Peramon removes email
language barrier for WAP users
[May 10th 2000] Peramon has launched an international version of
LexicosLite, the first multi-lingual email management system for Wireless
Application Protocol (WAP) mobile phone users. LexicosLite is a user-friendly
software application that now allows users across Europe to access and manage
their existing corporate and ISP email in nine different langauges while on the
move without the need to change
their existing email address The new version of LexicosLite is the first WAP email product to operate
in more than a single language - the system is designed to operate in French,
German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Finnish and Swedish. This
innovative WAP connector is able to recognise which language a mobile phone is
set to and serve-up the appropriate language. A Spanish business user, for
example, connecting to his or her email system in the UK via a WAP phone would
be presented with a Spanish interface. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) providing WAP email to subscribers
across Europe can therefore use LexicosLite as a key differentiator. It is also
well placed for use by multinational corporations looking to improve the
communication capabilities of their employees in different countries. “According to market researchers Datamonitor, over 186 million
people, that’s around 69 per cent of all mobile phone users in Europe, will
have WAP capabilities by 2005,” said David Townsend, managing director of
Peramon. “But despite the size
and advanced nature of the market in Europe we are a continent still divided by
language barriers.” “Email remains the ‘killer application’ in driving people onto the
internet, and so a simple, multi-lingual WAP email system is vital if businesses
and service providers are to maximise the potential of the mobile communications
market as we move towards the future third generation mobile networks,” added
Townsend. Nad Nadesan, Peramon’s marketing director said: “We have very few
competitors with this product. No one in the world is able to match the breadth
of language, phone and platform support provided by LexicosLite. In addition to
the European market, this application is also a natural fit for the South
American continent. We have drawn on our past experience at Digital AltaVista of
designing international products to ensure LexicosLite meets the precise
requirements of the European marketplace.” LexicosLite provides WAP access to any existing email system and offers
an intuitive email interface which maximises the screen display available on
today’s mobile devices. The system has the following key features: ·
Support for nine languages ·
Incoming email alert ·
Keyword email retrieval ·
Comprehensive address book features ·
Email composition facilities via phone keypad ·
Standard text response facility for increased speed on the move The international version of LexicosLite is compatible with all
major mobile phone and PDA devices and can be installed on all major operating
systems including Microsoft NT, HP-UX and Sun Solaris. |
