Ericsson launches new, enhanced WAP gateway for business users

 
- Enterprise WAP Gateway/Proxy supports push functionality and user
 profiling
 
Ericsson launches its Enterprise WAP Gateway/Proxy 2.0, a new version of
its WAP Gateway for enterprise users. The new system supports the WAP
June 2000 standard, providing easier service set-up and faster access to
corporate information.
 
Enterprise WAP Gateway/Proxy 2.0 is the first WAP gateway for enterprise
customers, which is compliant with the WAP June 2000 standard. It
supports push technology and user agent profiling functionality, and
runs on any Windows 2000 hardware platform, making it quick and easy to
install.
 
"Enterprise WAP Gateway/Proxy 2.0 further strengthens Ericsson's Mobile
Internet portfolio, which supports our customers and end-users in the
emerging Mobile Internet market," said Staffan Pehrson, General Manager
Mobile Internet Enablers. "It uses our proven WAP technology, already
installed at 70 operators, to provide a secure and reliable solution for
mobile businesses worldwide."
 
The simple installation and scalability of Enterprise WAP Gateway/Proxy
2.0 makes it suitable for enterprises wanting to offer WAP services in-
house independent of network operators. It is also suitable for
financial institutions that need a reliable gateway through which to
offer secure services to customers, and for companies who want to give
employees protected access to their intranet.
 
By using a WAP gateway within a corporate network, a secure end-to-end
connection is established from a user's WAP phone directly to
information on the company intranet. With this new version, users can
get instant access to information from the intranet through new
functionality that "pushes" data to the user.
 
The client configuration functionality included in Enterprise WAP
Gateway/Proxy is based on a de-facto standard called OTA. The WAP
Gateway automatically transmits an SMS to a new user's handset,
detailing set-up information including IP addresses, relevant passwords
and bookmarks. In this way, it is easy to set up new users and using WAP
services are faster and more user friendly.
 
A developer's configuration of Enterprise WAP Gateway/Proxy 2.0 is
downloadable free from the Ericsson Developers' Zone:
