Sprint and GE Offer Unique Wireless Solution for Realtors
Wed Jun 01, 2005 12:37 pm
Sprint and GE are now working together to provide the eKEY and Supra iBox System along with Sprint PCS Vision Smart Devices to real estate boards and agencies across the United States. This combined wireless solution saves Realtors time by being connected wherever they are on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and helps them show more property by receiving daily updated information via a handheld wireless device.
The eKEY and Supra iBox System from GE is an electronic keybox with remote control access via an infrared beam between the keybox and a wireless handheld device. When combined with a device such as the palmOne Treo 650 and Samsung SPH-I500, the real estate professional can access the Supra iBox for immediate entry to show property, retrieve automatic daily updates on the Realtor's property listings using the Supra iBox technology and access the Web for updated Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data.
GE currently has agreements with more than 100 real estate boards and related organizations across the country that make the Supra iBox System available for Realtors. GE is continuing to expand availability by finalizing agreements with a growing number of Realtor organizations and actively working with Realtors to adopt the solution. Once a real estate board or related organization installs the compatible keybox system, individual Realtors can purchase the packaged wireless solution from Sprint.
