Frost & Sullivan Acclaims Omnitrol Networks

Based on its recent analysis of the North American RFID middleware and software market, Frost & Sullivan has presented Omnitrol Networks with the 2007 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Innovation. This is a significant recognition from a leading influencer in the industry.

It feels good to see our value proposition resonate with customers (i.e. Boeing) and industry subject matter experts as we are building the Ubiquitous Network infrastructure. Here are a few quotes from their press release:



  • "The OMNITROL was designed as a Telco-grade network appliance with as many applications and standard protocol options as possible, giving it unique versatility compared to other products in the market," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Brendon Ouimette.

  • "The Omnitrol EASE software platform is built to be able to create and manage business process applications and to be able to develop and implement new ones from a Web-based interface," stated Ouimette.

  • "When new applications for RFID technology become available, the OMNITROL is capable of being quickly upgraded to meet these new business demands by virtue of its devices adaptation and services deployment software application layers and its panoply of I/O hardware interfaces."

Facebook Launches Facebook Platform

I haven't had the time to cover much of the social network phenomenon, but I believe it's part of the ubiquitous network as it allows people to communicate. This announcement probably marks the end of MySpace or any other web property who wanted to capture some big slices of the social media pie. I always believed in finding application innovation outside of the four walls. Trying to innovate and build your own application, like MySpace has done so far. So unless MySpace is already working on such an open platform, they can kiss their leader position good-bye.

Facebook could easily become the most important portal for your internet experience as Yahoo or MySpace were. I would call them the internet operating system.
