A Proven, Scalable Architecture

The SurfKitchen architecture is designed around creating the best user experiences possible:

Overview Diagram

The Device – Operator applications are defined in SKML – a markup language that is independent of the underlying device platform.
Any aspect of the user interface (including content, look and feel, page flows, etc.) can be modified from a SurfKitchen Server.
The Server – The powerful SurfKit server has the ability to distribute the correct content to individual users. The Server manages the collation of content (according to schedules or real-time) and uses SurfKitchen’s patented SurfSync technology to deliver the content to the handsets.
