CAD VIEWING NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE NOKIA 7650 AND 3650 IMAGING PHONES

Wireless viewing of design drawings powered by VISIARC technology ready to be used in a wide range of industries worldwide.

G�teborg, January 14, 2003 - VISIARC AB (a private joint stock corporation) today at Comdex Scandinavia 2003 announced the release of the VISIARC Wireless Viewer for accessing and viewing technical design drawings (CAD) on Nokia�s 7650 and 3650 camera-equipped imaging mobile phones. Drawing archives can include thousands of drawings that cannot all be stored on a phone. The VISIARC System 1 is a wireless drawing archive that allows companies to publish drawings and let business professionals on the move download and view drawings anywhere, anytime. Part of the system, the wireless viewer is the only CAD viewing application for mobile phones and the only with built-in drawing synchronization technology to make sure only up-to-date design drawings are used.

"4 billion drawings can already be distributed using our technology today, which is a moderate estimate", says Peter Lindgren, VP Marketing at VISIARC, "and with the great sales success of the Nokia�s 60 Series we now have the possibility to tap into a rapidly expanding global market. In addition, the 60 Series platform has also been licensed by other mobile phone vendors such as Matsushita/Panasonic, Samsung, Sendo and Siemens."

Drawings are the lingua franca in a wide variety of industries such as construction, facilities management, manufacturing, field service, support & maintenance. The need for up-to-date accurate drawing details is a global need. With the VISIARC System a drawing can be distributed instantly to the point of work, for a cost of a fraction of a stamp.

About VISIARC System 1

The VISIARC System 1 comprises two types of key components; client-side drawing viewers and a server-side drawing archive, the 'Interaction Server'.

The VISIARC Wireless Viewer is the client that enables users to access and view drawings on their wireless phone. The viewer has an intuitive user interface not only to navigate and find the right drawing in the archive, but also to zoom and pan when viewing downloaded drawings. The Wireless Viewer saves the latest downloads locally to ensure that drawing details can be viewed where there is no network coverage, such as in an underground elevator shaft. To guarantee that the user has latest drawing and that no-one has published a later drawing revision, there is a built-in function for wireless syncing, which is automatically engaged every time a connection is established to the server. The Wireless Viewer is today generally available for the Nokia Communicator 9210 and 9210i, as well as Nokia 7650 and 3650 imaging phones. Additional versions, such as for Sony Ericsson's flagship P800 model, are under development to be released shortly. The WebViewer is the other version of design drawing viewer, but is intended for ordinary computers. The stationary WebViewer enables access and viewing of drawings on any Internet connected computer with no other software installed than a regular web browser. In the field and on the move the Wireless Viewer is used and in the office the WebViewer is used.

The VISIARC Interaction Server constitutes the actual CAD design drawing archive and includes also the user database containing all user permissions. To publish and administrate the contents of the server there is an easy-to-use web browser based client, the Server Manager, which enables fast and easy publishing of drawings and latest revisions for both the wireless and stationary users. To have all drawings stored in one centralized location, it importantly ensures that all users have access to the very same and latest drawings.

The Interaction Server supports all industry leading design drawing formats suitable for digital distribution; AutoCAD DWF, Microstation SVF and HP-GL (generic so-called plot format).

Availability

The VISIARC System 1 is generally available for purchase for companies. For small and medium-sized companies a subscription based hosted portal service is offered, MyVISIARC, based on the System 1 technology. MyVISIARC is also released today. Customers rent a MyVISIARC digital drawing archive that is hosted by VISIARC. 

The VISIARC System 1 is available in English and Swedish. Upon request the system will be made available in French, German, Italian, Spanish or any other language. Both System 1 (to be in-house hosted by customers) and MyVISIARC (as by VISIARC hosted service) are available from VISIARC AB.
