SyncML Gateway Wins 'The Best of CeBIT Award 2006'

Synchronization and Email Push Features for SyncML-compatible Mobile Phones

CeBIT, Hannover, March 20, 2006. - Synchronica plc has won the Best of CeBIT Award 2006 in the category of mobile solutions, for its latest product SyncML Gateway 2.1. The jury from the European telecoms magazine TeleTalk which presents the award each year selected the innovative standard solution for synchronizing emails, contacts, appointments, and tasks between Microsoft Exchange or Sun Java Communications Suite Server with SyncML-compatible phones as the best mobile solution for mobile data synchronization.

At the CeBIT fair in Hannover, the magazine TeleTalk annually awards exhibitors whose products best meet the criteria of innovation and market potential. Synchronica joins Siemens, SAP, and T-Com as one of the great winners of the day.

"Synchronica's SyncML Gateway convinced the jury with its broad field of application. The email push functionality for employees on the road - from board members to the sales force - is its most desired feature. Unlike other solutions, the SyncML Gateway synchronizes with both Microsoft Exchange Server and Sun Java Communications Suite., as well as this, all mobile devices compliant with the industry standard SyncML (OMA DS) can be integrated. This encompasses a wide range of devices that is only set to increase in the future. What also speaks well for Synchronica is the easy configuration of the system, as well as the fact that the solution can be applied by both the service provider and the enterprise." Explained Arne Grävemeyer, chief editor of TeleTalk.

"With our zero footprint technology we need neither additional client software on the mobile phone, nor a Virtual Private Network, nor adapters behind the corporate firewall. SyncML Gateway uses the existing security systems of the internal IT function. Therefore the network remains protected, but is still accessible from the outside - and that with currently more than 250 different mobile phones from leading manufacturers", commented Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica.
