Motorola wireless Internet signs with Halebop
[August 3rd 2000] Motorola's recently opened centre in
Sweden for the development of mobile Internet services has signed a Memorandum
of Understanding with Halebop, the joint venture company of Oracle and Swedish
operator Telia. When implemented, Halebop will be a reference service provider
in Europe, Middle East and Africa and Motorola will have access to a broad range
of new mobile services and applications for its broad range of mobile phones. "During the last year Motorola has been working
closely with both Telia and Oracle, in a good collaboration, to mutually develop
ideas and applications for the mobile communication market. The Memorandum of
Understanding with Halebop is a natural continuation on this
collaboration", says Ulf Gustafsson, General Manager of Motorola's Wireless
Internet Application Centre in Sweden. "Through Halebop Motorola will gain
many additional users and when the MOU is implemented, we will have a better
understanding of the type of applications that are currently missing in the
market and determine the new applications that need to be developed..." Motorola is offering support, training, certification, and
testing environments for application developers. By linking Motorola's
competence in-house with specific expertise, such as Halebop's, Motorola
Wireless Internet Application Centre, there will be a dynamic resource that
drives the development of the mobile Internet forward. The Swedish centre is the
first that Motorola has opened and the next step will be to open a number of
Wireless Internet Application Centers across the globe that will collaborate in
order to offer Motorola's customers desirable mobile applications through the
development community. "This is as a strategic alliance. Together we will be
able to create testing environments and develop infrastructure and services that
will benefit the end-consumer. Earlier we have seen problems as the
manufacturers of mobile phones and service providers have not kept the same
pace, WAP is a good example of that", says Roland Svensson, CEO of Halebop.
"Now, when a new mobile phone is released on the market a number of working
services will be available at the same time through a collaboration such as
this". "We believe this collaboration will lead to better
mobile services and a more fast paced development for both parties", says
Stefan Holmen, Senior Business Development Manager at Halebop. "This will
be made possible by mutually sharing knowledge and experience on what is
technically possible and on what the user requires". Halebop Halebop is one of the leading mobile portals in the world. Halebop is a result of several years of co-operation between Telia AB and Oracle. |
