RELATED SYMBOLS: (NIPNY)
Tokyo, Japan, Feb 12, 2003 (JCN Newswire via COMTEX) -- NEC Corporation will
demonstrate a series of mobile internet application software (VS and AP Series)
at 3GSM World Congress 2003 to be held from February 17th to 21st in Cannes,
France. The application software will be on display at NEC's telecommunications
stand, No.B5, Hall 1. 3GSM World Congress 2003 is one of the biggest exhibitions
which features a comprehensive range of mobile communications-related products
and services in Europe.
With the creation of these new applications, NEC has once again demonstrated its
strength as a total solution provider for the 2.5G and 3G mobile internet
fields. Individual components of the service applications suite can add
significant value to many existing mobile communications service networks
deployed today.
The total system is completely modular, with each service component offering
easy integration through the open API structure employed by NEC, thus individual
modules can be integrated within an existing mobile service environment.
NEC has already acquired considerable European success with the VS-7800/AP-1000
series. From initial launched last April, European operators who have adopted
this application suite within their service networks, have seen huge financial
benefits together with an increase in their subscriber base and service
portfolio.
Details of the application software to be demonstrated at 3GSM World Congress
2003 are as follows:
Mobile Internet Platform (VS-7800)
The system delivers smooth and fast implementation of WAP-based services,
providing consumers with innovative solutions such as portal service, mailing
service, message multicasting (news, weather, advertisements, emergency
information distribution) and location information services. The system also
offers mobile operators and content-providers with sophisticated services
including agent charging incorporating a billing function which automatically
charges for each service, and value creation by adding various applications.
VS-7800 will be applied to 3G applications as well as 2Gs',which acts as a Proxy
gateway and realizes the Online subscription for Agent charging to multimedia
contents access.
Mobile Digital Rights Management System (VS-7810)
This system encrypts digital content and software applications. In order to
access this content, users must purchase a "Ticket" (deciphering key), which
allows them to freely decode and enjoy it. This system offers a high degree of
protection against the corruption and unauthorised copying of content for
providers, who also benefit from a more flexible and secure billing system. This
system can be applied to content such as games, publications and music-related
services.
Total Recommendation System (VS-7820)
One of the keys to business success in the mobile Internet era is powerful CRM
(Customer Relationship Management) technology. NEC's total recommendation system
offers solutions such as individually customised portal sites, shopping sites
and call centre applications, all of which are keys to mobile Internet business
success. This CRM technology is powerful and effective, enabling Electronic
Commerce (e-commerce) to be undertaken using the Internet via mobile terminals.
CRM enables service providers to analyse user habits, and thus offer more
effective services, with a view to satisfying a broader range of end users.
NEC's original high performance algorithm has been adapted to this system by
each individual function, enabling higher speed and accuracy.
Markup Language Conversion Gateway (VS-7830)
This system automatically and dynamically converts content written in WML, HDML,
HTML, CHTML and XHTML into a format that can be displayed on any mobile phone
browser. It represents an innovative way in which operator revenues can be
improved, as the number of people wishing to subscribe to mobile Internet
service increases. This system will also benefit content providers, by offering
more content and services that are distributed globally.
Online Photo Sharing System (AP-1501)
Online Photo Sharing system is the Application software that provides space for
users to store multimedia albums (still image, animation, audio, text). Mobile
users are able to upload multimedia contents. They can enhance their own
multimedia album. Finally, they can share or send online the enhanced multimedia
album as e-card to friends/ family by mobile phone or PC.
