RTS Networks Releases Route WAP: An Interactive Routing and Mapping Solution For Wireless Technologies
Wednesday, March 1, 2000 - New Orleans, Louisiana. RTS Networks began demonstrating Route WAP, a wireless solution that serves interactive routing and directions to end users using WAP enabled devices. Based on RTS Networks existing Outlook Bridge for WAP, ESRI's Route Map IMS technology, and Microsoft Exchange Server, Route WAP is designed to solve the needs of users that need access to directions and contact information when access to a traditional computing device like a desktop computer is not practical. Route WAP is an ideal solution for sales staff, customer support personnel, and delivery persons that need access to customer locations while in vehicles and traveling in the field.

Charlie Macgruder, product manager for ESRI's Route Map IMS product, commented on Route WAP as a significant implementation for maps and geographic information systems technology. "By combining our ESRI routing and mapping capabilities so that it can be easily accessed via phone, RTS Networks is addressing the real world problems faced by consumers and business people trying to find easier ways to deal with their ever increasing complex lives. We are excited to have RTS Networks as a business partner and enjoy working with them as they advance GIS technology to digital phones and other technologies."

Route WAP provides easy to use features that let users select contact and address information from an intuitive menu system and then generates turn by turn driving directions to a destination point which is then displayed on a WAP device. Because Route WAP is integrated into RTS Networks Outlook Bridge users can select from previously defined contact information that is stored on a Microsoft Exchange Server simplifying the data entry process, often a challenge for WAP enabled applications.

Route WAP is ideal for delivery and sales staff that spend time traveling and visiting numerous customer sites. Because Route WAP taps into a core business application, Microsoft Outlook, used by thousands of medium to large scale business, the installation of this tool for use will require little customization.

RTS Networks USA is a wholly owned subsidiary of RTS NetWorks Group PLC, a London based Internet technology and consulting group. RTS NetWorks PLC is traded on the AIM exchange in London as RTN. The RTS NetWorks Group maintains offices in the UK, Finland , France and the United States. The goal of RTS NetWorks is to become the leading international producer of complete Internet, intranet, and extranet solutions by the end of 2001.
