Openwave® Media Adapter

Delivering More of the Internet

Much of the content found on the Web today is unsuitable for browsing on a mass-market mobile handset as it is designed for the PC — a device with a large display, fast processing speeds and additional software packages to handle specialized objects.

Openwave Media Adapter converts web objects — including audio/video clips and MS Office documents — to a format suitable for your mobile handset. Specialized content is presented simply and intuitively as a web page, an image, an appropriately resized media file or a stream.

Media Adapter increases web traffic by improving web usability — users get the content they want on their devices, in the same PC-style format.
