LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 1998--The Wireless Application Protocol
(WAP) Forum (www.wapforum.org) today announced that membership has expanded to
include 60 leading industry companies.
The WAP specification provides the basis for a unified worldwide standard -- for providing wireless information access from
handheld devices -- which ensures solutions from multiple providers work consistently for end-users on all networks. General
WAP Forum membership was opened in January 1998. By May 1998, 37 companies had united to contribute to the Wireless
Application Protocol efforts. In the last four months 23 additional companies have joined the WAP Forum and are introduced
subsequently.
The WAP Forum membership now includes manufacturers that represent the majority of the worldwide wireless infrastructure
and handset markets, as well as the largest, and many of the most innovative wireless network operators--implementing all
network protocols. The substantial and continued growth of the WAP Forum membership provides an influential basis for the
evolution of the WAP specification and signifies broad industry commitment to the creation of a worldwide open standard for
wireless Internet access on handheld devices.
