CHARLOTTE, N.C.-Paging Network Inc. officially threw its hat into the narrowband personal communications services game last week when Glenayre Technologies Inc. announced that
PageNet has agreed to buy a two-way, ReFLEX 25 system.
Under the terms of the agreement, Glenayre will install the necessary infrastructure and software to migrate PageNet’s one-way networks to a higher capacity two-way voice and data network. PageNet also signed a purchase agreement for Glenayre’s Wireless Access Group acknowledgment pager, called the AccessMate.
Field trials of the network began recently. PageNet said it intends to begin offering device registration services, followed by acknowledgment, or 1.5-way paging, and eventually full interactive two-way services.
