Notify Technology Launches New Version of its NotifyLink Internet Edition Service
SAN JOSE, CA – March 5, 2002– Notify Technology Corporation (NASDAQ: NTFY), today announced the availability of its new wireless email hosted service to all ReFLEX Carriers, called NotifyLink Internet Edition Professional Version. Notify Technology’s new wireless email service has been developed for companies that utilize outsourced email and/or “dial-up” email professionals who want virtual real time notification, access and management of their email using their wireless 2-way messaging device. This solution also works with all POP3 and IMAP4 email systems in addition to AOL, HotMail®, EarthLink, MSN®, Yahoo!®, among many others.
In November of 2000, Notify launched its original NotifyLink Internet Edition Standard Version targeted at the consumer “dial-up” market. This version was developed to check a users email account for new email every hour, and then forward new email to the users 2-way device. Whereas the new NotifyLink Internet Edition Professional Version was developed to give the carriers the ability to customize different intervals to check a users email account for new email. These interval times can be set from 1 to 30 minutes depending on the Carriers service offering. Should users desire to check their email in between an interval period, the Professional Edition Version will allow users to “on demand” check any of their specified email accounts. Email users can now receive a virtual real-time wireless email notification without having to “log-on and/or dial-up” to check for new email. Notify plans to offer the NotifyLink Internet Edition Professional Version to all ReFLEX Carriers.
Both the Standard and Professional Version can provide transparent wireless email notification, access, and management to users of the Motorola (NYSE:MOT) Talkabout® T900 and TimeportTM P935.
"The Professional Version meets a critical need for companies and professionals who cannot utilize our NotifyLink Desktop or Enterprise Server Solution,” said Paul DePond, president and founder of Notify Technology. "In addition, as new ReFLEX devices enter the marketplace, Notify will continue to develop its NotifyLink Internet Edition to support these new devices."
How The NotifyLink Internet Edition Standard and Professional Version Works
NotifyLink Internet Edition is ideal for companies or professionals who need virtual real time notification of their email. Users can read, compose, reply, forward, and delete messages from their wireless 2-way device while maintaining multiple email accounts. When emails are sent from the 2-way device, the email will appear as if it were sent from the users existing email address, not the 2-way wireless address.
Users will register for the service via a web-based interface typically linked to a specific Carrier’s web site. To set up the NotifyLink Internet service, users will specify each email account they want to monitor and set any appropriate filters. Users can tailor notifications by defining a "header" which contains information about the e-mail such as account, sender, subject, date and time, attachment names, attachment sizes, partial body text, and remaining character count.
Once registered, the NotifyLink Internet Edition will check all specified email accounts for new email during the preset times, from every minute, to ever hour on the hour. Users will have the capability to perform "on-demand checking" of any of their specified accounts at any time. Once the service determines that a user has new email, a notification will be sent to the user using the defined "header". The user will have the option to see "more" of the email body or "reply", "forward", or "delete" the email and its corresponding attachments from the wireless 2-way device.
