ARDIS Packaging Complete Wireless Data Solution

Recognizing the importance of providing complete solutions to customers, ARDIS also is packaging a shrink-wrapped system enabling people to get up and running with wireless data hassle-free from their laptop computers. The hardware and software solution, together with wireless service and support, is anchored by an ARDIS-branded wireless PC Card modem manufactured by IBM. The modem, which is essentially IBM’s Wireless Modem, will be labelled and resold by ARDIS as part of the package.

By using the ARDIS AirMobile system, mobile workers can send and receive electronic mail, in addition to accessing host-based applications and databases residing on mainframe and mini-computers. More importantly, by bundling a complete solution, ARDIS has made it easier for resellers and users alike by offering a single source for all wireless-related service and support needs. The Air Modem solution consists of the following:

• ARDIS Air Modem—A PCMCIA Type II modem with a tethered radio frequency transceiver.
• ARTour—Mobile communication software, developed by IBM, that permits wireless connectivity to 327X and 525X client/host applications.
• ARDIS Air time—A selection from four rate pricing packages, varying in the data volume requirements of users, over the ARDIS nationwide network.
• Service and Support—One-stop support for every component within the solution.
• AirMobile Wireless Software for cc:Mail Mobile and Lotus cc:Mail Mobile for Windows—This allows cc:Mail Mobile users to send and receive wireless messages.

The ARDIS Air Modem package is available immediately from ARDIS and its authorized resellers. Pricing depends on the wireless service plan selected, with prices starting under $400.
