`Nokia Unveils World s First All-In-One Communicator For The Americas
`
`Published September 19, 1996
`
`In addition to voice calls, the Nokia 9000 Communicator enables users to send and receive faxes, e-mail and short messages as well as access Internet services and corporate
`and public databases. The new product also provides users with organization functions such as electronic calendar, address book, notepad and calculator.
`
`The initial launch of the Nokia 9000 Communicator at the CeBit trade fair in Hannover, Germany, last March caused a stir in the media, among potential customers as well as
`service and software companies all over the world. This response, along with the industry demand seen since the GSM version began shipping August 15, shows that there is a
`great need for this kind of integrated communications device.
`
` Digital cellular technology and the quality of networks have matured to a stage where Nokia sees a great opportunity to take a giant leap towards the wireless pocketable office
`for mobile subscribers in the Americas, said K-P Wilska, President of Nokia Inc. In addition, there has been considerable interest from companies who wish to optimize the
`Nokia 9000 to serve their specific customer needs, added Wilska.
`
`The operating system platform provides an open development environment so customers will be able to add new innovative functionality as it becomes available from service
`providers, software developers and Nokia. The operating system platform, called GEOS, was developed by Geoworks, who with Intel collaborated on the development of the Nokia
`9000. Intel supplied the 24 MHz, 386 processor and flash memory used in the product.
`
`Nokia was the first manufacturer to supply digital wireless data cards to connect laptop computers and wireless phones for wireless data transmission. The introduction of the
`Nokia 9000 is a major step for Nokia and the industry in the area of mobile data products and demonstrates Nokia s continued leadership in wireless data communications.
