If you want to boil what Antenna does down to a single sentence, you'll get something like this: “Antenna designs mobile applications for large businesses, to help them interact with their employees and customers better”. The company is a major app developer for the enterprise world – and now it has announced that it is going far beyond applications. Today sees the official announcement that Antenna has bought out Volantis – a company that does much the same thing, just on the mobile internet.

Volantis offers its services to mobile operators, businesses and application developers who want to make sure that all of their content, software, processes and inventory work perfectly on the mobile internet.

Neither wants to create just an iPhone app, or a website that's optimized for Androids. They each ensure their products work on thousands of different devices – the big claim is “any wireless or internet-connected device”.
