Sonic Software Corporation, the leader in e-business messaging (EBM) software and services, today announced that it is delivering a wireless messaging infrastructure built on SonicMQ(TM), its award-winning E-Business Messaging Server. SonicAir(TM) is the first and only reliable cross-network infrastructure to seamlessly enable transitions from connected to wireless networks, across multiple wireless providers. Sonic Software is previewing SonicAir this week at Sun's Worldwide Java Developer Conference in booth #1621.
"Adding wireless capability is a logical next step for SonicMQ," said Greg O'Connor, president of Sonic Software. "This cross-network infrastructure provides the backbone for extending SonicMQ's reliable delivery capabilities into the wireless arena. SonicAir is the first messaging software to deliver a seamless, multi-protocol, `roamable' service, providing the perfect operating environment for the exchange of information between any platform or device."
SonicAir supports multiple wireless protocols including 802.11 B, Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD), Motient (DataTac) and Bell South Wireless Data (Mobitex). As a result of this multi-protocol support, SonicAir maximizes communication throughput by dynamically selecting the best available protocol for message delivery. Utilizing SonicMQ's Dynamic Routing Architecture(TM) (DRA), SonicAir allows distributed applications to be developed and deployed without regard for connection type or network topology. SonicAir delivers a reliable and secure exchange of business-critical information among distributed applications, users and businesses by leveraging current and emerging connectionless communication services and networks. Its modular design supports established and emerging protocols, transparently providing protocol independence to application developers.
When bringing handheld and mobile devices into the extended enterprise, it is advantageous to utilize a single infrastructure that allows for the integration of these devices. By combining wireless services with the proven messaging capabilities of SonicMQ, SonicAir delivers seamless end-to-end data connectivity within complex multi-network communication environments.
SonicAir is in beta test this month, with commercial availability expected in September.
SonicMQ represents a major advance over previous generations of messaging products and is widely recognized as the leader in e-business messaging. It natively supports Internet standards and is based on the Java(TM) Message Service (JMS) specification, which provides a common set of interfaces, messaging concepts and programming strategies. SonicMQ has been chosen by many leading e-commerce companies and has won numerous awards, including Java Pro Magazine's Readers Choice Award for Best Java Messaging Tool, Best Java Middleware from attendees at the SIGS Conference for Java Development, and a World Class Award from Java Developer's Journal.
