Colligo Delivers Immediate, Out-of-Box Messaging & File Transfer
for New HP iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 Series

Colligo’s “instant network” software to provide iPAQ customers with instant, device-to-device messaging and file sharing over embedded WLAN and Bluetooth technology

VANCOUVER, BC, Canada – November 18, 2002 – Colligo Networks, Inc., a provider of ultra-portable collaborative messaging software, announced its Colligo Personal Edition has been selected for the HP iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series - the newest line in the world’s No.1 selling Pocket PC family. Colligo Personal Edition provides instant file exchange and private messaging directly between mobile professionals using their WLAN or Bluetooth iPAQ Pocket PCs without the need for central access points, servers, or Internet connections. iPAQ users gain productivity and convenience while reducing the frustration normally associated with alternative communication methods such as finding an Internet connection, one-to-one infrared beaming, or waiting to send email later.

Building on the momentum of previous mobile device-related partnerships, Colligo continues to find adoption of its innovative “instant network” solutions with popular vendors looking to provide immediate, out-of-box use and application for their short-range wireless capabilities. Colligo provides easy-to-use, lightweight collaborative messaging solutions constructed around a patent-pending core of dynamic discovery of nearby people and resources. This means servers and corporate networks aren’t required for users to instantly and easily communicate and exchange information with those around them. Colligo Personal Edition is a must-have utility for individuals looking to quickly and easily exchange files and privately message each other. Workgroup Edition, also highlighted through HP joint marketing and sales promotions with Colligo, is a unique productivity tool for workgroups on the go that need to securely communicate, exchange information, share resources, and synchronize databases (e.g. Lotus Notes) – all without a server.

"Colligo’s ‘instant network’ solutions make sense for wirelessly-enabled mobile devices including HP’s new iPAQ Pocket PC line, the 5400 series,” said Barry Jinks, President and CEO, Colligo Networks. “We’re excited to bring our innovative technology to HP and its iPAQ customers so they too can benefit from instant, easy-to-use messaging and information exchange wherever and whenever.”

“To fully benefit from the wireless technology we embed in our handhelds, our customers require applications that use and leverage these capabilities,” said Cindy Box, Director of Marketing for Smart Handhelds, HP. "Colligo offers our iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series customers instant productivity with ad-hoc messaging and collaboration.”

Colligo Personal Edition is for any mobile professional using a Windows or Pocket PC device that needs to quickly and easily communicate or work with somebody nearby including when running into a co-worker in the hall or coming together in a meeting room. No need to send emails later or disrupt the flow of a meeting. Colligo Workgroup Edition enhances workgroup productivity and offers SSL-based data encryption, user authentication, folder and printer sharing, and increases the maximum number of users to 50. It’s for workgroups on the go such as project, consultant, or sales teams that need to be more productive together without the hassle and time normally needed for IT departments to provide remote office connections or to build “mini-LANs” in the field. With either product, iPAQ users can communicate with other iPAQs, desktops, notebooks, and tablet PCs running the Colligo client.
