WIRELESS APPLICATION PROTOCOL

| Posted in | Posted on

WAP is a Wireless Application Protocol. WAP is the new standard for mobile access to Internet Services. With WAP it is possible to implement interactive applications and services for cellular phones and PDA’s (Personal Digital Assistants).

The WAP Standard specifies how the content is transferred between the WAP Server and the WAP Browser and how the phone must process the received WAP content.

Financial information, e-Commerce or entertainment Software can be delivered to handheld devices using WAP. In other words, voice, data and video can be transmitted from the Server to Mobile device via the WAP phone protocol.
About WAP

The Wireless Application protocol (WAP) is an open, global specification that empowers mobile users with wireless devices to easily access and interact with information and services instantly.

Nokia, Ericson, Motorola and the US Software Company phone.com were the initial partners that team up in mid 1997 to develop and deploy the WAP.

WAP is an attempt to define the standard for how content from the internet is filtered for mobile communications. Content is now readily available on the Internet and WAP was designed to facilitate its easier access on mobile terminals.

The WAP game is now heating up in India. While Nokia is repeatedly readying shipments of WAP handsets marked for India. Ericson launched its dual-band and WAP enabled phone in India. ICICI is offering real time stock quotes to WAP phone users.

Internet is still the best when it comes to exchange of information. But if your interest is to be kept updated on the stock market or the latest sport reviews, WAP is the fastest and easiest way to be online. The e-Commerce business WAP is even better than shopping on the Internet.
