EDP Weekly's IT Monitor, Dec 6, 1999

Hyundai (HEI) of Korea plans to license the Phone.com UP.Browser WAP- compatible microbrowser for use in its CDMA phones.

A licensing pact announced last week enables HEI to embed Phone.com's (Redwood City, Calif.) UP.Browser in CDMA phones to be introduced worldwide. HEI plans to commercially ship a new handset in the Korean market within the next thirty days.

The UP.Browser will enable HEI mobile users to wirelessly access and interact with Internet and intranet data through wireless carriers who have licensed the Phone.com UP.Link server software.

"The agreement with HEI demonstrates Phone.com's continued commitment to provide WAP-based software to handset manufacturers worldwide," says Jeff Damir, vice president of Business Development for Phone.com. "The incorporation of Phone.com's microbrowser will enable HEI to provide the Korean market with the latest in wireless Internet information services through its CDMA phones."

Using UP.Browser, wireless subscribers can access Web-based information and services hosted on network operators' or third-party Web servers.
