Ericsson offers WISE - end-to-end WAP

[February 4th 2000] Ericsson's WISE Time to WAP is a complete end-to-end solution that enables operators to deliver WAP applications rapidly and effectively. Ericsson's WISE  Time to WAP is a total solution comprised of seven components: @ WAP applications - A ready-to-go suite of applications, including 'Messaging-over-IP Wireless e-mail'. With this application, consumers can manage their e-mail via a WAP browser. A wireless e-mail server can also be supplied. The revenue generating applications can be adapted to local market needs as required. @ Application development - WapIDE (WAP Integrated Development Environment) allows operators and content providers to develop WAP

applications, for, as an example, banking, games and directory services. @ WAP application server - provides a development environment and runtime platform consisting of open APIs (Application Programming Interface) that makes it possible to introduce commercial WAP applications quickly and efficiently. The server can convert HTML to WML, allowing users to view Web documents on any WAP terminal or phone.

@ Terminals - Ericsson's Time to WAP solution includes a set of WAP- enabled terminals, such as Ericsson's R320 and MC218. @ WAP Gateway/Proxy - Ericsson's WAP Gateway/Proxy efficiently connects the mobile world with the Internet world as a node in the GSM network. The WAP gateway maps WAP protocols on the mobile side to HTTP and TCP/IP on the Internet side by SMS or any IP bearer, for example, circuit switched data or General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). @ Integrated Access System - allows any vendor's MSC (Mobile Switching Center) to be directly connected to a WAP gateway/proxy, without the need to go via the PSTN or ISDN network. Based on Ericsson's AXC multi-serviceplatform, it efficiently offers users the convenience of wireless remote access.

@ Services and Training - WISE Time to WAP is backed up by a range of customer services that facilitate smooth customer implementation.  In co- operation with an operator, Ericsson's WAP Consulting will develop and integrate new applications requested. The company is also leading standardization work and enabling the development of new applications through its Developer's Zone. Already in June 1999, Ericsson delivered the world's first end-to-end WAP 1.1 system - the first true WAP standard. Since then [Feb 2000], Ericsson has already delivered more than 40 WAP 1.1 compliant systems to mobile network operators, worldwide.

Nortel Networks/Phone.com to integrate WAP via GPRS  Nortel Networks and Phone.com announced at the GSM World Congress in Cannes, that the companies will explore integration of elements of Phone.com's market-leading WAP products with Nortel Networks' IP-based wireless network architecture using GSM and GPRS radio technologies.

The intent is to construct interfaces between Nortel Networks and Phone.com products to achieve optimal implementation of WAP over GPRS. Initially, the companies will target cooperation in the areas of billing, prepaid services, location-based services and "push" information services.

"Network operators will benefit from Nortel Networks' expertise in GPRS infrastructure combined with Phone.com's innovative WAP products," said Jeff Damir, vice-president, business development, Phone.com. "Together, we expect to be able to offer operators a powerful, end-to-end, Wireless Internet solution." Nortel Networks' GPRS solution is based on the  Nortel Networks Passport and Contivity Extranet switches. The GPRS radioinfrastructure involves a simple software upgrade to Nortel Networks' GSM radio equipment. Nortel Networks is working with more than 20 GSM and TDMA operators worldwide for early deployment of GPRS and EDGE (Enhanced Data for Global Evolution) solutions.
