Apex: Overview | Apex Features | How It Works

Apex is an advanced tool for off-deck mobile application developers to host, deliver, and bill for their mobile apps in a device intelligent, cross-carrier environment. Apex allows mobile app developers to focus on the development, while we focus on the deployment. Creating mobile games & applications is hard enough – a wide variety of devices and development platforms, such as J2ME, Symbian, Windows Mobile, PalmOS, and many others, pose significant challenges to the developer. Every successful mobile application has dozens of available binaries or “ports” depending on the capabilities the target device, and the methods for end-user billing and binary delivery vary dramatically from carrier to carrier.

This is why mobile application developers should be focused on one thing – development. Using the Apex web-based tool, application developers can upload multiple ‘versions’ (“ports”) of an app and easily configure hosting of the various versions based on individual devices, device families, or device property groups. All applications are hosted with a 99.9% uptime guarantee in our professional collocation facility at 1 Wilshire, which boasts both server and bandwidth redundancies.

Once hosting is configured for the application, clients can use the Apex platform to configure distribution methods such as SMS keywords and web/WAP download interfaces. Clients can also choose to bill end-users directly on their cell phone bill for downloading an application. Apex also offers rich, graphical reports for billing and download statistics, including downloads by application, version, device, carrier, calendar, and more. Clients can compare performance between distribution methods and other metrics.
