friendlyway and HP - mutual developments in the area of wLAN Public systems solutions planned

Munich, Germany (ots)

Today, friendlyway Europe and HP Germany
signed an agreement covering planned mutual developments in the area
of wLAN integration in public systems. The aim of this development
partnership is to link POI technologies developed on the basis of
friendlyway with HP wLAN components.
In future, these mutual solutions will allow public customers to
call up information on the friendlyway AG Point of Information
systems and download this to their mobile computer using the HP
solution. Examples of concrete locations for these systems are trade
fairs or airports and railway stations (so-called Hot Spots). At
these new information stations the new technology will enable
visitors to obtain all sorts of information such as train or bus
timetables.
"This mutual initiative with Hewlett-Packard is an important step
for us in expanding, friendlyway's position as the leading market
innovator in the public information industry," says Klaus Trox, CEO
and co-founder of friendlyway AG.
About the company (http://www.friendlyway.de)
friendlyway has concentrated on the interface between the two mega
trends "online/offline" and "mobile/stationary". In the mega trend
"online/offline" banks and commercial customers will bring eCommerce
into the traditional branch offices. In the other mega trend
"mobile/stationary" it will be possible to control and call up these
eCommerce services from mobile terminals. For instance, customers
will download product information on to their mobile computers and
take it home with them. For this purpose friendlyway develops
technological solutions and markets these via the friendlyway partner
network throughout the whole of Europe and Asia and also in the US
via its own subsidiary, friendlyway Inc. in San Francisco.
Because of this positioning, in spring this year "Netinvestor"
magazine voted friendlyway as one of the most innovative companies in
Germany. Within just 24 months friendlyway was able to improve its
market position from number 13 to number 2 (see i-Business August
edition 2001, published by Hightext Verlag). Just last year
friendlyway won the highly respected StartUp competition organised by
McKinsey, the German Savings Banks and Stern magazine and took second
place among 1300 competitors from throughout Germany.
