Mobile Synchronization: Sun Adds Synchronica's Mobile Gateway to Product Suites |
|
Extends Sun's reach beyond desktop clients to a large number of mobile devices
"We look forward to a strong and ongoing strategic relationship with Sun," said Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica, as it was announced today that Sun has agreed to license Synchronica's synchronization and client provisioning technology for its communication products.
“Synchronica has long been committed to supporting industry standards such as SyncML," Brinkschulte continued, "and today’s agreement with Sun validates that open industry standards are the way of the future for technology innovation."
The licensing of core elements of our Mobile Gateway product to a major software infrastructure provider such as Sun represents a significant breakthrough for Synchronica, an international provider of industry standard mobile synchronization and device management solutions. Sun plans to use the core SyncML synchronization engine and the back-end connectors of the Mobile Gateway product to synchronize SyncML enabled devices with the Sun Java System Communications Suite or Sun Java System Application Platform Suite.
Sun also intends to use the provisioning module (OMA CP) enabling over-the-air configuration of mobile devices, reducing the need for manual device configuration. In addition, Sun is planning to use Synchronica’s SyncML clients for Windows Mobile/Pocket PC and Palm OS enabling industry-standard synchronization on Smart phones that do not support SyncML out of the box.
”We're excited to be working with Synchronica because this relationship extends Sun's reach beyond the already wide range of supported desktop clients to a large number of mobile devices,” said Karen Tegan Padir, vice president, Software Infrastructure, Sun Microsystems. “This collaboration also enables our application server developers to build feature-rich and scalable mobile applications that support both connected and disconnected operations."
The Sun Java System Communications Suite is currently used by 240 million e-mailboxes within leading service providers and large organizations for messaging and collaboration services, such as email, IM and calendaring.
As part of the agreement, Sun plans to incorporate key components of Synchronica`s Mobile Gateway for industry-standard wireless synchronization of contacts, calendars, tasks, and other enterprise data to Sun Java System Communications Suite and Sun Java System Application Platform Suite.
