The new MIRS services will be accessed through mobile phones equipped with a WAP-compatible microbrowser such as the Phone.com UP.Browser. iDEN phones within the network include the i1000plus, the i500 and the i700 from Motorola, effectively meaning that all new subscribers to the MIRS network will be WAP enabled.

Phone.coms UP.Link Server Suite software will enable MIRS to offer mobile customers access to a wide range of Internet based information services such as email, organizer, messaging and fax services as well as a content translator.

"Phone.coms expertise in WAP is allowing us to deliver a unique, quick to market offering which will add value to the Israeli services market," said Shimon Tal, chief executive officer of MIRS. "Phone.com software delivers a WAP-compatible platform which provides flexibility and interoperability with WAP browser-enabled handsets. As we deploy these handsets, we expect to see a growth in services and use of the network."

The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an open, global specification that empowers mobile users with wireless devices to easily access and interact with information and services. The WAP Forum is the industry association, comprised of over 270 member companies, which has developed the de-facto world standard for wireless information and telephony services on digital mobile phones. Phone.com is a founding member of the WAP Forum.

"By continuing to partner with leading mobile operators such as MIRS, Phone.com has established the standard way for carriers to deliver the Internet to millions of wireless phone users worldwide," said Malcolm Bird, managing director of Phone.com in Europe. "This is another example of Phone.coms strength in the global market-with accelerated time to market and unmatched features, reliability, and scalability."

The UP.Link Server Suite offers operators such as MIRS, a complete WAP-based solution to enable their subscribers to gain access to Internet-based content and applications. The Phone.com UP.Link Server Suite is in its fourth generation, providing a scalable and robust implementation of the WAP protocol. Since 1997, Phone.coms solutions have been licensed to over 50 of the worlds leading operator networks.
