NotePage, Inc. Wins International Software Awards

NotePage, Inc., a Hanover, Mass. software company that develops wireless messaging solutions, recently won two international awards for their flagship product, PageGate. PageGate won the Best Vertical Market Application award at the ninth annual Shareware Industry Conference. The winners of the Shareware Industry Awards are selected by a group of industry professionals and reviewers that nominate and vote based upon a program's merits. In addition, NotePage's PageGate won the People's Choice award for Best Vertical Market Application. The People's Choice Awards are voted on by consumers on the three largest Internet download sites: ZD.net, C-Net.com, and Tucows.com. This is the first time that wireless messaging software has been recognized in these international awards.

PageGate version 3 is a network paging application that makes it easy to use your PC to communicate with alphanumeric and numeric pagers, PCS and digital phones, PCMCIA pager cards, billboards, and other wireless messaging devices. PageGate supports an unlimited number of pagers and service providers, and may be run on a file server or web server, or on a separate workstation or server. For high volume applications, up to 16 dialers may be installed and used simultaneously.

PageGate supports four powerful front-end interfaces, allowing users to purchase only those modules that are useful, and to expand their system as their needs change. These front-end gateways may be used individually or in conjunction with each other, allowing PageGate to receive and process simultaneous messages from multiple sources. PageGate's proprietary GUI Interface allows Windows 95/98/NT4/2000 users to contact pagers from any Windows workstation. PageGate's E-mail Interface allows e-mails to be received on alphanumeric pagers, or e-mail notifications to be received on numeric pagers. PageGate's Web Interface processes messages entered on Internet or intranet web pages, and sends them to any wireless messaging device. PageGate also has a Command Line Interface that lets you send pager messages from any Windows or DOS program. It can be activated by running user-developed custom programs, or simply by writing text messages to a previously defined text file in a designated folder. PageGate supports multiple paging carriers, multiple dialers, direct connections to paging terminals, group paging, scheduled pages, repeating pages, on-call groups, and ad hoc paging, making it ideal for demanding, high-end wireless messaging needs.

System Requirements: PageGate requires Windows 95/98/NT4/2000 running on a Pentium-class processor, 32 Mb of RAM, 50Mb of hard drive space, and a modem.

Pricing and Availability: PageGate version 3 and its four front-end gateways are available immediately. The cost of the PageGate paging engine depends upon the number of pagers supported. Each of the front-end interface modules may be purchased separately. For more information, visit the NotePage web site at http://www.notepage.net.
