Success Story: Appello
Makewave partner Appello has successfully launched the world’s
first true OSGi on-line navigation solution, dubbed 'Wisepilot',
for in-vehicle systems, mobile phones and PDAs. As they were
looking for dependability and flexibility when choosing OSGi
platform, Knopflerfish was the natural choice. The strength with
an on-line navigation solution is the dynamic content, i.e. you
will always have access to the latest maps and traffic
information.
Wisepilot includes valuable content such as:
- Real-time traffic information
- Speed camera database
- Yellow and white pages
- Restaurant- and hotels guides
Wisepilot also features integration of customer unique content such as:
- Dealer and support stores
- Environmental fuel (E85, Ethanol)
- Toll Systems (avoid tolls, cost to enter toll, etc..)
Continuous adding of extra content and new functions is the
key to user adoption, drive ARPU and sustain high retention
rate. The possibility for easy support by using Knopflerfish
and Ubicore for remote upgrades will keep the cost for
maintenance down and increase customer satisfaction. Just ask
