| WIRELESS APPLICATION PROTOCOL (WAP) |
(1) WAP (Wireless
Application Protocol) is a specification for a set of communication protocols to standardize the way that wireless devices, such as cellular telephones and radio transceivers, can be used for Internet
access, including e-mail, the World Wide Web, newsgroups, and instant messaging. While Internet access has been possible in the past,
different manufacturers have used different technologies. In the future,
devices and service systems that use WAP will be able to inter-operate.
(2) A set
of technologies developed by a consortium of mobile telephony equipment vendors
that is designed to bring Web content to wireless handheld communication
devices such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and mobile phones. These
devices are too small to easily display or allow users to interact with regular
Web content. Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) enables them to receive
simplified versions of regular Web pages. Typical uses for WAP-enabled devices
might be to access stock market information, perform online banking, access
inventory and sales information for sales quotes, and exchange information with
business partners.
