Client/server solution gives mobile workforces complete wireless access to the Internet and corporate intranets CAMBRIDGE, MA — August 06, 2002 — Bitstream Inc. (NASDAQ: BITS) announced today it is releasing ThunderHawk Server Edition — Bitstream's wireless Web browsing technology for corporations and organizations. ThunderHawk Server Edition brings the desktop browsing experience to mobile devices, enabling employees to view the full text and images of any Web page. While using Bitstream's client/server architecture, your corporate IT department can deploy ThunderHawk on your networks, enabling your mobile workforce to browse both Internet and intranet Web pages — giving your employees access to crucial corporate data, whether on the road or in the office. With ThunderHawk technology in hand, your mobile workforce can make database inquiries, update inventories, order products and publications, communicate with clients in the field, and schedule services and repairs. "ThunderHawk Server Edition lets you stay connected anytime, anywhere. It gives companies complete wireless access — through their mobile devices — to their corporate intranets and Web sites. Out in the field, it is much easier and more convenient to work with a small Pocket PC device than a bulky laptop," said Anna Chagnon, President of Bitstream. "We are very pleased to announce the product release of ThunderHawk Server Edition, the key step in making access to the wireless Web a reality." The ThunderHawk client runs on various wireless devices such as Pocket PCs, but it can also be integrated into any custom-built wireless device that uses the Windows CE 3.0 or Pocket PC 2002 operating system. While your employees are out in the field, they communicate with ThunderHawk servers running in your corporate office. Contact Us About ThunderHawk Bitstream has relied on its 20 years' of font experience in creating its first wireless Web browser. ThunderHawk renders text using the Wireless Font Set, which is made up of high-quality fonts that render well at small point sizes on any display. The fonts are designed specifically for handheld and wireless devices and produce high-quality output for color LCD, anti-aliased, and black-and-white displays. They are specifically designed to fit as much text as possible onto a small screen, as well as provide maximum legibility at small sizes. The fonts are all new designs and are delta-hinted, which involves fine-tuning fonts so that they are easy to read at small sizes.
