IST Takes AT&T Prize!

Intelligent Spatial Technologies (iST) takes prize at the AT&T devCentral Fast-Pitch Platinum Awards

Las Vegas, Nevada- "iST's iPointer was presented an AT&T devCentral Fast Pitch Platinum Award at this year's competition, which took place at CTIA in Las Vegas on April 4, 2009. iST was selected to present from over 350 applications from mobile software developers from around the globe. iST presented their mobile application to a panel of judges, including business leaders from AT&T, industry experts, and venture capitalists, in a five-minute "fast-pitch" format. All applications were judged on innovation and orginality, marketability, ease of use and user interface design. As a result, iST will be promoted as an AT&T premier wireless application, giving the company exposure to AT&T's more than 70 million customers.

"Fast Pitch continues to be a very successful program in helping us find new and innovative wireless applications," said Mark Collins, vice president of Consumer Data, AT&T's Wireless Unit. "We extend our congratulations to all winners and thanks to this year's participants."

"Competing in the Fast Pitch was a great experience. Being selected by one of the largest wireless operators -- at one of the largest wireless shows -- is an honor in itself, as it validates the unique capabilities provided by iST. We look forward to potentially making iST's pointing-based search technology available to AT&T's customer base," said Chris Frank, CEO of iST.

About the iPointer:  Imagine walking through a city, one that is familiar or unfamiliar to you, and seeing a Point of Interest (POI) about which you would like more information, such as an historical site, landmark, restaurant, or other business - just take out your iPointer-enabled cell phone and point and click.  In milliseconds your cell phone returns an overview - image, audio, or text - of the point of interest.  If it was a restaurant, then you could get a restaurant review, the menu, as well as the day's special.  This is possible with iST’s iPointer “pointing-based” mobile search and content delivery platform. The iPointer mobile search and content delivery platform is network and carrier agnostic and will run on any mobile communication devices with a GPS, Digital Compass, and a wireless data connection.  Our customers benefit from the dynamic content retrieval and update capabilities of our Web-based geospatial search engine and content delivery architecture.
