New Pagers. New Solutions. New Areas of Application.

“If pagers are mainly used just as beepers in Europe today, that indicates a lack of imagination.” That was the finding of a 2001 market study by Forrester Research that also stated: “The potential for application in industry, trade and services is infinite.” e*Message’s success story bears out these statements. Paging network operators in Europe, America, Asia and Australia have developed completely new solutions and pioneered new fields of application in recent years. Pagers are not just “beepers” any more, but also weather stations, storm sirens, and electricity rate displays. Some devices are even integrated in parking and traffic guidance systems. As classic pagers, they guide truckers to the right loading dock, call out snowploughs in the winter, and dispatch service technicians to the site of a breakdown. Last but not least, more and more firefighters in Europe are alerted within seconds by fire alarm pagers.

e*Message Awarded European Innovation Prize

Since its founding in 2000, e*Message has continuously invested in the development of new services, products and technologies, and introduced innovative solutions. In 2007, the European Mobile Messaging Association (EMMA) even awarded e*Message its Innovation Prize. According to the jury, the novel kind of radio weather station using satellite technology that e*Message launched that year revolutionized the weather station market and brought about another breakthrough for paging technology.

EMMA has forty-five members in twenty-six countries, including Vodafone, PageOne, Multitone, Tecnomen and other network operators, providers and manufacturers.
