What is WAP?
WAP is short for Wireless Application Protocol. It is a method of letting a wireless device, usually a mobile phone, view Internet pages, using text only, and very simple black and white pictures. Naturally, it isn’t quite as simple as that. Web sites have to be specially designed for WAP phones, and the pages have to be fairly small as the data speed on mobile phones is a lot slower than on domestic modems. Also, all the phones will have screens of different shapes and sizes, so pages will look different depending on the phone your are using.
WAP – “wireless application protocol” – is a common handset internet browser, which allows you to access information via the internet. WAP devices with a display unit such as a handset or a WAP-enabled PDA can use an in-built miniature browser to browse and access Wap-accessible media previews and download via the users’ handsets. Similar browsing, previewing, and downloading capabilities via the internet may also be found in the multimedia album product.
WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol. WAP is a type of communication standard for mobile phones and is often used to download information from the internet or another computer such as text, files, images, ringtones or other data.The WAP communication standard is specifically designed to allow Internet information to be translated into mobile information. WAP takes into consideration the various factors when communicating a wireless device (not only a mobile phone). These include: a less powerful CPU, less memory, restricted power consumption, an un-reliable data connection, smaller displays, and different input devices (e.g. a phone keypad).
