Synchronica has acquired essentially all assets of the U.S. mobile email specialist GoodServer, whose technology is a key component of Synchronica's Mobile Gateway. The acquisition will give Synchronica sole rights to GoodServer's IP and existing license contracts. The IMAP and SMTP technology of GoodServer is embedded in Mobile Gateway, making push email accessible on the majority of mass-market phones. Other licensees of GoodServer's IP include Nokia Intellisync, BellSouth, Cisco, NUASIS, Teamware, and Axis Mobile.

"Open industry standards have cleared the way for accessing PIM and email on mass market phones, and the mobile email market is set to explode over the next three years. We expect a dramatic increase of mobile email, in particular in emerging markets, where the mobile operators have the opportunity to make the mobile phone the primary form of accessing the internet and email services", said Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica. "By acquiring the rights to GoodServer's technology and extending our own IP licenses to other players in the industry, we are strengthening our position in the market for consumer and corporate mobile email.
