Peek Performance
No-fuss messaging on the go. That’s what you get with Peek, the world’s first wireless email and texting-only device.
Aimed squarely at non-techies, this super-thin, super-stylish pocket device allows consumers to send and receive email and text messages quickly, easily, and affordably.
“ 92% of adults are on email according to our research. Only a tiny fraction of those people have access to email when they’re away from their computers. We want to change that. ”

Chief Executive Officer, Peek
Reaching an Untapped Market
A refreshingly simple and ingenious device from a company with the same name, Peek taps into an overlooked segment of the U.S. market.
“Ninety-two percent of adults are on email according to our research,” notes Amol Sarva, Peek’s chief executive officer. “Only a tiny fraction of those people have access to email when they’re away from their computers. We want to change that.”
Teaming for Success
To succeed, Peek is working with Qualcomm Enterprise Services’ Global Smart Services. Qualcomm, as MVNO (mobile virtual network operator), provides the infrastructure, connectivity, and managed network services that enable Peek to deliver simple and affordable mobile email to the broader market.
Provided services include Web provisioning, activation and consolidated billing, network and application expertise, SIM (subscriber identity module) cards, and 24/7 operations support—helping to ensure that Peek’s customers are always connected.
Qualcomm’s wireless services capability is highlighted by reliability, scalability, network security, two-way communication, and world-class customer support.
A Shared Vision
“Qualcomm was a natural choice for us,” says Sarva. “They are a visionary company that thinks about where the wireless industry and the Internet are going, and then they build the technologies and platforms that enable that future.
“Qualcomm is a rare company in the mobile ecosystem,” adds Sarva. “They are a large, well-entrenched, resourceful player in the wireless business, and they are willing to invest in something new. At Peek, we have a vision that more non-phone consumer products will connect to the Internet. Qualcomm shares our vision, and they enable our data networks in the United States.”
Today the U.S., Tomorrow the Globe
Peek is a hit among users. Time named the device 2008 Gadget of the Year. It’s been written up in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Forbes, BusinessWeek, and other prominent publications. It’s even got a fan base known affectionately as Peeksters.
Currently operating in the U.S., Peek looks forward to conquering the globe.
