NEW ORLEANS , Calif. - Mar. 14, 2005 - Aeris.net (http://www.aeris.net), the leading network provider for wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) communications services, today announced its new web services provisioning and bill management platform for subscriber devices promising faster processing of requests in real time. Aeris.net's new AerFrame Provisioning Services uses the latest Web service technology including SOAP, XML, WSDL, to transmit provision and bill requests over a secure TCP/IP connection. The new platform is the first key feature in Aeris.net's universal network being implemented. It is an enhancement of its existing method of provisioning devices using a batch file system as Aeris receives and processes requests in real time (approximately three seconds) without the need for human intervention. Previously, customers would have to document the devices they wanted to provision in a specific file format and then e-mail it to Aeris, which would then process the file and respond via e-mail again 15 minutes later.

"Aeris is the only cellular operator with a system that enables the subscriber to active a device and immediately have access to the network in real time," said Robert Schoenfield, senior vice president of marketing and business development at Aeris.net. "This new web service will better meet the needs of our customers in reducing their costs through allowing high volume applications to be activated in an automatic process."

Other features and benefits of the AerFrame Provisioning Service include: -- Ability to perform pre-processing error correction (validate error formats against an XML schema) -- Highly reliable, uses redundant servers -- All the benefits of the Web Services, including allowing software applications to be connected together regardless of language, platform or culture -- No additional cost as it is included in Aeris.net's network service pricing plan Aeris.net, the network for the wireless tracking communications industry, provides each client a personalized network of services and applications through its all-inclusive MicroBurst portfolio which promises customers a faster time to market and lower bottom line costs.
