Another Aviation Messaging (AMHS) win for Isode partner Radiocom Inc

Paraguay's new aviation messaging system, supplied by Isode partner Radiocom, has now gone live.

Supplying components for the new Air traffic service Message Handling Systems (AMHS) is something that Isode have developed a specialization in over the last few years. As with many of our markets, we supply components to partners who in turn supply and install the complete solution for the end user, in this case national Aviation Authorities.

Our partners have been doing a fantastic job of winning bids with solutions that include Isode components. Of 38 countries that have so far decided on an AMHS system, 31 have them have bought systems from Isode partners, incorporating Isode components.

Radiocom have had a great many successes in supplying AMHS systems, particularly in South America, where country after country are opting for Radiocom as their preferred supplier. Hopefully we'll be seeing many more AMHS wins like this in the near future.

US Military using XMPP

XMPP is the eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, which is the Internet Standard for Instant Messaging, Real Time Messaging and Presence. On January 16th, the sale of an XMPP client and server solution by jabber.com to the US Marines for 280,000 users was announced.

This large sale ties in with XMPP activity at lead US Military groups such as JFCOM (Joint Forces Command) and SPAWAR (Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command) (more).

XMPP is also now included in US DoD IT Standards Register as Mandatory.

There is a clear trend towards the US military broadly adopting XMPP, which will have impact on Instant Messaging choices being made by other parts of the US Government as well as military organizations worldwide. We believe that this announcement is further confirmation that Isode's own Instant Messaging product development strategy and our choice of XMPP is the right one.

Isode Partner Boldon James wins MMHS contract

Isode Partner Boldon James have announced that they've won a large Military Messaging Handling System (MMHS) contract that includes components from Isode.

Our Military Messaging components are something that we've put a lot of work into and it's nice to be able to semi-publicly acknowledge a sale in a market that is understandably reticent about releasing details of sensitive contracts. Although even with this contract we're not allowed to say which 'European Ministry of Defence' the contract is for.

The details of the contract, which is being delivered via Hewlett Packard can be found on the Boldon James website here.

Our congratulations go to Boldon James, together with our hopes for many more successes of this type.
