Compelson SyncML Server is a remote synchronization solution for mobile devices. Currently it supports synchronization of contacts (phonebook), events (calendar), tasks, and notes – the PIM features most commonly found in today’s mobile phones and personal digital assistants.
Over-the-air synchronization avoids the need for a cable, IR, or Bluetooth connection, which is vital to any local synchronization solution. In addition to the SyncML protocol support itself, mobile devices are only required to have a working Internet connection, such as GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE, UMTS, etc. Users don’t have to install specialized software on their machines since a web browser is all they need to access their data stored on the server. Advantages of web-based access naturally include platform independence and simple centralized management. With the recent Internet ubiquity, data can be accessed almost instantly from virtually any place at any time. Losing one’s mobile phone while traveling should no longer be a catastrophe. Visiting an Internet café is all it takes to access its latest content. Furthermore, loading all the contacts and meetings to a new phone is just a matter of a few clicks.
