IBM® Lotus® Domino® Web Access Lite mode is an exciting new capability within the established Lotus Domino Web Access product that uses a new page architecture optimized for empty-cache or low-bandwidth scenarios. Learn how these innovative performance improvements are delivered to you in an updated user interface (UI) that more closely resembles your IBM Lotus Notes® client user experience.

IBM Lotus Domino Web Access Lite mode provides users with quick access to Mail, Contacts, and a Day-At-A-Glance calendar. These client performance improvements leverage Web 2.0 technologies such as Ajax and are above and beyond those introduced to Lotus Domino Web Access in 6.5.3 fix pack1.
Lotus Domino Web Access Lite supports the same set of browsers and platforms as Lotus Domino Web Access Full mode. Lotus Domino Web Access Lite is fully integrated into the Lotus Domino 8 mail template and Forms8.nsf, so Lite mode can be used by any Lotus Domino Web Access user after the Lotus Domino server and mail template are upgraded to version 8.0.1.
Lotus Domino Web Access Lite is primarily intended for users accessing Lotus Domino Web Access over slower network connections, such as when traveling. Users accessing Lotus Domino Web Access at kiosks, where typically no design information is cached, also benefit from this new mode. Some developing nations have prohibitively expensive high-bandwidth networking costs, so in these regions, Lotus Domino Web Access Lite can provide access to mail without the need for a high-bandwidth network.

The linked IBM article provides an in-depth introduction to Lotus Domino Web Access Lite, including accessing Lite mode, navigating the user interface, and working with your mail, calendar, and contacts.
