WebSphere MQ Everyplace supports mobility and fragile communication
networks. Because WebSphere MQ Everyplace is targeted at lightweight
devices, it is frugal in its use of system resources. It offers
tailored functions and interfaces and does not aim to provide exactly the same
capabilities as other members of the WebSphere MQ family. It also
includes unique functions to support its particular classes of user, such as
comprehensive security provision, messages, synchronous and asynchronous
messaging, remote queue access, and message push and pull.
There are various possible WebSphere MQ Everyplace applications,
many of which are expected to be custom applications developed for particular
user groups. The following list gives some examples:
- Retail applications
- Trickle feeding till transactions to host systems, such as message brokers
- Consumer applications
-
- Supermarket shopping from home using a PDA
- Gathering traveller preferences on airlines
- Financial transactions from a mobile phone
- Control applications
