Semotus Announces Launch of Wireless Messaging Software Solution: HipLinkXS
URL(s): Semotus
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 25, 2001--Semotus Solutions (AMEX:DLK)(formerly Datalink.net), a market
leading wireless application service provider (w-ASP) and infrastructure architect, today announced the launch of HipLinkXS(TM),
a powerful, state-of-the-art enterprise messaging software solution that enables delivery of critical message delivery to and from
the field with the customer's choice of carriers and devices. Wireless messaging is utilized in daily business practices and
supports the increasing number of remote field employees while improving company profitability and productivity.
HipLinkXS is designed to fully integrate with any enterprise application and provides the link between applications, clients,
customers, partners and employees. This innovative software solution enables employees and customers to remain connected
and capable of receiving mission-critical business notifications, while improving employee accuracy and reliability. Users can
send messages and request a response back from the receiver, with the ability to trigger server processes based on the
response from the two-way device. HipLinkXS supports virtually any wireless device for secure, reliable, two-way
communications via a single integration point, providing turnkey access to wireless carriers around the world.
Revenue projections, based on industry demand and market share are estimated to reach $1.75 million in HipLinkXS sales
within the first 12 months of launch. "In fact, several major customers using the HipLinkXS trial version have already been
secured, and significant revenues from our installed base, direct sales, and partner programs are anticipated," said Kim Wold,
president of Cross Communications. "With the expected boom in wireless messaging estimated to be in the 25-50% growth
range over the next 5 years, HipLinkXS is poised for increased market penetration and tremendous revenue potential."
There are three packages available in HipLinkXS. Application Messaging, a messaging "engine," that can be fully integrated
with any enterprise application; Desktop Messaging, a stand-alone messaging system, is used as a simple "point and click"
feature, to send messages to anyone by typing a message and pressing send; and HipLinkXS network service, a hosted service
using the Semotus Gateway, is a direct, high-speed link to all wireless data networks in North America.
HipLinkXS provides a significant value proposition for corporations, such as reducing costs, increasing mobile workforce
efficiency and productivity, secure data management, and success factors such as reliability, email integration, and service
support.
HipLinkXS integrates with applications such as Remedy/Peregrine and acts as the messaging system to serve the main
support and assistance center for customer, employee and partner issues. Mobile employees have 24x7 access to their email
and are alerted to potential opportunities, providing the framework for a significant competitive advantage. Software packages,
such as Microsoft Exchange Server, can be easily integrated with HipLinkXS' email assistant, forwarding email from the
corporate server to wireless devices. Field service, dispatch, and other mobile field service administrators can efficiently manage
wireless messaging to a company's field service representatives.
"Semotus is very proud to be launching HipLinkXS, a premier product in wireless messaging. Today's corporations are
depending on reliable and secure wireless messaging solutions for real-time monitoring and alert notification of critical, enterprise
situations. Implementation of wireless notification solutions can save millions of dollars in preventative measures, and resolves
issues prior to loss in productivity," said Anthony N. LaPine, chairman and CEO of Semotus. "Our proven ability to seamlessly
integrate wireless solutions and meet the increasing business demands will provide significant revenue for our organization, and
give us the platform to continue our exponential growth and power the forthcoming wireless revolution."
Cross Communications, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Semotus, developed the first generation messaging software package
in 1995. Cross Communications has been providing messaging solutions to hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies and has been
integrated with numerous enterprise applications. Cross Communication's knowledge and experience in desktop messaging, and
