Vipera Offers Telco-Independent Alternative to SMS and MMS

April 6, 2005 -- Vipera announces the immediate availability of an alternative to the telco-controlled SMS and MMS services. Using Internet technology and standards, Vipera has deployed an independent mobile data network. The Vipera network provides services similar to SMS and MMS, but at lower cost and with greater speed, security and flexibility.

The Vipera network is operated atop the existing wireless (GPRS, UMTS, WLAN) and wireline Internet infrastructure. Vipera transports pictures, text and corporate data at the lowest possible cost. Reliably and securely.

End users can download the Vipera Shoot&Send picture messenger to their Java (J2ME) phone. Shoot&Send provides a low-cost alternative to MMS.

Corporations can use the Vipera Software Development Kit (SDK) to rapidly develop end-to-end mobile solutions such as remote order taking, remote control of any type of machine or equipment, logistics, remote surveillance, alerting, and instant messaging.
