    Sofor Wireless and UbiwareLab Inc. cooperate to provide flexible mobile solutions to the Korean market


    Seoul, August 2006 – Sofor Wireless from Finland and Korean company UbiwareLab Inc. have signed an agreement to cooperate in selling and promoting the Waplane technology in Korea as well as providing easy, expandable mobile solutions to UbiwareLab’s customers.

    To enter the Korean market, Waplane has been tuned to support the Korean character set, and it has also been localized for the Korean users. The mobile internet platforms are largely standardized in Korea and differ somewhat from the Europeans. Waplane has been tested on all Korean mobile operator platforms and is now totally compatible with all terminals used in Korea.

    UbiwareLab is a mobile solution leader in Korea focusing on ubiquitous and security business areas. One of their leading products is the mobile anti-virus solution that enabled SKTelecom to start commercial service world-wide first in 2004. UbiwareLab won the world-wide IBM Beacon Award in 2005 for successful development of an enterprise information portal for the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affair & Trade.

        – I'm very pleased to be able to do business together with Sofor Wireless. I’m confident that Waplane will provide our clients with an excellent solution with effectiveness and TCO. The success in the Korean market will also be a trigger to jump up globally, I believe, says Joong Mann Sohn, CEO of UbiwareLab.

        – We have positive expectations for the business in Korea, says Jukka-Pekka Sorvisto, CEO of Sofor Wireless. – There are multiple large enterprises and operators that are all potential Waplane users. Also, the Korean mobile market is well advanced and regenerated. The fact that the Korean economy is one of the fastest growing in the world is a of course a benefit. And I can safely say that Sofor Wireless can meet the challenges in that market, Sorvisto says.
