The multitasking device, using Tarantella Enterprise 3, will be demonstrated on the Sun Microsystems booth at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany, 22 – 28 March.

Tarantella Enterprise 3 software enables the Nokia 9210 Communicator to connect to any Microsoft Windows, UNIX, Linux, AS/400 or mainframe application over the GSM network at speeds of up to 43.2 kbps. Tarantella software has a sophisticated video slicing and scaling technology that enables interaction with any enterprise application from any GSM-capable location

The patented Adaptive Internet Protocol (AIP) has been further enhanced to maximize performance over wireless networks. Enhancements to predictive bandwidth allocation and latency optimization provide breakthrough performance over wireless media, take advantage of today’s High Speed Data (HSCSD) capabilities and are ready for tomorrow’s GPRS technology.
