FT.
LAUDERDALE — Feb. 29, 2000 — MODCOMP®, Inc. (www.modcomp.com),
a subsidiary of CSP Inc. (NASDAQ: CSPI) and a leading developer
of E-commerce and M-business solutions, today announced the
first golf reservation system that allows players to reserve
tee times with a cell phone using a wireless access protocol
(WAP) solution.
The
Golf & Business Club Henri Chapelle of Belgium will use MODCOMP's
new WAP66 Portal Server to allow members and guests to view
available start times and make real-time reservations with a
cell phone or other WAP device. Henri Chapelle will provide
club members with a special access code that makes personal
information like name, address, and handicap permanently available
when using the reservation system.
MODCOMP
will debut the beta version of the reservation system in the
U.S. this week at the Internet & Electronic Commerce Conference
and Exposition in New York.
"Intelligent
solutions like WAP66 enable companies to address the growing
need for WAP-based business and commerce," said Rob Crigler,
vice president marketing, MODCOMP E-commerce Division. "We are
pleased to provide M-business solutions that enhance business
performance and touch the everyday lives of consumers."
"M-business
technology is just beginning to take off, and Europe is leading
the way," said Ed Acly, Director of Middleware and Businessware
Research with International Data Corporation. "We expect to
see tremendous opportunity and growth within this segment of
the industry as WAP-based technology is assimilated into the
mainstream."
Wireless
access protocol is a transport mechanism that enables mobile
devices to communicate with the Internet using a built-in Air-Interface.
MODCOMP's WAP66 Portal Server creates a mobile business (M-business)
environment where users can access the Internet and company
intranets any time from anywhere.
Developed
by MODCOMP's German subsidiary, WAP66 Portal Server is user-friendly
and easily configured software for portal solutions, based completely
on the Java2 technology. WAP66 supports many different systems
including mid-range, mainframe, and UNIX® systems, and may
interact with systems that support ASCII, HTML, XML, as well
as SQL queries or any other ODBC databases that are typically
found in diverse IT environments. WAP66 also supports virtually
all hardware platforms and operating systems, including Linux™,
Solaris™, HP-UX®, AIX®, and Windows NT™.
WAP66
is available from MODCOMP GmbH following a launch at CeBIT in
Hannover, Germany (Feb. 24-Mar. 1). Standard pricing begins
at $5,000.00 plus configuration services and user licensing.
