AdaptivePush™ is a technology which enables mobile devices to receive notification of e-mail, calendar entries, contacts etc. as they occur in the collaboration system by network push (or: IP push) using the GPRS network, falling back to using SMS push in case the GPRS network is unavailable.
In large organizations, the cost of SMS push can be considerable. Therefore it makes good sense to make use of the GPRS network to connect the mobile device with the collaboration system. The price for one SMS is usually fixed; on the GPRS network, you pay according to the volume of traffic. According to most calculations, using the GPRS network pays off if you receive just a single e-mail a day.
Furthermore, sending commands over the GPRS network is much faster than sending via SMS.
Devices that are connected to the DME server using network push are shown with the following icon in the Devices tab:
