Customer Highlights

 

 

 

Travel & Transportation
 

RATP, the Paris Mass Transit Authority is deploying Wi-Fi connectivity inside its subway stations as well as at the bus stops. Inside the RATP stations, the Appear Server can efficiently manage mobile enterprise applications related to traffic information, security and maintenance. Onboard RATP buses, the Appear Proxy can dynamically push services depending on the actual location of the bus in the city.
 

 

Public Sector

The Nordrhein-Westfalen Region has deployed the first context-aware services pilot over Wi-Fi for public users and employees. Using the Appear Server and Appear Positioning Engine together with WLAN-enabled PDAs, visitors can view an interactive location-based multimedia tour of the Zeche Zollverein museum, and employees can access video cameras and customer information applications.
 

 

Leisure & Hospitality

France Télécom has created a value-added service offering dedicated to hospitality-related Wi-Fi hotspots (conference centers, museums, sports arenas, entertainment parks). The PilotExpo Wi-Fi offering, powered by the Appear Server, enables visitors and event organizers to leverage the benefits of interactive, location-based services over Wi-Fi networks.

Technology and Partner Update

 

New release of the Appear Server: APS 4.4.1 is now available
APS Server 4.4.1 delivers cutting-edge features such as the capability of feeding context parameters directly into applications. For example,
a train maintenance worker will be able to activate a station map which displays both his current and target location. This map will evolve as he moves through the station, easily guiding him to his destination.  Thus, context parameters are not only used to present the right applications to the users, but also to dynamically modify the applications’ behaviour.
 

Appear Networks sets up demo centers in EMEA and North America with Capgemini and Cisco
Cisco and Capgemini are setting up Appear technology demo rooms throughout Europe. Capgemini's offices in Utrecht and Düsseldorf now feature the latest demonstration servers from Appear Networks, allowing them to demonstrate context-aware Wi-Fi services for public and enterprise use. Cisco's exclusive Executive Briefing Centre in Bedfont Lakes, UK as well as Cisco's San Jose office in the US, are also equipped with the latest Appear Networks technology.
