TransDigital Solutions Inc. Is Approved As An Authorized BlackBerry Agent

Lexington, KY - TransDigital Solutions Inc. has been approved as an Authorized Agent for Research In Motion's BlackBerry wireless email solution. TransDigital, a web development firm based in Lexington, Ky., can now sell BlackBerry products interfacing with the Microsoft® Exchange server to the corporate and education market. BlackBerry is a leading wireless email solution for the enterprise and is designed specifically for corporate environments using Microsoft® Exchange or Lotus® Domino™.

TransDigital Solutions can provide several options to the end user environment: (a) TransDigital Solutions will host a Microsoft® Exchange server owned by the client; (b) the client will host its own Microsoft® Exchange server at a data facility at an outside location; or (c) an individual, independent user account can be set up for wireless email. In all scenarios, BlackBerry 950 Wireless Handhelds or BlackBerry 957 Wireless Handhelds will be made available upon plan selection.

President and CEO Bill Dotson of TransDigital Solutions said, "We reviewed the opportunity carefully before pursuing an agent contract and we believe that the enterprise customer is best served with this form of wireless email access. Our clients have requested a handheld solution to improve their overall productivity."

"The true power of BlackBerry is mailbox integration," he said. BlackBerry integrates seamlessly with a user's existing corporate email account providing a wireless extension of their regular email mailbox. Users can read, compose, forward, reply, delete or file messages from the palm of their hand while maintaining their single, existing email address and mailbox. They can also control which messages they receive on their wireless handheld by setting email filters that monitor key words and message fields.

BlackBerry incorporates advanced Triple DES encryption technology to meet stringent corporate security guidelines for remote email access. Email messages remain encrypted at all points between the BlackBerry Wireless Handheld and the corporate email account, ensuring the integrity and security of the data.
