Continue…Core Business and Technological Focus
Ameranth Wireless???s fundamental value proposition lies in its patented inventions for synchronous communications between wired, wireless, and web-based systems. This technology, which the company refers to as the 21st Century Communications??? system, was invented in 1998 and is designed to instantly create and update displays and Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) on handheld devices from fixed, legacy computing systems, often using methodologies like HTML and XML messaging. This process ensures database equilibrium and synchronization across all system nodes, meaning an action on one part of the network???such as a mobile device???automatically updates all other parts.
This pioneering work in data synchronization is considered essential for the modern wireless/web hospitality enterprise, encompassing functions like online/mobile ordering, reservations, ticketing, and payment processing. Ameranth's solutions are designed to move the point of activity from fixed terminals to the customer's side, eliminating inefficiencies and increasing profitability and guest satisfaction.
