A lot of people have asked us what is really special, or different, about the Ublip “Foundation” technology - which we think is a key breakthrough in accelerating the deployment of low-cost M2M and location based applications, such as GPS Tracking & Mobile Equipment monitoring.

I’ll admit that the name isn’t very different or creative - we just couldn’t come up with anything better that implied a simple, easy, fast way to build, deploy and customize applications - that is completely hardware & network agnostic. So Foundation it is!

One thing we haven’t talked about much, though, is how our Foundation’s technology approach not only is simple and effective, it also utilizes many of the most important technologies now emerging. In this article, Gartner highlights the “Top 10 Strategic Technologies of 2008″. And its astonishing to see how many items on this list are inherent in our Foundation, including: ‘virtual’ hosting architecture, composite application & ‘mashup’ creation, web services oriented architecture & what is called the “real world web”.

I think it’s good to know for our corporate customers that working with Ublip helps them take advantage of the most important emerging technologies - without having to make any investment on their part.
