VoiceStream uses RealName system

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.-RealName Corp. and VoiceStream Wireless Corp. plan to bring wireless keyboard navigation for the wireless Web to VoiceStream’s mobile Internet service, WebStream.

The intuitive navigation system will allow subscribers to use company, brand and product names instead of URLs to access content on the wireless Web throughout VoiceStream’s markets beginning this year.

To use the system, subscribers enter wireless keyboards on the handset’s “Go To” menu option line and are taken directly to the site specified. In addition, the system is designed to speed locating the direct site by reducing name entry to just one or a few letters through an auto-complete feature.
