Cathay Pacific and SHK online provide real-time alerts by MessageisLive

iNFOiSLIVE, the first and leading wireless ASP in Hong Kong, deployed its best-in-class wireless alerting system, MessageisLive, to Cathy Pacific and SHK online. The public is now able to maintain the most up-to-date information by short messages service (SMS) via their mobile phones.

With MessageisLive, Cathay Pacific Airline has launched their innovative 'notiFLY' service in mid October. notiFly sends alert messages about flight arrival and departure schedule to users, allowing them to manage their time accurately.

SHK online, a local financial portal, will also launch their SMS service using MessageisLive platform very soon. Their users will receive alert messages about transaction order information and stock price. Real-time financial information becomes available all the time.

MessageisLive is a wireless platform that allows individual companies to distribute timely information through mobile phone SMS to the public. It also saves the development cost and effort of SMS connections between individual companies and mobile operators. Individual companies can take a proactive role in the flow of information with MessageisLive, which is ideal for real time financial news, price alert, order confirmation and analyst recommendations, etc. The system now covers the mobile operators in Hong Kong (Hutchison, New World Mobility, Peoples and SmarTone), Macau and Taiwan. China will also be covered in the near future.
