September 16, 1996
Companies to explore development of specialized software applications for the Nokia 9000 Communicator
Nokia, the Europe’s largest manufacturer of mobile phones, and Data Critical, a leader in the development of critical information software applications, today announced they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the development of wireless data software applications for the Nokia 9000 Communicator.
The Nokia 9000 Communicator, recently introduced in major GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) markets in Europe and Asia, combines digital voice and data services and personal organizer functions into a single, small-sized and easy to use unit. In addition to voice calls, the communicator enables users to send and receive faxes, email and short messages as well as access Internet services and corporate and public databases. Other third party data applications, such as those developed by Data Critical, can be easily integrated into the Nokia 9000 Communicator making the product a customized communications tool.
- The Nokia 9000 is the Swiss Army knife of intelligent Communicators incorporating voice, data, fax and the Internet in single flexible device, said Jeff Brown, CEO and President of Data Critical Corporation.
Data Critical’s current product line includes a system that uses their patented Data-Through-Paging™(DTP) technology to send critical health information over a wireless network including ECG, critical patient and fetal monitoring information and other medical data to remote physicians, transmitting mug shots and APB information to law enforcement officials, sending security-camera images from industrial facilities to security offices and dispatching of delivery and other fleet vehicles.
- Nokia is pleased to be working with a market leader like Data Critical in developing critical information software applications for the Nokia 9000 Communicator, said Andrew Harsch, Marketing Manager for Nokia’s Wireless Data Group. - As a result of this agreement, people such as health care professionals and law enforcement personnel will have immediate access to potentially life-saving information at any time.
Headquartered in Redmond, Wash., Data Critical designs, manufactures and markets cost-effective wireless applications for mobile professionals. The company offers a variety of wireless communication applications, with a focus on saving lives, time and costs.
