WAP
WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol; it is the wireless equivalent of the HTTP protocol - the method by which computers wired to the Internet communicate with each other. Websites are written in HTML, a WAP site is written in WML; Wireless Mark-up Language.
 
Contrary to the claims of certain mobile telecommunications companies, WAP is not, at least not yet, 'the Internet on a mobile phone'. Currently, WAP services comprise text-based information available on a WAP-enabled mobile phone.
 
We can adapt your existing site into WAP format, or alternatively produce a bespoke application to suit the needs of you and your customers.
 
 
 
 
 
Security
A company can use a WAP site as a secure area to store names, addresses and appointments of business contacts, updated by administration at head office and, using password protection, accessible on a WAP-enabled mobile phone by the company's sales staff while out on-the-road.
 
Integrated Content
The WAP service is an ideal medium for displaying frequently updated information - for example public transport operators, information based companies and events news.
 
Using an SMS server, a business can also target specific customers with a text message alerting the message receiver to product promotions, new deals and custom offers.
