BadBlue Provides WISP with Wireless Peer-to-Peer Software
Atlanta GA, March 26, 2001 - Working Resources, Inc., the premier
provider of web-based peer-to-peer technology, today announced a
partnership agreement with WISP Incorporated, a leading wireless
solutions firm, to provide BadBlue technology to WISP customers.
Under the terms of the agreement, WISP will license BadBlue
technology, which will power its new zShare P2P offering.
zShare is a tiny, full-fledged web server that can be utilized for
application serving, P2P file sharing, and data transcoding purposes.
Applicable to a wide range of mobile and wireless applications,
zShare allows browser-based access to Excel spreadsheets and Word
documents as well as conventional files of all types. Its ability to
serve live office data, as well as conventional web applications such
as PHP, enables zShare to address demanding markets such as Sales
Force Automation, Field Service, and Shipping/Logistics. These
applications demand real-time access to data in the field, which can
yield impressive improvements in business processes and better
supply-chain management.
zShare is based upon Working Resources BadBlue Enterprise Edition.
BadBlue is one of the smallest Windows-compatible web servers ever
developed, supporting advanced features such as P2P searching and
sharing, NT security integration, CLF logging, IP restrictions in a
core server that takes up about 75Kb of disk space. With such a tiny
deployed size, BadBlue can be used in a variety of applications
including mobile, disconnected/semi-connected, P2P, and a variety of
vertical markets.
Percy Bhathena, Chief Executive Officer of WISP, said, "Our
partnership with Working Resources demonstrates our commitment to
offer integrated solutions to our customers who expect productivity
solutions that are powerful, leading-edge, and most importantly, easy
to use. BadBlue provides zShare customers with an extremely simple
way to perform peer-to-peer sharing and to serve data in a platform
built for both wireless and mobile applications. "
"We are pleased that WISP selected BadBlue as a key member of their
wireless offerings," said Brandt Ross, Chief Executive Officer of
Working Resources. "BadBlue capitalizes on its simplicity, small
size, and flexibility giving WISP a distinct advantage in this
competitive market through the delivery of enhanced peer-to-peer file
sharing and similar mobile capabilities. We feel that search-enabled
