Programming Concepts, Inc. is providing comprehensive support, maintenance, and continued development of the RTS Advantage® Wireless Gateway (ADVX). The agreement with Aether Systems allows PCI to modify and distribute Advantage® System software to all existing customers for the purpose of providing software defect resolution and feature enhancements. The agreement uniquely positions PCI as the sole provider of Advantage® support services.

The Advantage Gateway (ADVX) system is a store and forward protocol converter for the wireless text messaging market. The system is deployed as a mission-critical network element at many of the world’s largest PCS, Cellular/Mobile, Paging and Satellite carriers.

The Advantage system can be configured to meet specific customer needs, including those of wireless network operators, wireless infrastructure and device manufacturers and Internet service providers. Customers can offer their subscribers e-mail, news, shopping, stock quotes, weather, travel and other information services.

ADVX supports both one-way and two-way messaging configurations. The two-way configuration is complex due to having to connect two parties for two-way traffic. The WCTP service is a separate server within the ADVX Gateway system. The WCTP protocol may require updating to the latest version depending on client requirements.

PCI is a provider of software development services for the wireless, telecommunications and financial industries. PCI has been providing operational support for the Advantage® system since April of this year. PCI has a fully functional support laboratory consisting of Support, Development, QA, Problem Tracking, and Source Control Systems.
