Working with Beijing Mobile Communications Corporation (BMCC) and China Mobile Communications Corporation (CMCC), Nokia has demonstrated the use of WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) to browse the Internet in Chinese.
It is the first time that Nokia WAP platforms and the Nokia 7110 media phone have been used to browse the Internet in Chinese, marking important progress in Nokia's efforts to develop WAP applications for the Chinese market.
Nokia conducted the demonstrations using BMCC's GSM network and the Nokia Artus Messaging Platform. The Beijing Telecom Administration server acted as the information source for the demonstrations.
WAP is an open global standard for communication between a mobile handset and the Internet or other computer applications. Using WAP-based platforms, such as the Nokia Artus Messaging Platform, real-time mobile services such as Internet-based plane schedules, weather forecasts, stock quotations, sports scores and news services will become available for mobile phone and other mobile device users. At the same time, users can also connect to corporation intranets, accessing information such as corporation directories, resources and even cafeteria menus.
According to an agreement earlier this year, Nokia, BMCC and CMCC will jointly develop WAP applications for the Chinese market.
