Who is the typical Mobitex user?
Mobitex supports the widest range of data applications from wireless e-mail solutions like Blackberry ™, one of the most popular wireless data applications in the world, to customized solutions for professional users.

Mobitex is optimized for short, bursty data for people on the go. A typical user can be a mobile worker such as a police officer, field worker, or service- and delivery personnel. A wireless data solution based on Mobitex can give mobile workers access to critical information needed to perform their work efficiently.

A Mobitex user can also be, and often is, a machine. Mobitex is frequently used for machine-to-machine communication. Typical areas are remote monitoring and control of alarms, power supply, heaters, gas, water and parking meters. You can also find many users among merchants who use Mobitex as carrier for credit card validations and transactions.

Today, the Mobitex networks are widely deployed by vertical solutions for public safety, government, security, transport & logistics, public transport, banking and merchants, and other types of organizations.

What is driving the market for wireless business applications?
The main factor is the wish to reduce communication costs, to increase efficiency in the organizations and to optimize the use of resources.
A heightened awareness of security needs and focus on anti-terrorism are also driving aspects for the demand for Mobitex services.

How do you expect Mobitex to develop over the coming years?
Many Mobitex operators already offer a number of machine-to-machine solutions on their networks. This is an area of the telecommunication industry that is growing rapidly and will continue to do so over the coming years. Mobitex operators are well positioned in order to win new business in this rapidly growing sector. In the local government sector there is also a demand for privately owned data networks mainly by the public safety and public transport organizations.

There are several wireless data technologies available today. Why should I choose Mobitex?
Mobitex is a proven technology used for mission critical applications. There are many business users that need to be absolutely sure that they can rely on the communication to work at all times. For these users, the network must always be available. There should be no risk of the network being blocked by voice traffic for example during rush hours, at accidents or large events and certainly not during terror attacks or incidents.

During Sept 11 Mobitex was the only network that remained up and running the entire time, in spite of a 60% traffic peak.

Mobitex operators usually present service levels guarantees. For a professional user, however, speed is only one parameter. Equally important are features such as network availability and reliability, latency, security and functionality.

Everybody is talking about broadband communication these days, but Mobitex is a narrowband technology. Will its speed be sufficient?
Yes, in most cases. Very few professional applications need broadband communication. The data transmitted is usually short and intermittent. Mobitex has a very effective radio protocol. Because of this it only takes a few seconds, typically between 3-8 seconds, to perform a credit-card transaction, send a vehicle position or send a message reply. Mobitex users can send and receive messages instantly since there is no need to log in, dial-up or activate a transaction . For services such as large file transfers, multimedia, full web browsing and color screen games, Mobitex is less suitable.

Who supplies Mobitex infrastructure?
Mobitex Technology is the sole supplier of infrastructure equipment but with an open specification, there are numerous retailers supplying applications, middleware, modems and terminals.
