Nokia will offer its Nokia Artus messaging platform separately but operators also have the chance to acquire this platform together with content services provided by GIN. The Nokia Artus messaging platform solution enables GSM phone users to directly access the Internet and fetch information from Web pages. The information is formed into short messages and sent back to the subscriber. The services offered in various countries around the world at the moment include, for example, sports and financial news, stock information and a dictionary.

GIN's content server is connected to the Internet. This enables an immediate connection to any Nokia Artus messaging platform worldwide. Using the Internet as an artificial 'leased line'; GIN offers services to operators. At a later date, operators can add new services from GIN or from other content providers, a release said.

Communications fair

Over 200 hardware and software professionals from 22 countries are to take part in Broadcast, Cable and Satellite India 97, the largest international exhibition of state-of-the-art technology opening in New Delhi tomorrow.

The exhibition at the Pragati Maidan coincides with Communications India 97, a major show of telecommunications and the Internet, aimed at demonstrating the merging of the two technologies. The shows have been organised from December 9 to 11 by Exhibitions India in collaboration with the Trade Fair Authority of India.

US Secretary of State for Commerce William M Daley, who is now visiting India, will inaugurate the American pavilions at the two exhibitions.
