed to bringing an easy-to-use and cost-effective wireless solution to Web-based businesses, especially enterprise organizations. We have learned from our partners and potential customers that Sun, and specifically the iPlanet(TM) product line, is among the most demanded and reliable platforms on which WiredPocket(TM) PocketPath(TM) is built. We believe that this integration between WiredPocket PocketPath, the iPlanet products -- including the iPlanet(TM) Application Server 6.5 and iPlanet(TM) Web Server 6.0 -- and the Solaris(TM) operating environment (OE) from Sun is the right roadmap to wireless enterprises, and presents new business opportunities for both companies."

iPlanet ISV Partner Program

The iPlanet ISV Partner Program is a joint marketing and developer program designed to enhance and complement an ISV partner's ability to create and penetrate new market opportunities by providing visibility of their solution via Sun's public partner directory as well as the ability to communicate their value proposition and product integration details directly to the Sales sale force through the Internal Solutions Directory. This allows WiredPocket the ability to reach new customers while delivering next generation solutions built on the iPlanet Platform. Being a part of the iPlanet ISV Partner program and having access to a variety of resources has enabled WiredPocket to expedite its product integration with the iPlanet Web Server and iPlanet Application Server.

The WiredPocket Pocket Path Solution and iPlanet Integration

WiredPocket PocketPath server-based software is a fast-and-easy application to transform HTML based web sites to other mark-up languages for optimal delivery to various wireless platforms such as PDAs, i-mode phones and WAP phones. Its intelligent technology dynamically retrieves, maps, summarizes and translates web contents to fit a specific wireless device. It also provides a GUI-based design tool where a web site can be highly customized for wireless devices in a few hours.

PocketPath runs on the iPlanet Web server and iPlanet Application server. These platforms were chosen because of their high performance, scalability and reliability needed as well as the ability to provide companies with an open, integratable foundation to build solutions in the areas of web services assembly, J2EE(TM) development, as well as enterprise and content management that address critical customer needs and to a variety of industries. WiredPocket plans to fully integrate PocketPath with the iPlanet Web and Application Servers so that its resellers are able to provide a one-step turnkey wireless solution package directly to their customers.

"Our goal is to empower ISV's like WiredPocket to compete effectively in today's fast-paced marketplace, said, Laura Clayton, senior director of marketing development at Sun Microsystems. "Because the iPlanet products are based on open standards and a flexible, scalable architecture, our platform can enable easier integration and faster time to market of WiredPocket's new PocketPath software. Additionally, through the iPlanet ISV Partner Program, we also provide WiredPocket the development support and global marketing initiatives it needs to create and deliver the best-of-breed next-generation wireless solutions."
