1. A network mobility server, for use with a private mobile network having mobile components and fixed components, comprising:
- a computer loaded with cooperating software modules, includinga target device inventory module,a data collection module,a data management module, anda distribution module,wherein the target device inventory module stores an inventory of members of the private mobile network and an indication of the display capabilities of devices in the inventory,wherein the data collection module receives a data file from a network member outside the mobility server, the data file having at least one version each having a respective display format; and
manages reformatting of the data file into an additional version having a display format which a particular device in the inventory has the capability to display,wherein the data management module stores for subsequent distribution, the additional version and each of the versions in which the data file was received,and wherein the distribution module transmits in response to a request, to a target one of the devices in the inventory, a version of the data file which the target device has the capability to display.
