BRUSSELS, Belgium - February 13, 2000 - EZOS, a service provider active in the field of the mobile I.T. business, is proud to announce the successful adaptation of its platform-independent WAP micro browser to the SAGEM WA3050, the industrys first wireless Pocket PC with demonstrated GSM/GPRS technology. The SAGEM Pocket PC is equipped with dual-band GSM phone capabilities and is based on Microsofts Windows Powered Pocket PC platform.
As a provider of services and solutions for mobile technologies, EZOS is exploring innovative ways of working closely with equipment manufacturers. "Our aim is to encourage wider dissemination of WAP technology which is currently only available for a very limited number of devices. We want to throw wide open the doors into the WAP universe to any and every platform in order to provide access to, and facilitate the development of, services using this protocol", explains Jean-Claude Streel, Business Development Manager at EZOS.
The SAGEM WA 3050 combines the latest mobile technology from SAGEMs high-end mobile phones with Microsofts Windows Powered Pocket PC. SAGEMs Pocket PC offers a device with superior ergonomics and all of the features of a high-end mobile phone including a hands-free speaker phone, a vibrating alert, SMS, fax and WAP services. The SAGEM WA 3050 marks a milestone for mobile workers who need to gain access to their most important information while away from the office.
Last year, EZOS developed EzWAP 1.0, the first platform-independent WAP micro browser that enables a variety of computing systems to access the mobile Internet environment such as: mobile devices (Pocket PC, Handheld PC 2000, PC companions), embedded systems and PCs running Microsoft Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows CE. Thanks to its modular design, EzWAP can be integrated into virtually any appliance, regardless of its operating system and only requires a minimum amount of software adaptation to be made.
