Now IMP Server
The NowIMP Server is an Instant Messaging
and Presence Server that supports both
mobile phones and PC desktop clients.
Users can communicate with each other using
instant messaging technology whether they are
connected on the same Local Area Network, or
connected through mobile wireless technology.
Mobile phone clients are supported through
the NowIMP Server's implementation of the
Open Mobile Alliance (Wireless Village)
Instant Messaging and Presence Services
(IMPS) specification.
The current release of
NowIMP supports the Client Server Protocol
(CSP) versions 1.1 and 1.2, with support for both text and
binary (WBXML) protocol variants. As a
published standard of the Open Mobile Alliance,
many of the new mobile phone models from
major manufacturers include an instant
messaging and presence client that supports
this specification.
PC desktop clients are supported through the
NowIMP Server's implementation of the
XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence
Protocol).
A Windows based desktop client
supporting XMPP is bundled with the NowIMP
Server to enable instant communications. XMPP
is an internet standard, published by the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) in RFC 3920 and
RFC 3921.
The NowIMP Server supports the Presence, Instant
Messaging (IM) and Group features of both
the IMPS and XMPP specifications, in addition to
the fundamental, common and core features of
those specifications.
External connectivity is supported with a built-in e-mail gateway, allowing IM users to send
messages to e-mail recipients, and allowing e-mail users to send messages to IM recipients.
E-mail connectivity provides a simple built-in API for alert management, allowing automated
applications to interface with the Instant Messaging network.
The NowIMP Server is available for both Service Provider and Corporate configurations.
Service provider configurations of the NowIMP Server scale to support large numbers of users, using
similar technology to that implemented by Now Wireless' Now SMS/MMS Gateway and Now WAP
Proxy, which are already deployed by mobile operators worldwide.
Corporate configurations of the NowIMP Server allow organisation of any size to deploy their own
private instant messaging network, with SSL/TLS encryption, to enable employees to interact with each
other across the office or around the world with secure instant messaging technology. The alert
management interface allows corporate applications to quickly disseminate time critical information to
employees.

Now WAP Proxy
The Now WAP Proxy is a powerful WAP Gateway for Browsing and Multimedia Messaging.
The NowWAP Proxy is a WAP Gateway that
is designed to meet the needs of WAP 2 and
Multimedia applications, especially MMS
(Multimedia Messaging Service) and Java
downloads.
Key Features:
-
Supports WAP 2 clients using either
Wireless Profiled HTTP/TCP (W-HTTP
and W-TCP), or the WSP protocol stack.
-
Supports segmentation and re-assembly
(SAR) to provide support for larger object
delivery to MMS (Multimedia Messaging
Service) clients.
-
Acts as an HTTP proxy to provide speed
enhancements for web browsing via a PC
over a GPRS modem or other wireless
connection.
-
Provides full WAP gateway support for
WAP v1.1, v1.2, v1.2.1, v1.3 and v2 WAP
clients.
-
Interfaces with Radius Accounting for
automatic user identification by MSISDN.
The NowWAP Proxy is available in both
standard and secure (WTLS) versions.
To implement WAP Push and MMS
services in conjunction with the Now WAP
Proxy, we recommend the use of the Now
SMS/MMS Gateway. The Now SMS/MMS
Gateway includes a WAP Push Proxy
Gateway (PPG) and an Multimedia Messaging
Service Centre (MMSC) which compliments
the services provided by the Now WAP Proxy.
