Spyglass Upgrades Wireless Content Delivery/Transformation App

With the latest specifications for WML recently issued and the multiple levels of HTML employed, wireless operators and content providers are demanding enabling technologies to transform content fast and cost effective. To meet the challenge Spyglass, Inc. has released its third generation of Spyglass Prism, a content delivery and transformation technology.

New Features:

  • Support for XML
  • Content sources and support for transforming content into CHTML (Compact HTML)
  • Support for the updated WML 1.2 issued by the WAP Forum

Spyglass Prism 3.1 provides a highly scalable, distributed framework for converting data sources and Internet mime types into device and browser specific languages and formats.

Spyglass Prism transforms HTML, WML or XML content to devices that vary in display capabilities, processing power, and communication speed. The technology identifies the device requesting data and then extracts, compresses, and transforms the data and images to meet the specifications of the device for appropriately formatted display and delivery. Spyglass Prism provides content and service providers with the tools to customize their content according to delivery strategies that may contain a variety of preferences. For instance, the latest version of Spyglass Prism can support WAP 1.2 specifications by automatically converting HTML into WML before delivering the content to a WAP-enabled device.

In addition, Spyglass Prism has the capability to deliver Web content via short messages, voice, and Internet protocols for multiple wireless devices.
