Go2Systems Joining Wireless Web Portal

Irvine-based Go2 Systems Inc. today will announce an alliance giving the company’s fast-growing addressing and locator system a prominent spot on a new Internet portal for wireless devices being launched by Bay Area start-up Neomar Inc. The new Neomar Mobile Portal, along with Go2 content, is available through American Mobile Satellite Corp.’s eLink device, and in the future will be available through other Web-enabled devices such as the BlackBerry messaging pager and the Handspring Visor and Palm personal digital assistants. The San Francisco company, which competes with Phone.com, has developed a mini-browser that allows digital phones to display information from specially formatted Web sites.

Go2’s location-based information, gleaned from more than 500 Go2 Web sites, provides users with location information for the closest hotels (Go2hotels.com), juice outlets (Go2jambajuice.com) and the like. Go2’s services are also available on the Web and through wireless phones. Terms of the deal with Neomar were not disclosed.
