During financial year 2003, we have set out to acquire expertise in emerging technologies and as part of the strategy we have ventured into wireless technologies. At the begining of the year, we have started with a small team size of 3 members with a couple of team members joined us from bigger comapnies like Siemens, Vodafone bringing in with them vast and rich expertise which is key for this emerging technology.

We have started with developing small products on Windows CE OS and Palm OS. We have meanwhile bagged a contract for developing of a Video Surveillance System for one of our US based clients including a wireless device monitoring versions. Around THIRD quarter of the year, we could get a bigger project directly from United States Geological Survey Department and are working it out through Jognson Controls of USA.

USGS contacted Etisbew to build the SF extensions using Code Warrior tool, for the front-end developed by USGS. The front end was developed using the Satellite Forms from PUMA technologies. As per PUMA technologies specifications, SF Extensions are to be written in 'C' language only. As part of the first phase of the project. basic requirement is to develop backend database functionality to the existing "Satellite Forms App" application. The backend database is Oracle Lite (Olite) on Palm device, which gets its data from the remote mobile Server (Oracle Server) by means of sync procedure.

As part of Phase TWO of the project, we are currently working on “Surface Water Inspection & Measurement” tool - Basically it is an Palm application using C++ (Palm OS SDK) with Oracle Lite 5.0.2 backend.

The information collected from field personnel of USGS is stored into palm Olite DB using oracle's OKAPI/ODBC API and periodically is synchronized with the remote mobile server.We are also currently working on applications related to Palm device programming using the latest technologies like Oracle9iLite, Mobile Server, OKAPI. We have developed a synchronizing tool to synch the remote data from the Oracle Mobile Server located at a different place. We have also developed MSQL query analyser to execute the SQL queries from the mobile device. We have also developed WebService clients using pocket SOAP API. Developed Video Streaming Applications for Pocket PCs and much more. We have an R&D team working exclusively on the latest technologies like i-mode, bluetooth, etc.

We have also done projects for Pocket PCs using C, C++, Java, eVB and eVC++ on win CE and other environments. We use development tools like Satellite Forms 5.1.3, CodeWarrior 9.0, AppForge.
