Abstract
1. imode: An Introduction
The imode is the NTT DoCoMoâ„¢s new Internet access system. It is an
advanced intelligent messaging service for digital mobile phones and other mobile
terminals that will allow you to see Internet content in special text format on special
imode-enabled mobile phones. Enabling information access from handheld devices
requires a deep understanding of both technical and market issues that are unique to the
wireless environment. The imode specification was developed by the industryâ„¢s best
minds to address these issues. Wireless devices represent the ultimate constrained
computing device with limited CPU, memory and battery life and a simple user interface.
Wireless networks are constrained by low bandwidth, high latency and unpredictable
availability and stability. The imode specification addresses these issues by using the best
of existing standards and developing new extensions when needed. The imode solution
leverages the tremendous investment in web servers, web development tools, web
programmers and web applications while solving the unique problems associated with the
wireless domain. The specification ensures that this solution is fast, reliable and secure.
The imode specification is developed and supported by the wireless telecommunication
community so that the entire industry and its subscribers can benefit from a single, open
specification.
