Why should developers adopt ilogs mobile technology?

o  A new computing paradigm

Enterprise developers are quickly discovering that mobile computing and particularly wireless computing is another new computing paradigm than traditional LAN-based computing,  requiring mobile middleware to effectively connect it with their existing systems and overcome the challenges associated with mobility.

o  Work with Best Practices

ilogs MobIS product was launched in 2003 following an intensive R&D effort. MobIS is a new class of Mobile Middleware platform, built for the mobile world that brings out the best of the exciting new possibilities of next generation mobile computing technology.

Challenges of developing mobile technology

Most applications are optimized exclusively for desktop and LAN clients. They deliver content poorly suited for mobile devices because of the unique challenges in extending enterprise applications into a mobile application including security, scalability, reliability, screen size, processor power, memory, battery life, lower bandwidth, loss of material, and multiple network support due to:

o The wide variety of wireless device and wireless networks (with complex protocols) available.

o The need to communicate with roaming workers who move in and out of coverage, who switch between different devices/networks to meet different needs and who operate in a semi-connected mode.

o Traditional protocols such as TCP/IP do not address narrower bandwidth than the LAN, higher network latencies, fluctuating coverage conditions.
