Wireless Application Protocol, standard for accessing the internet with wireless devices, e.g. mobile phones. A secure specification that allows users to access information instantly via handheld wireless devices such as mobile phones. The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a hot topic that has been widely hyped in the mobile industry and outside of it. WAP is simply a protocol- a standardized way that a mobile phone talks to a server installed in the mobile phone network. It is amazing how in just six months, it has become imperative for all Information Technology companies in Nordic countries and beyond to have a WAP division. Many many advertising agencies and "dot.coms" have announced WAP services. |
