CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-Lotus Development Corp. announced a new version of its Lotus Notes Pager Gateway, a wireless messaging solution for Lotus Notes that allows customers to filter and forward messages to mobile users carrying pagers.
Lotus Notes Pager Gateway 2.0 improves the transmission of information from the desktop to alphanumeric or PCMCIA pagers through message abbreviation, an open architecture that supports multiple paging protocols that includes two-way paging, additional e-mail fields and multiple communication ports that allow groups of people to receive paging simultaneously, said Lotus.
The new version also allows users to program agents to alert pagers of updates to databases or e-mail files, allowing time-sensitive information to be communicated instantaneously, said the company. For instance, a potential customer can fill out a form on a company’s Web page requesting product information. Upon submission of the form, Pager Gateway 2.0 will automatically send a page message to the appropriate sales representative for a quick response.
