SANTA CLARA, Calif.-Everypath Inc., a wireless application service provider and technology enabler, introduced its Mobile Application Server, designed to give enterprise customers the ability to convert content into mobile applications accessible from wireless devices.
Everypath originally launched purely as a wireless ASP. The Mobile Application Server marks the company’s evolution to technology enabler.
“The Mobile Application Server defines a new category that includes a platform from which to manage and execute mobile applications across the gamut of wireless devices, as well as a set of tools with which to build the applications from existing formats,” said Prakash Iyer, Everypath co-founder and chief technology officer. “So rather than starting from point zero, enterprise companies can leverage their existing legacy systems, databases and Web content by using MAS to mobilize everything they’ve already created.”

The MAS product leverages Everypath’s server technology used for its ASP business model. It has incorporated both broadband and voice from new technology partners, so content written in HTML, XML and legacy databases can be accessed on various devices. Voice support allows non-display devices to access the content, and a technology partnership with Liberate Technologies allows the content to reach interactive TVs.
“Let me be clear-this is not translation technology and not just transcoding technology either,” Iyer said. “We have built considerably more intelligence into the platform than has been achieved by anyone thus far. This is solid, innovative, ground-breaking technology that is designed expressly for and well-suited to the mobile, non-PC era.”
Thirty Everypath customers have tested the product to date. A controlled, commercial rollout is being planned.
