According to Jabber, each wireless IM client connects wirelessly to the Jabber XCP server, making them technically interoperable with other IM and presence networks. Additionally, the company says its Jabber XCP IM platform provides mobile devices with access to a wide range of real-time enterprise messaging applications across a broad spectrum of devices and networks. Each wireless client initially offers text-based IM and presence management features, while the RIM client also offers group chat functionality, otherwise known as text conferencing.
Jabber says it also plans to introduce a Wireless Village gateway early in the second quarter of this year. The Wireless Village (Open Mobile Alliance IMPS) protocol is supported by many wireless device manufacturers and operators worldwide. Jabber's Wireless Village gateway will enable the Jabber XCP server to work like a Wireless Village server by allowing connections with Wireless Village-compatible clients. Additionally, in the absence of a complete Wireless Village server-to-server protocol, the gateway will enable connectivity between Wireless Village servers.
Jabber's PocketPC and Smartphone clients are currently available for evaluation, with general release scheduled for April 1st, the company says. The Wireless Village gateway is expected to be released early in the second quarter of this year.
