Activator

The Extransit Activator Server manifests the following four – tightly integrated – functions; service management, client provisioning, client wake-up and SMS installation.

Service management

Central management of Mobile Express services, keeps track of which services that are available from specific authors, and targeted to specific user groups. Automatic client configuration so that each installation gets a resident “unique” identifier.

Client provisioning

Maintains a mobile download web page and “manufactures” personalized application files (such as JAR and JAD) on demand, embedding any selection of files.

Client wake-up

Remote controlled “wake-up” of remote applications, web pages or video streams. The server maintains track of in which state remote mobile applications are and automatically selects the quickest or most cost-efficient wake-up method; applications can be switched off and activated via SMS, or reside in a “sleeping mode” and be instantly activated via the network,

SMS based installation

One key to successful mobile services is to make is as easy as possible for the user to download, install and get going with the application. The SMS based installer lets the user send an SMS to a pre-defined number and get a personalized application in return. The activator server maintains binding to the phone number, so each application is “known” when started, thus eliminating the tedious work of entering user details on the phone.
