Abstract

A system for sending data from at least one computing device, which may be an email server, located at a user location, to a plurality of handsets. The system includes an internal system monitor associated with the at least one computing device, and the monitor provides application connectors deployed at the user location. The system also includes at least one wireless gateway router and a mobile client, which provides a client infrastructure installed on the plurality of handsets, such that the at least one computing device acts uni-directionally and thereby provides secure delivery of the data.

Claims

1. A system for sending data from at least one computing device located at a user location, to a plurality of handsets, said system comprising:

an internal system monitor associated with the at least one computing device, said monitor providing application connectors deployed at said user location;

at least one wireless gateway router; and

wherein said at least one computing device handles standard folder information and said handset handles requests and events, such that said at least one computing device acts uni-directionally and thereby provides secure delivery of said data.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the data is a plurality of email messages.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device Pulls a POP3/IMAP

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device Pulls at least one Webmail account from at least one Webmail server.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device is a server.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein said at least one wireless gateway router further comprises at least one data-center server, which provides a plurality of Webmail accounts.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein said at least one wireless gateway router further comprises at lest one Webmail public server to which said wireless gateway router Pushes the data.

8. The system of claim 2, wherein the at least one server is an email server.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device has access to a MicroSoft Exchange™

email server.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device has access to a Lotus Domino™

email server.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device has access to a POP3 email server.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device has access to an IMAP email server.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing device has access to a Webmail server.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the Webmail server uses HTTP protocol.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the plurality of handsets is a mobile handset.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein at least one of the at least one mobile handsets is a mobile phone.

17. The system of claim 15, wherein at least one of the at least one mobile handsets is a pocket PC.

18. The system of claim 15, wherein at least one of the at least one mobile handsets is a smartphone.

19. The system of claim 15, wherein at least one of the at least one mobile handsets is a Palm™

OS device.
