SAN DIEGO, March 18, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- The allure of wireless communications is its ability to afford instant and portable connectivity to anyone, anywhere -- on a variety of wireless devices. Wireless technologies company SMS.ac, Inc. (www.sms.ac) today introduced a new service, called smsDeveloper (www.sms.ac/developer) that enables virtually any third party entity to integrate wireless text and multimedia messaging into its own Internet Web site, corporate intranet, enterprise solution or software architecture.
Imagine that you work at an investment banking firm and that your international roster of clients is asking to be notified throughout the day on various stock performances. Utilizing smsDeveloper, your firm can instantly send text notifications to customers on their mobile devices, anywhere in the world -- regardless of network or wireless standard.
Utilizing smsDeveloper, parents can now receive wireless verification of their children's presence in school and of other significant events, such as test scores. Businesses with satellite locations can simultaneously alert key personnel around the world to urgent communications. Additionally, salespeople on the move can arrange to receive instant text notifications on their wireless devices each time an order is placed, or whenever a specific customer sends them an email. Religious congregations can receive daily SMS inspirational messages. And music fans can be notified as soon as their favorite artist releases a new CD.
Michael Pousti, chairman and chief executive officer at SMS.ac, says that the popularity of his company's consumer-related products led to this initial business offering. He is confident that smsDeveloper will be embraced as much for its functionality as for its ease of use.
"Our message to the global business community is simple," said Pousti. "Provide us with a telephone number and a text message-and we'll deliver it instantly, anywhere. With smsDeveloper, you are always connected to your customers, wherever they are-even across the hard-to-navigate networks and diverse standards we have in America."
"SMS.ac is extracting the complexities from text and MMS (next-generation) messaging," continued Pousti. "The result is that third parties can easily achieve wireless text and next-generation messaging capabilities across any country, any network operator and any technology standard. That is true anytime, anywhere, instant communication -- this is not possible with current offerings like instant messenger."
