Engineers wanted for mobile platform development
TTPCom is recruiting a significant number of engineers to join the development team working on its Ajar platform - the definitive mobile applications framework for mass market handsets
It embodies a set of prioritised service guidelines - including enhanced graphics, music, video, games, ring tones, screen savers - that can be offered in the future by any manufacturer of GPRS handsets.
Whale expanded, "For 3G to be a success it has to deliver exciting products, such as games and graphics, that the leisure user finds compelling and quick and easy to use".
He continued, "Through M-Services the industry has an opportunity to combat the cynicism left by WAP and start on the road to making 3G profitable".
Basic elements for M-Services comprise: GPRS and circuit switched data; WAP 1.2.1, June 2000 release; selected features from WAP 2.0 (dual mode WML1/WML2 browser); a graphical user interface; download of media objects (ringing tunes, graphics, games, screen savers etc); multimedia messaging - MMS, and optionally e-mail; enhanced messaging service - EMS; SIM Application Toolkit (Release 99); and SyncML for vCard and vCal.
Explained TTPCom's Whale: "We already offer GPRS, WAP 1.2.1, SIM Toolkit Release 99 and a graphical user interface, and these technologies provide a platform for our customers to hit the ground running - to develop reusable content and applications ready for 2.5G and 3G.
EMS, Java, wireless gaming, and a downloadable content capability will be delivered to customers before the end of the year, in line or ahead of the M-Services roadmap.
Next year we will have available our dual-mode WAP browser, e-mail client, multimedia messaging (MMS) client and SyncML ready ahead of the M-Services June 2002 requirement.
No-one else comes near in breadth or in depth".
