Sun Selects Synchronica's Mobile Gateway to Extend Mobile Reach
Sun has selected Synchronica for their synchronization and device-management software. Sun will license key components of the Synchronica Mobile Gateway for integration with products from its Communications and Applications software divisions. This will help the company to enable wireless synchronization of contacts, calendars, tasks, and other enterprise data to Sun Java System Communications Suite and Sun Java System Application Platform Suite. 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. Furthermore, Sun 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. Sun hopes this will enable them to build products that can perform over-the-air synchronisation of ERP or CRM data to the Smartphones.
