Spb Software House Announces Spb GPRS Monitor - a unique tool that controls your GPRS traffic and saves your money

September 16, 2002 - Spb Software House, a developer of Pocket PC software, announced today the release of Spb GPRS Monitor - a unique utility for measuring your GPRS connection and calculating its traffic and costs.

As GPRS becomes more and more common, many people consider it an ideal solution for mobile data communication. However, many people are surprised about the costs of GPRS. But now there is Spb GPRS Monitor - the tool that helps you understand and control all the tricks of GPRS.

With Spb GPRS Monitor users of wirelessly connected Pocket PCs have a chance to know all the details about their network connection and save money on their GPRS or cellular connection. Spb GPRS Monitor logs all GPRS traffic and reports data transfer amounts and costs per certain period of time; logs daily/monthly/yearly data transfer amounts, compares the collected data against pre-defined tariff rates and performs some other activities that help you to maintain your cellular phone account.

Spb GPRS Monitor is always at your sight - it installs a dynamic icon onto Pocket PC taskbar that shows you the most important information about your GPRS connection: its speed, current block usage and battery power. Since a Pocket PC consumes a lot of battery power when connected to a wireless network it is very important to have an ability to manage power consumption of the device. That's why Spb GPRS Monitor also includes battery power meter and screen backlight control optimizing your Pocket PC device for GPRS connection.

Spb GPRS Monitor can also create a detailed report of your data connection usage. This report can also be saved to a file for later use with Microsoft® Excel, Microsoft Access and other similar spreadsheet and database applications.
