ExpressQ

ExpressQ is a client-server software product that overcomes issues related to occasionally-disconnected wireless environments and enables organizations to extend important enterprise information to mobile users.

It does this by using store-and-forward messaging (message queuing) and database synchronization over a variety of wireless networks, allowing users to remain productive in the face of coverage gaps, broken connections and network congestion. Wireless messages are temporarily stored for out-of-coverage users and then forwarded when users return to in-coverage areas. At the same time ExpressQ supports real-time interactive communication when both sides are connected.

ExpressQ is deployed by some of the world’s leading companies across a variety of industries, including Boeing, Pepsi, Bell South, Schindler, British Gas, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and London Ambulance.

Asynchronous Access

Features
  • Message Queuing - ensuring guaranteed message delivery as users go in and out of wireless network coverage.
  • Message Filtering and Prioritization - ExpressQ enables the application to control which data is sent over which network, which messages are priority and can also set client-specific size filters to minimize communication costs and maximize performance.
  • Network Switching – ExpressQ manages multiple network connections for the device, automatically establishing connections when needed and automatically switching between networks according to customer rules.
  • Multiple Simultaneous Networks - Ability to be connected to more than one network simultaneously, data can be sent down either network depending on profiles and rules. This allows for instances such as sending highly secure data down a secure channel whilst at the same time sending unrestricted data over a high speed public network.
  • Session Persistence through coverage gaps, network switches, voice call interruptions, disconnects/re-connects and changing IP addresses.
  • Optimized Transport – built-in compression and wireless-optimized transport enable ExpressQ to reduce costs, increase performance and battery life and improve user experience.
  • Security and Authentication – ExpressQ provides optional wireless-optimized AES encryption and LDAP-based user authentication, enabling highly-secure communication between the mobile client and server. ExpressQ is FIPS 140-2 compliant.
