IBM, HP announce new agreements in wireless data space

SAN JOSE, Calif.—Technology giants IBM Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co. both continued to reinforce their wireless data offerings through new resale and licensing agreements, a strategy the two companies have been employing a great deal recently.

HP licensed Pixo Inc.’s Mobile Download Server for wireless Java downloading. HP said it will use the Pixo MDS to provide new wireless solutions and services to mobile operators in Asia Pacific.

Separately, HP will resell ViaFone’s OneBridge product, which gives mobile workers wireless access to corporate information. The two companies announced pharmaceutical company Schering-Plough Israel as their first customer.

Finally, IBM partnered with Cash-U to integrate the company’s Pecan mobile entertainment platform into IBM’s WebSphere Everyplace Server software. IBM will sell its server to wireless carriers.
