First Launched: In its existing form as ‘Mobile Gateway’, the product was launched in February 2007.
What it does? Mobile Gateway provides carrier-grade push email and synchronization for virtually every mass-market feature phone and smartphone. Based on the dominant open industry standards Push IMAP (LEMONADE) for mobile email and SyncML (OMA DS) for PIM synchronization, it uses the built-in email and synchronization clients found in over 1.5 billion phones. Email-to-SMS functionality expands its reach to virtually every phone. Serving consumers and prosumers, Mobile Gateway includes support for POP3 and IMAP mailboxes, such as AOL or Gmail. Business mailboxes supported include Microsoft Exchange and Sun Java System Communications Suite.
“Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in mobile technology are helping shape better products and services. As workforces become increasingly mobile, consumers are demanding access to email, calendar and contact information no matter their location or type of phone. Synchronica Mobile Gateway solves this problem by delivering a superior mobile email solution to the global mass market that is both cost effective and offers a high-quality user experience.”
