Contec Launches Hornet Accelerator™ & Hornet™ Version 3.4
Vancouver, Canada-/10 September, 2004 - The Wi-Fi Technology Forum/- Contec Innovations (TSX Venture Exchange – Symbol “BUZ”) announces the release of Hornet Accelerator developer resources, and Version 3.4 software for Contec’s Hornet mobile service delivery platform.
Hornet Accelerator enables Hornet operators to manage and support development of world-class mobile applications using their Hornet systems. It provides the tools to make application development on the Hornet faster and easier than ever before. Hornet Accelerator will provide Contec with the means to accumulate a critical mass of compelling mobile data applications that the Company can offer as part of its complete solution.
Perry Quan, Contec’s President and CEO comments, “The Accelerator is an important step on our way to ‘opening the floodgates’, bringing a large number of third party applications into the wireless space and as such, giving mobile operators the choice they are looking for.”
Hornet 3.4 software includes new enhancements that enable mobile operators to classify applications and provide their subscribers with a structured directory of all available applications. The operator’s wireless subscribers will be able to self-subscribe and try new applications before signing up for these new services.
Mr. Quan adds, “With Hornet 3.4, applications are now more visible to the operator’s mobile phone subscribers. If subscribers can’t discover the applications and try them out, they won’t get excited about them and won’t sign up and pay for them. The enhancements to Hornet 3.4 will help mobile operators generate more revenue by putting more applications in front of their subscribers, making the Hornet more attractive to mobile operators and service providers.”
Contec Innovations is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol “BUZ”.
