HONG KONG-Infinite Technologies Inc. unveiled its Infinite Enterprise Wireless Application Protocol server, a secure WAP gateway the company said will make access to a range of confidential information possible for mobile Internet subscribers.
“We expect that our scalable [Wireless Transport Layer Security] version will encourage many more companies to launch WAP services and applications, now that we can address their security concerns,” said David Bellis, Hong Kong-based manager of Infinite Technologies’ Asia office. “The customers showing the most interest initially are banks and other financial institutions. A secure WAP connection lets them move from simple `check the currency exchange-rates’ informational services, to offering full mobile e-banking services via WAP.”
