Wireless Internet, August, 2001

OceanLake announced that Strategic Profits, a publicly traded company through its parent company, Strategic Internet Investments Inc., has signed a multi-year license agreement for OceanLake's mScope wireless-enabling software. Strategic Profits will utilize the mScope software to provide wireless capabilities for all of its customers including, small- and medium-sized enterprises, not-for-profits, and charities.

mScope enables Strategic Profits to effortlessly transform the content of its Web and commerce sites to wireless devices, such as cellular phones and PDAs. Leveraging mScope's open architecture - which allows for easy integration of new media format and presentation types - the Web and e-commerce sites are transformed, on-the-fly, to Internet markup language (IML) and then changed to a preferred wireless formatting language (e.g., wireless markup language, handheld device markup language). From there, the sites are intelligently delivered to any type of mobile device.

Currently deployed at numerous corporations across the US and Canada, including financial institutions, wireless communications service providers, and travel companies, mScope is dramatically improving the way in which enterprises cater their content to mobile devices. Based on Java and XML, mScope delivers content to any mobile device without having to write device specific content, thereby reducing operating costs and time-to-market. In addition, mScope's open architecture enables any application to be integrated with the software, allowing for non-disruptive integration with existing infrastructures.

By easing wireless implementation and ongoing operations for enterprises, mScope enables corporations to execute their wireless strategies quickly and cost-effectively. According to Forrester Research, by 2005 more than 111 million consumers in the US will access the mobile Internet at least once monthly, and mobile revenues in the US will grow to $101 billion.
