Japan's KDDI has deployed "Team Factory" powered by LightSurf eSwitch to enable photos taken on KKDI handsets to be sent to handsets on other cell phone networks, including i-mode and J-sky. With the integration of LightSurf's eSwitch into Team Factory, users are guaranteed a seamless picture sharing experience on any of the nearly 200 handsets on the market in Japan.
Registered Team Factory users can wirelessly upload pictures captured by AU's camera phone, J-Phone's Sha-mail phone or by a mini digital clip-on camera such as AU's PashaPa, add a short text message and share the picture message instantly with any user or group of users on EZweb, i-mode and J-sky.
The LightSurf eSwitch Instant Imaging Server Appliance dynamically converts Web content, including images, in real time to ordinary GIF/ non-compression GIF/ PNG/ BMP/ JPEG format, optimizing delivery to mobile devices, phones, and handheld computers. In the US, SprintPCS will launch a LightSurf-powered service to its mobile customers later this year, allowing them to capture, view and send pictures with their wireless devices to other cell phone owners on any network.'"
