`
`The Nokia WAP Browser is a software product that can be ported and integrated to wireless devices, like mobile
`phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). By licensing the browser Nokia wants to further encourage the
`broad adoption of the WAP standard in the mobile device industries. Also the Nokia 7110, the world's first WAP
`phone, utilizes this browser technology.
`
`"We have seen the need to provide a fully WAP compliant WAP browser to the market. We strongly believe that
`independent software vendors and content developers will be addressing the WAP market to a full degree only if
`the basic platform is fully open and common to all major mobile terminal vendors." says Mr. Pertti Lounamaa,
`Vice President, Nokia Wireless Software Solutions.
`
`Key features of the Nokia WAP browser are its small memory footprint and open architecture with documented
`APis that enable the development of custom user interfaces and the integration with multiple hardware
`platforms, operating systems, and input strategies. The well-defined set of APis make the browser highly
`portable.
`
`The Nokia browser software provides a WML user agent to display content created with the wireless markup
`language (WML), WMLScript engine for execution of applications, support for secure data transmission using
`WTLS, and the WAP Protocol Stack for transporting data over wireless bearer services. The browser
`implementation will be fully WAP 1.1 compliant, as defined by the WAP Forum.
`
`The Nokia WAP Browser complements the Nokia WAP product portfolio into a real end-to-end WAP solution,
`strengthening its position as one of the leading companies in WAP development.

`mobile services, such as mobile banking or Internet based news services, which can be used in digital mobile
`phones or other mobile devices. The WAP specification enables solutions from various suppliers to work
`consistently for end-users on the digital networks. For more information about WAP, see www.wapforum.com .
