Mr. Johnny Irish reports
Hall Train Entertainment's wholly owned subsidiary, GPSMAX Inc., has selected
Aludra to design and build its next generation Web site for location-based content
and services. This new site will act as a home base for wireless device users and an
avenue for non-wireless users to gain access to the same location-based content
and services as their wireless counterparts. This mobile Internet platform will offer
content and services such as location relevant business directories, emergency
services and mobile commerce.
GPSMAX is pleased to have Aludra as its strategic partner drawing upon their
experience in e-commerce and Web site development to bring together and deliver
WAP (wireless application protocol)-based location services. "This demonstrates
our shared vision of the importance of personalized wireless applications and
customers will enjoy exciting new services that were not possible a short time ago,"
stated Aldo Baiocchi, president and chief executive officer of Aludra. "We believe
that this will be a major breakthrough for users of the wireless Internet and the best
case to date as to why consumers will consider purchasing Internet-enabled devices
such as cellular phones, personal data assistants and pagers," added Corrado Licini,
vice-president of operations, GPSMAX Inc.
This state-of-the-art platform takes value-added services to a whole new level by
maximizing customer convenience. Mobile users will be able to search for various
destinations and receive directions based on their current or intended location in real
time. The new GPSMAX site is anticipated to launch in the very near future and
will place the company in a position to lead this emerging industry.
New research indicates that by 2004, 95 per cent of digital cellphone users will have
access to wireless data and Internet services. With the proliferation of new wireless
information services, analyst projections indicate that wireless phone subscribers will
nearly triple to 20.1 million by 2004 from seven million in 2000.
