In Europe and Japan, games and entertainment-oriented applications are among the leading
uses of the wireless web. In order to continue to drive this trend in globally, Wireless
Dimensions is introducing its Mobile-Venue Suite™ of products. Targeted at stadium events
and other venues, the product will provide a complete, patented platform for wireless gaming,
trivia, contests, vending/concessions and merchandise sales. Designed to operate with
WAP-compatible devices, Mobile-Venue Suite™ consists of the following components:
- m-Merchandiser™ -- Enables delivery of merchandise to a stadium seat or another
designated address. Since merchandise does not need to be physically located in the stadium,
this capability allows the merchandiser to introduce a wider range of high-end merchandise
for availability.
- m-Concessionaire™ -- Enables delivery of merchandise to the stadium seat so that attendees
to an event do not need to stand in line.
- m-SportsStats™ -- Allows sports enthusiasts to do a free search on popular sports statistics,
both historical and real-time information. Can be tiered so that box seat holders have access
to a wider array of statistics than other attendees.
- m-Trivia™ - Used as a primer for m-Quiz, attendees to an event can research sports facts and
figures as an aid to "winning" contests on m-QuizTM.
- m-Quiz™ - Creates contests, sweepstakes, and drawings using either multiple-choice or open-ended
questions. Winners collect points that can be traded in on merchandise or concession discounts.
- m-Schedule™ - Used to provide schedules of events with location and transportation information.
For use in complex events such as the Olympics or festivals.
- m-Emergency™ - Allows attendees to an event to report a theft or other crime, lost child, or
medical emergency.
Most importantly, Mobile-Venue Suite™ is designed to work both in as a Local-Area Venue™ product
(inside the stadium) as well as a Wide-Area Venue™ product (supporting television and radio audiences).
Key elements of the Mobile-Venue Suite™ product line include:
- Use of WDC's unique, patented wireless location technology for delivery of merchandise to a temporary location;
- An ASP market approach, circumventing the need for up-front capital expenditure on the part of stadium owners
and managers;
- Support for WAP, the industry standard for wireless web-based applications, and other wireless protocols;
- Ability to insert advertising messages into trivia and quiz components in order to create an additional
revenue stream;
- Scaleable platform to meet the needs of a wide range of venues.
