Apparently, the whole world is crazy about wireless communications …
Market forecasters predict that anywhere from 30‐80 per cent of all new cellular telephones sold in the next year – and there are already more than 400 million cellular phone users in the world – will be WAP capable. WAP? – a collection of technologies – programming languages, communications protocols, infrastructure architectures, specifications, and more – designed to give wireless telephone users a way to access Internet‐based content using their wireless telephone.
Co‐authored by bestselling WAP author, Steve Mann (Programming Applications with WAP) The Wireless Application Protocol provides the first non‐technical introduction to WAP. Covering the history and development of WAP, its key technologies, how WAP applies to enterprise and a summary of its current products and services this first Wiley Tech Brief answers questions that any manager, sales or marketing professional in the telecommunications industry will be starting to ask: what exactly is WAP? Does it work? Can my company derive any benefit from using WAP? Where can I find out more information about WAP products and services?
The Wireless Application Protocol provides an accessible getting‐started‐guide for anyone involved in any aspect of communications, the computer industry, the Internet or anyone just merely curious about the ensuing technology firestorm around us.
