In all, there are operators in 31 countries
throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America and
North America who are now using BREW for
their wireless services.
new products, big opportunities
At this year’s sold-out BREW Conference,
QIS unveiled the new BREW Gaming Signa-
ture Solution, a comprehensive solution that
accelerates revenue generation throughout
the value chain, enabling wireless operators
to deliver a compelling consumer gaming
experience, and publishers and developers
to create the best games possible. TIM in Italy
has now commercially launched the BREW
Gaming Signature Solution.
As part of a continuing effort to support our
customers, we also announced the release of
our uiOne Software Development Kit (SDK)
for developers, content providers and graphic
designers. The SDK allows them to create
rich, integrated and dynamic user interfaces
for mobile handsets that can be updated
over the air. Several wireless operators have
announced deployment or plans to deploy
our uiOne offering: U.S. Cellular, Sprint and
Alltel in the U.S., Telecom New Zealand, TIM
and O2 in Europe.
And as a testament to the opportunities and
revenues made possible by the BREW solution,
this June we announced that BREW publishers
and developers have earned more than $700
million from the sale of BREW applications and
services since the launch of the rst BREW
operator in November 2001.
