Openwave® Web Adapter

in
Meta Description 
Adapts open web content into fully functional mobile phone-compliant pages.

Gateway to a Richer Mobile Internet Experience

Today, most web browsing is done from PCs. According to netcraft.com, there are more than 60 million active web sites on the Internet, yet only half a million offer limited access from a mobile phone.

Openwave Web Adapter takes content requests from mobile phones for standard web sites and converts the web pages into highly compressed, functional mobile phone-compliant WAP2 pages.

Web Adapter allows operators to significantly increase their data revenues by enabling subscribers to access the vast majority of the Web on their mobile phones in a mobile-compatible format.

Web Adapter was designed for complicated web transactions and provides access to more of the Web on a WAP2-standard phone than any other competing product.

Operator Benefits

  • Increased mobile data usage: Provides mobile access to the Internet from WAP-2 standard phones.
  • Faster content: Greater availability of content, a faster user experience and fewer errors.
  • Increased revenue: Drives new levels of web browsing with frequent and longer sessions.
  • Unique content adaptation: Provides mobile access to the Internet and improves the user experience by changing the page mark-up to compliant XHTML/MP, reformatting size and layout, minimizing expensive data, adding in-page headers and footers with customized operator functions, and changing incompatible character sets.

Subscriber Benefits

  • The Internet on more handsets: Enables more than 80% of web content on standard WAP-2 mobile phones. No need to install any applications or new software; uses the native phone browser.
  • Increased security: Encrypts secure website transactions all the way to the phone.
  • Enhanced navigation: In-page quick links and functions deliver a better user experience without endless scrolling and clicking to find content, plus all phone numbers on web pages are click-to-call.
