Wireless and Portable Ticketing Proven on PDA's

25th February 2002

Working as a partner of Compaq, wireless ticketing has now been made possible using a PDA over the both the mobile phone network and using wireless Ethernet technology.

The Data Factors Internet ticketing software, which allows real-time choice of seats, was demonstrated today running on the Compaq iPaq PDA. It works with both communication over the GSM mobile network and using Ethernet wireless technology.

The slower network speed on the mobile network is compensated for by using simple browser detection technology and for PDA's removing and unnecessary site graphics.

Phil Baldwin, CTO for Data Factors said, "This allows us to provide mobile solutions and temporary ticketing points for one of events. Using industry standard wireless networking, this makes ticketing much more flexible."
