As part of the relationship, Simplewire has made Jabber the foundation for all wireless instant messaging services, allowing Internet users to send and receive messages to and from Jabber to any wireless device, regardless of the service provider.
Instant messaging is an increasingly popular form of instant communication between individuals.
Until now, instant messaging has been largely tied to personal computers. While much of the attention for instant messaging has been focused on the PC market, we believe the growth for this industry will be driven from the need for wireless instant messaging. Our two platforms are extremely complimentary, Jabber provided us with an extensible instant messaging platform and we provide Jabber with a simple way to send and receive messages to most wireless devices, regardless of service provider in much of North America and Canada. The integration of Simplewire's messaging technology into Jabber's enterprise products promises to bring the vision of ubiquitous wireless instant messaging to fruition. Simplewire's wireless messaging platform unifies all wireless networks and mobile devices into a consistent and simple interface.
