The new server enables end-user devices such as portable computers, pen tablets, and PDAs to browse and surf the Internet, download Web information, and execute business transactions over low speed wireless links with faster availability, while minimizing waiting time.

The server monitors the status of the wireless channel and takes into account the specific characteristics of the end-user device and information being transmitted. The server performs dynamic adaptation to channel conditions in order to reduce the download time of the Web information from the Web site to the device.

According to Syscan, the server provides the following advantages:

• The significant reduction in Web download times over low-bandwidth wireless links will lead to a reduction in per-byte costs of data transmission over wide-area wireless networks.
• The server tailors text and images for a wide range of Web-enabled devices and ensures that the Web content best fits the resolution, color, depth, storage and dimension constraints of each device.

The Syscan server is fully compatible with Internet access standards and wireless data access protocols, including CDMA, DECT, UMTS, WLAN, GPRS, Bluetooth, and CDPD.
