Lucent Offers SDK for Wireless Apps

Lucent Technologies released a new MiLife Intelligent Services Gateway (ISG) Software Developers Kit (SDK), a set of tools that independent software vendors and mobile operators can use to develop enriched services targeted at mobile phone users. The software toolset provides mediation capabilities using standards that include Parlay and Open Services Architecture (OSA) for 3G services. Software applications will be able to make use of information such as the location of a mobile user, the kind of mobile device they are using, subscriber data contained in the user's profile such as passwords and preferences, and billing information to handle payments for purchases of goods and services made using a mobile device. In addition, software applications such as multi-party conferencing will be able to set up telephone calls to friends and family using a simple Internet-based user interface.
