NEW YORK-In its first application outside paging, Motorola Inc.’s FLEX chipsets will be used in Ex Machina Inc.’s AirMedia Live information services product, the companies announced.
AirMedia Live will allow computer users to access Internet services without going online. For instance, a light will signal if an e-mail message has come in. Sports scores, stock quotes, weather and other news and entertainment information can be accessed in real time, said David Rose, Ex Machina chairman and chief executive officer.
AirMedia Live data will run on Paging Network Inc.’s FLEX network, a cost-effective choice as the networks are built and FLEX offers capacity and ubiquity, said Rose.
Suggested retail price for AirMedia Live user software is about $200, said Rose, which includes basic services like general sports scores and news. Upgrades will start at $6 per month.
