Technology Overview
biNu is a mobile software platform built for speed. Phones on 2G (GPRS / EDGE) networks experience near instant response times from internet apps and services such as Twitter, Wikipedia, news, live sports scores, weather etc.
Designed for Mobile Wireless
Mobile wireless communications face some real world, physical constraints when compared to the wired computing world:
- most mobile devices have small screens, small numeric keyboards, limited memory and processing capacity
- wireless networking is inherently slower, less reliable and subject to much higher latency than wired networking.
Not surprisingly, many users of the mobile Internet today have a poor experience with frustratingly slow response times and inefficient use of data bandwidth.
Because biNu is fast and easy to use, your customers experience a better mobile Internet. Doing more, they wait less. biNu processes all application logic on “back-end” servers, transmits end-user data efficiently over wireless networks, minimises processing on a user’s mobile device and responds instantly through extensive pre-caching and caching of data.
Architecture
The biNu platform has three component layers:
- biNu mobile client – a tiny downloadable application that runs on most Java-enabled mobile devices and offers users a single point of access to online content and services
- biNu proxy server – a secure, scalable platform that efficiently manages the processing, rendering and delivery of content to biNu mobile clients
- biNu applications – hosted anywhere on the Internet, developed in any preferred technology with end-user content delivered to the biNu proxy server in PADL, a simple XML schema for describing biNu applications.
