The full potential of the mobile Internet is increasingly being realized. Applications and content will center on the mobility, location and situation of the user; they will become “situation-oriented.” This intelligence can be used to create highly valuable, personalized services. Ericsson’s WebOnAir Information Server opens up the world of accurate, convenient and timely information to operators, service providers and users, facilitating the integration of SMS, WAP, positioning, and personalization into value-added mobile services. The server provides a robust, flexible platform and a scalable architecture for developing innovative applications that harness the power of mobility. The authors describe the WebOnAir Information Server, highlighting its main features—the Channel Studio and development kits—which are powerful tools for the creation of complex mobility applications.
