DENVER-WirelessKnowledge L.L.C., the joint venture between Microsoft Corp. and Qualcomm
Inc., said it will announce at Wireless ’99 this week significant additions to its recently introduced Revolv
service.
“The main highlight is that WirelessKnowledge is starting to work with MSNBC,” said Tom
Clarkson, III, vice president of sales and marketing at the company. “They will supply all headline news to the
Revolv service.”
Additionally, Clarkson said WirelessKnowledge will be working in partnership with General
Magic Inc. to add voice recognition technology and services to the Revolv offering. General Magic uses its proprietary
magicTalk voice recognition technology as well as a text-to-speech system in its Portico virtual assistant
service.
The Revolv service provides remote access to e-mail, calendars, contact lists and information content via
the Internet, as well as access to Microsoft Exchange-based corporate networks from a variety of wireless devices-such
as browser-equipped phones, pagers and Windows CE plamtop computers.
The network connection is provided by
WirelessKnowledge’s Network Operating Center.
