The Oracle9i Application Server Wireless Edition provides middleware for developing and deploying compact Internet content and reformatted application services. By freeing information from the confines of the PC, people can now get the information they need, when they need it and in the context of their immediate environment, said Chuck Rozwat, executive vice president of server technologies at Oracle. The server also supplies a portal framework that allows wireless users to initiate queries to a database, perform advanced analysis and create and publish reports. The server is designed to deliver any existing Web site or database application as well as new applications to wireless devices. The Oracle9i Application Server Wireless Edition recognizes the format required by a wireless device and automatically responds with the appropriate converted content.
Legacy applications don t have to be rewritten to fit the new wireless standards.
In the end, the mobile professional will have access to a robust suite of services.

The iPlanet Wireless Server also integrates with the full range of Sun-Netscape products, including the company s messaging, calendar and directory server. This compatibility allows already deployed servers to grow wireless services.
