A Global Wireless Messaging Association

Recently the Wireless Messaging Association (WMA) of the UK and the European Mobile Messaging Association (EMMA) joined forces. For the immediate future we decided to keep the name and brand of EMMA. This was discussed and finalised at our October conference in Helsinki. The new EMMA will start operations on 1st January 2006.

The conference was attended by colleagues from the US and Australia as well as Europe. It soon became apparent that paging companies and their suppliers from all over the world are facing very similar challenges and that there is a need for a more global association to represent our interests.

Our Mission and Goals, as set out below, has identified several important short term objectives.

1. Dveleop a new website for members to use, alongside their own, as an aid to informing potential clients. This site will have links to all EMMA members and other associated bodies. It will also be an up-to-date source of information for members.
2. Produce a white paper for the industry to use for lobbying the authorities in order to promote paging for alerting the public in times of crisis.
3. Develop a central directory of members and the products and services that they provide.
4. Compose a list of countries where paging is operating.

The companies who have already committed to joining the new EMMA are:

The above represents operators, equipment manufacturers, equipment maintainers, consultancies, and value added service providers.

If your company is in the paging business anywhere in the world, or if you are a supplier to the industry, we urge you to join EMMA. Not only will it give you immediate access to potential customers and suppliers, it will also make us all much stronger and we will strive to have a coherent industry voice that will demand recognition.

EMMA has also committed to providing two meetings every year, a round table and an annual conference, so we will be able to share our experiences and innovations within the industry.

EMMA will be a not for profit organisation based in the UK but it will have a professional chair and secretariat. The subscription for 2006 will be €3,500 and any financial surplus will be used for development of services to its members or to reduce the membership subscription for the following year.

Paging and Emergency Preparedness

Northeast Paging and State of Maine Team Up to Provide Critical Information to Maine’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing

Westbrook, ME. Nov. 14, 2005—Today, NEP, LLC d/b/a Northeast Paging and UCOM Paging announced a new collaborative effort with the State of Maine’s Emergency Management Agency (MEMA).  The “Emergency Notification System” (ENS) provides its deaf and hard-of-hearing residents with emergency information. The ENS sends written versions of Emergency Alert System (EAS) notices and county-specific alerts to participating deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals via email and other means. Participants may use their own pagers or other email compatible devices to receive alerts. MEMA began offering this free or reduced cost service earlier in 2005 to its 120,000 deaf and hard of hearing individuals.

An article appearing recently in the Portland Press Herald describes how the program has made a significant difference for deaf Mainers.

. . . Jan DeVinney of South Portland, who is deaf, showed up for work during the ice storm of 1998 because she didn't know that her office was closed. But times have changed. When a recent malfunction shut down the southbound lane of the Casco Bay Bridge while DeVinney was headed that way, a text message on her pager notified her and she took a different route home.

Deaf Mainers say they often are the last to know what is going on when disaster strikes or the weather turns ugly. Now, help has arrived. Gov. John Baldacci introduced a notification system Friday that uses pagers and special radios to keep deaf and hard-of-hearing Mainers informed in emergencies. 

Northeast Paging, a regional paging carrier, was contacted by MEMA early during the development of this program in order to provide logistical support and paging service. 

The state of Maine has vast regions of rural, sparsely populated and hilly terrain, making it difficult territory for effective communications.  Ginnie Ricker, Project Manager of the project for MEMA said “We have found that providing pager equipment is less expensive than other type equipment and covers areas within Maine that may not be serviced by others. Pagers also provide an ease of use and knowledge than other type equipment. With the help of Northeast Paging we have been successful in providing notifications to our Deaf and Hard of Hearing community and are top in the nation.”

Adds Alan Carle, Director of Engineering at NE, LLC “MEMA has developed a robust, reliable and expedient system by integrating traditional one way paging into their design.  Paging’s wide coverage area, building penetration, ease of use and speed make it a natural for the dispersion of critical information to large groups of people.  We’re pleased to be able to help!”

A partial list of the types of information sent to these pagers include: Tornado Warning; Flash Flood Warning; Severe Thunderstorm Warning; Special Marine Warning; Civil Emergency Message; Child Abduction Emergency; Food Safety; Power Outages; State Shutdown; Road Closures; Accidents

The cooperation of Northeast Paging and MEMA on this important project typifies how corporate and government agencies can come together to produce a service that many in the community can utilize.

Paging Enterprise Customers . . .

November 10, 2005
By Colin C. Haley

Pagers have given way to smart phones, SMS and wireless e-mail devices, but plenty of businesses and government agencies still rely on them to deliver urgent messages. Cingular Wireless wants that to change that.

The carrier just launched its Enterprise Paging gateway, built from the ground up. The service uses phones' existing text messaging capability so there's no software to download.

It's available through all of Cingular's text-capable handsets and wireless handhelds and features a long message format that allows up to 456 characters, delivery receipts and two-way messaging.

The service works in the United States and in more than 170 other countries and is built on industry standards, including the Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP) and Wireless Communications Transfer Protocol (WCTP).

In addition, Enterprise Paging integrates with enterprise applications such as IT help desk, Customer Relationship Management (define) and automated notification systems.

Michael Woodward, Cingular's executive director of mobile professional solutions, said there are prospective customers for the service in all vertical industries.

The top segments for enterprise paging are expected to be IT operations and support, mobile sales forces, mobile field support, dispatch, health care and disaster recovery, he said.

Cingular will charge $9.99 a month per user for unlimited incoming messages and 10 cents per reply.

The Atlanta-based carrier, which is jointly owned by regional telecoms BellSouth (Quote, Chart)and SBC (Quote, Chart), said its bulk provisioning technology can activate the service for thousands of corporate users at once.

It's Cingular's second move this month to woo business users. Earlier it announced an addition to its BlackBerry lineup.

MCI's SkyTel Unplugs Lexington, Kentucky, With New Wi-Fi Service

Businesses, Residents and Visitors to Benefit from High-Speed Wireless Internet

CLINTON, Miss. and LEXINGTON, Ky., November 16, 2005 - MCI, Inc.'s (NASDAQ: MCIP) SkyTel unit today introduced UnpluggedCity^SM wireless broadband services for businesses, residents and visitors in Lexington, Kentucky, as part of a SkyTel pilot program to test Wi-Fi service in various markets. Under a cooperative agreement with the city, SkyTel has designed and built a Wi-Fi "hot zone" that it will own and manage to immediately deliver this innovative new service in Lexington's downtown area.

"People are increasingly looking for new ways to stay connected," said Bruce Deer, SkyTel president. "UnpluggedCity combines SkyTel's expertise delivering wireless mobility products with MCI's IP network to offer advanced, easy-to-use Internet connectivity to Lexington's downtown community."

"Wi-Fi is a cutting edge technology that will make Lexington even more attractive to young professionals and potential employers," said Lexington Mayor Teresa Ann Isaac.

UnpluggedCity offerings, available by visiting www.unpluggedcity.com or by calling 1-800-815-9544, include pay-as-you-go service to longer term contracts for businesses and residents.

UnpluggedCity Enterprise—with monthly rates at $575 (plus $999 installation)—meets the larger bandwidth demands of businesses as an alternative or backup to T1 service, with speeds of up to 6 Mb per second.

UnpluggedCity Residential Wireless Broadband provides in-home Internet service at $24.99 a month and UnpluggedCity Small Business Wireless Broadband has a monthly rate of $69.99 a month. Both of these services provide Internet access speeds of up to 3 Mb per second (twice as fast as standard DSL service and approximately 75 times faster than standard dial-up) with purchase of a "modem" to relay Wi-Fi signals into homes and business structures. SkyTel is offering attractive discounts on these services and modems for a limited time.

Unplugged Traveler offers instant broadband access to visitors with Wi-Fi-enabled laptops or handhelds from locations within the UnpluggedCity network for $5.99 an hour, $9.99 a day and $24.99 a month.

Lexington is the first market where SkyTel is rolling out commercial Wi-Fi service. SkyTel's expertise operating wireless data networks for both business as usual and "business unusual" make it ideally suited to offer this innovative new service throughout downtown Lexington.

Teletouch Reports Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2005

2005-11-14
Business Wire

Teletouch Communications, Inc. (AMEX:TLL) announced today that it has reported its audited financial information relating to results for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005. The Company also reported that it filed an amended 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004, that also included amended and restated Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2002 and 2003, and Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 31, 2002.

Total revenues for fiscal 2005 declined approximately 7.8% to $24.7 million compared with $26.8 million in fiscal 2004. Cash and Cash Equivalents significantly improved to approximately $1.3 million at year-end, from $0.07 million in the comparable 2004 period. In addition to increasing cash, the Company reduced its total debt in fiscal 2005 to $0.0 (zero) short-term debt at the end of fiscal 2005, compared with $0.1 million at the end of fiscal 2004, and long-term debt, including the current portion, to $0.2 million in fiscal 2005, from $0.5 million in fiscal 2004 (a decrease of nearly 65%).

Total Paging revenues for the year declined approximately 17% to $18.6 million for fiscal 2005 compared to $22.5 million for fiscal 2004. Two-way radio service and product sales increased 58% to over $5.5 million in 2005, from approximately $3.5 million through 2004. Total Other service and product sales declined approximately 25% to $0.56 million in fiscal 2005, compared to $0.75 million through the same period in 2004.

Teletouch recorded an operating loss of $3.7 million for fiscal 2005 compared with $166,000 in fiscal 2004. The decline in operating income was primarily due to the steady decline in service revenues from fewer pagers in service against the service provision costs and the continued write-down of related inventories and other assets. Pagers in service declined to 155,600 at 2005 year-end compared with 194,000 at fiscal year-end 2004. The Company recorded a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $3.5 million, or $0.75 per share in fiscal 2005 compared with a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $519,000, or $0.11 per share in fiscal 2004.

Discussing the year-end financial results, Teletouch CEO, T. A. "Kip" Hyde, Jr. stated, "We have had a number of legacy business successes during the 2005 fiscal year, most notably increasing cash and substantial increasing our two-way radio business product sales and services. This was due in large part to the acquisition of Delta Communications last year and the continued availability of Department of Homeland Security funding for the various state and local governmental entities we serve. Plus, we have had some notable successes in commercial two-way radio sales arena, ending with a record year for Teletouch Two-Way."

Hyde continued, "However, we remain disappointed in our ability to grow the Telemetry and GPS Location Based Services business. Although many of our large customer prospects appear promising, closing cycles continue to be unacceptably long. Also, while our outstanding relationship with Guidepoint for faster-closing small-fleet sales is just now beginning to bear fruit, frankly, it is not likely to have a meaningful impact on overall profitability for the foreseeable future, and our ability to grow internally is severely diminished."

"As a result, the Company is today principally focused on completing a fundamental corporate reorganization designed to reduce operating overhead and rebuild the Company through more cost-effective internal growth and acquisitions. The first step towards this goal includes completing the previously announced sale of the paging business, and evaluating a potential sale of the two-way radio business. While these actions are and will be subject to shareholder approval, we are hopeful of a positive outcome, as the successful conclusion of these events will then allow Teletouch to better concentrate on new, higher growth opportunities."

Hyde concluded, "Having recently filed our Annual Reports on Forms 10-K for fiscal 2005 and 10-K/A for fiscal 2004, we plan to file our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2005, in the near future. In accordance with our previously submitted and approved plan to regain compliance with the AMEX listing requirements (no later than November 28, 2005), these actions will likely result in the Company's regaining reporting compliance with both the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") continued listing and SEC public reporting requirements. We will then be in a position to file our preliminary proxy with the SEC related to a special shareholders meeting to address and allow shareholders to vote on the sale of the paging business assets and other matters, all of which we expect to complete before year end."

Subject: Web Message. Emergency Paging Service and future of public paging.
Date: November 17, 2005 9:16:13 PM CST
To: brad@braddye.com

Dear Brad,

I am writing to you because of very passionate articles on your web site. Paging industry is in crises now. The total number of subscribers is dropping down, it is a common opinions that pager is obsolete. But this can be changed. There are some areas of public service where old buddy pager is still the best and there is something new coming to paging industry. Today’s biggest and the most important mission is the national early warning system.

I agree with you that a very good warning system can be created on the base of existing public paging net. The unbeatable advantage of paging-based alert system is a very low cost of implementation (this may be a problem with bureaucrats – they always prefer big projects) and short implementation time. Since the nation-wide paging delivering net already exists, all the government has to do is to make an appropriate agreement with the paging providers and reserve emergency capcodes for every paging frequency in the area. Then they have to make the information about these capcodes publicly available. Done. All the existing paging subscribers have to do is to switch one of the pager’s capcodes to the emergency one. It could be a really public emergency system available to anybody. Anyone can buy a pager (they are very inexpensive now) and program the capcode; there is no need for paging service subscription.

Everything is great but there are two serious problems with this idea. The first one is the inadequate reliability of one-way transmission (even 99% is not good for the life-threatening situation). Everybody who has been working with pagers for a long time knows that any pager can loose a message, especially in industrial and urban environment. There is a very good solution that increases the reliability of a one-way communication system dramatically. By some mystique reason it was not incorporated into existing paging protocols (not at my knowledge, at least). I am talking about Message ID – a sequential number added to every important message. By checking the list of received messages any user could get assurance that every important message is received (of course, there should be a plan what to do in case a message is lost). Normally, a reliable one-way communication system sends a “beacon” periodically. Beacon is an empty message that has only the Message ID of the last important message. Properly designed pager could automatically check the beacons and warn the user immediately in case a message is lost or connection is lost. What kind of workaround can be done in the existing situation? Adding sequential number to the text of the message is not a problem at all. Sending beacons with the same capcode as the message itself can create annoying problem for the users of old-style pager. The solution may be to use a pair of capcodes: one – for the messages and another for the beacons. By the way, using Message ID and beacons creates also some protection against hoaxes.

The other problem is the small number of existing paging subscribers. Sure, existing public paging service is the cheapest and the fastest way to broadcast warning messages, but how we persuade people to get pagers? The answer is the incorporation of public warning procedure into the home warning system. It is clear that very soon the most of home automation and security systems will come to some common standard (I personally believe it will be ZigBee). It is just common sense that the same human interface should be used to warn about all dangerous situation: fire, burglary, water contamination, hurricane or tornado. Very simple and inexpensive POCSAG/FLEX receiver (http://www.twpwireless.com/POCSAG_Receiver.htm) can be used to receive warning messages and convert them into appropriate home security format. Since this receiver has a dry contact output it already can be connected to any of existing home security systems or can be used alone. Currently the retail cost of such POCSAG/FLEX receiver is around $50. It will be dropped down to less than $25 with the volume of manufacturing. For users it is a one-time investment (once again, there is no need for subscription to get public warning messages). It is the security for everybody, not for rich people only! Low cost and reliability are the biggest advantages of paging-based warning system.

What this public warning service is for paging providers? Charity? No. A door to a very profitable business. Sounds crazy, but let me explain my point. There are so many areas of application that can be done and should be done by paging industry, that we can spend days talking about the ideas. Combination with modern technologies creates lots of opportunities. The biggest obstacle so far is the undetermined future of public paging industry. We need assurance that the paging net will not disappear in close future. The agreement with government for providing the public warning service will create such assurance. Then, when we have the assurance, we can talk about all other applications. Public paging service is the best way to deliver all sorts of broadcast messages (messages that senders, not users pay for). It can be used by local authorities to deliver all sorts of warning and information messages: road closures, water service interrupts and similar. It is the cheapest way to deliver information to smart meters and other dispersed equipment. It is also a very inexpensive channel to remotely control home automation devices. Paging providers themselves can enlarge the number of users by delivering (during transmission idle time) free information about local weather and traffic. Going this way they can convince people to carry a pager or have a pager receiver at home. This will consequently increase the number of regular subscribers.

Implementing broadcasting service does not require any changes in the system hardware. Everything can be done at very low cost by implementing some special format of message text. It is easy to prevent Spam and security problems at these early stages of creating new standard.

Frankly speaking, I do not understand the position of paging service providers. Why they are not doing any visible attempts to win this contract? The launching of such system could be a very good advertisement to the paging industry; a government contract could create a stable source of income. They control the message delivery net that is ready be used for public warnings. It does not cost a lot to prepare the detailed description of the warning system solution. Why they don’t make this information publicly available? Why people have to wait for 2 years to get SMS disaster alert if they can get a very good system in the matter of days? Regular people simply don’t know that they can be protected much sooner.

Let me also talk about our achievements. TWP Wireless has developed a two-way pager for on-site applications. It is not a ReFLEX clone. 2.4 GHz ISM technology compatible with the ZigBee standard has lots of advantages: very low consumption power (battery lasts for a half a year), high baud rate, no need for FCC approval and many others. We have also created some devices that are most popular in local messaging applications – alarm unit, power control unit and others. It looks like our system is the first low-cost two-way on-site messaging system that does not have restrictions in the covered area and has compatibility with modern devices from other manufacturers.

It would be very nice to know your opinion about the warning messaging system and about our products. We also need some help. TWP Wireless is a very young company with lots of ideas. We have great experience in the development area but, apparently, we do not have enough experience and connections with dealers to accelerate the distribution of our products. Do you know somebody who can help us in this area? Or may be you can help? We are ready to consider any form of cooperation.

Thank you for your time.

Survey sees rise in instant messaging usage

Broadcast News

Friday, November 11, 2005

DULLES, VA—Internet messaging has taken over the desktop.

A survey from America Online shows instant messaging is up 19 per cent year over year.

In fact, many Americans send as many—if not more—IMs than they do e-mails.

The survey also shows at-work and mobile messaging have become common.

A growing number of at-work IM users say they now use instant messaging to get answers, make business decisions, and even to interact with clients or customers.

Some geographic areas are more in tune with instant messaging than others.

The survey finds the heaviest use in Miami, New York, Boston, Chicago and Atlanta.

Paging Seminar Specially designed course for sales, marketing, and administration personnel. Engineers will only be admitted with a note signed by their mothers, promising that they will just listen and not disrupt the class. (This is supposed to be funny!) This is a one-day training course on Paging that can be conducted at your place of business. Please take a look at the course outline to see if you think this might be beneficial in your employees: Paging Seminar outline. I would be happy to customize the content to meet your specific requirements. Although it touches on several "technical" topics, it is definitely not a technical course. I used to teach the sales and marketing people at Motorola Paging and they appreciated an atmosphere where they could ask technical questions without being made to feel like a dummy and without getting a long convoluted overly-technical answer that left them more confused than before. A good learning environment is one that is non-threatening. Let me know if you would like to receive a quotation, or if you would like to have any additional information.

Cisco Supports Citywide Wireless Mesh

By Susan Rush
November 15, 2005

Cisco Systems is unveiling a new line of access points designed to support metropolitan Wi-Fi deployments. The networking giant is teaming with HP and IBM to produce its new outdoor mesh products.

The Cisco Aironet 1500 Series is ideal for municipal Wi-Fi deployments, according to Cisco, because the access points can be deployed on rooftops, light posts and power poles. The 1500 Series is designed to self-heal if the power goes down and makes use of two radios to maximize data throughput. One radio makes use to access-point-to-access-point (AP-to-AP) communications, while the second radio provides available bandwidth to users.

Cisco already has announced several Wi-Fi contract wins, including deals in Dayton, Ohio, and Lebanon, Ore.

The company's entry into the market came as no surprise to its competitors in the space. "Cisco's entry into the mesh space was expected," says Bernard Herscovich, CEO and co-founder of BelAir Networks. "This is a reflection of the explosive growth in the wireless mesh market," he says.

Separately, Cisco announced the Cisco United Wireless Network strategy, which is designed to give enterprise, public sector and commercial technology executives the ability to implement a complete wired and wireless network deployment, according to the company. The strategy includes the newly introduced Cisco Wireless Service Module (WiSM) for the Catalyst 6500 Series and the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Module for the integrated services router (ISR) product line.

Cisco contends the Cisco Unified Wireless Network offers security, scalability and resiliency.
