Looking across the Pacific for new business, wireless web access specialist Unwired Planet has revamped its server and browser platforms to support multi-byte character sets for Asian and European languages. The company has also announced wireless internet and email facilities for Japanese businesses, to be delivered through DDI Corp. Through Unwired Planet’s UP.Link server software, users of DDI’s Personal Handy-phone System (PHS) will be able to use email, internet and intranet applications via their mobile phones. Unwired Planet was formed in 1994 to bring web and internet access to cellphones and personal digital assistants. In 1996 it unveiled the handheld device markup language (HDML) on which its UP.Link platform is based.
