The first version of the BuZZone system for wireless communication is released

Exion Systems (http://www.buzzone.net) has announced the release of the first version of the Bluetooth-based system for wireless communication. The system is called BuZZone, meaning literally 'the area for communicating'. The essence of it is rather simple. Any owner of a PDA or a laptop, which is equipped with a Bluetooth transmitter can use the system and search for other users in the range of 10-50 meters. They can browse the person's profile (name, photo, etc.) and exchange text or voice messages with him/her. The system can be used on conferences, in cafes, planes, buses, and any other place with many people. Meanwhile, the devices may not necessarily be in direct view. Moreover, you need no cables or any other additional devices. The only thing you need is a mobile device with the Bluetooth and BuZZone systems set on it.

(PRWEB) December 26, 2003 --There is a widespread opinion that the more time people spend with their computers, the less interested they become in other people and contacts with them. In fact, it is a mere stereotype. As a proof of this, there appeared a system, which makes it possible to considerably multiply the circle of non-virtual acquaintance.

Exion Systems (http://www.buzzone.net) has announced the release of the first version of the Bluetooth-based system for wireless communication. The system is called BuZZone, meaning literally 'the area for communicating'. The essence of it is rather simple. Any owner of a PDA or a laptop, which is equipped with a Bluetooth transmitter can use the system and search for other users in the range of 10-50 meters. They can browse the person's profile (name, photo, etc.) and exchange text or voice messages with him/her.

Moreover, you need no cables or any other additional devices. The only thing you need is a mobile device with the Bluetooth and BuZZone systems set on it.

As far as technical characteristics are concerned, they allow very different groups of customers to use the system, as it supports the most widespread operating systems used in laptops, namely Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, as well as the most popular PDA operating systems like Windows CE and Windows Mobile. The work with Bluetooth is based on the WIDCOMM software. This software is used for most PDA's with built-in Bluetooth transmitters, as well as for USB, CF Card and PCMCIA Bluetooth modules.
Thus, the BuZZone system can be used with practically any kind of a PDA and laptop.

In October 2003, it will be recalled, a demo version of BuZZone was released. Since then, the system has acquired all the necessary features of a saleable product, namely installation program, illegal coping protection, help system and localization to Russian and English. The developers also speak of increased safety and work speed and some bugs being eliminated.

Another important difference from the demo-version is the fact that the system has become available for users. On the BuZZone web-site, you can download a limited version of the BuZZone software for free or a full-blown version for any of the supported operating systems for a small price. Also, materials to help using the product are presented on the web-site. Users can send to the developers their comments, wishes concerning future versions, and also report on malfunctions of the software.

At present, the company is developing a new version of the BuZZone system, which will considerably enrich the possibilities and areas of application.
