Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is the leading global open standard for applications
over wireless networks. WAP provides a uniform technology platform with consistent
content formats for delivering Internet and Intranet based information and services to digital mobile phones and other wireless devices. This way it can accommodate handheld digital wireless devices such as mobile phones, pagers, smart phones and communicators
Key WAP application categories include:
· Wireless access to Internet content:
Consumers benefit from immediate interactive access to the information they need at that moment.
· Wireless access to Corporate IT-systems (origin servers) and Extranets.
Corporations can offer new channels for their services and also create totally new services for their mobile customers.
· Wireless access to personal information:
Wireless device users can access their e-mail, calendars, 'to do' lists, and even screen text headers for their voice mail messages.
· Intelligent Telephony Services:
Carriers can offer their customers secure access to their personal and other customer-related information now located in the carrier customer configuration, billing and other databases in the Intelligent Network.
