WAP services

The T226 supports WAP 1.2.1 browser and protocol stack, as well as WAP 2.0 browser (WML 1.3). WAP

2.0optimizes usage of higher bandwidths and packet- based connections of wireless networks.

The typical WAP client is a small, portable device connected to a wireless network. This includes mobile phones, pagers, smart phones, PDAs and other small devices. Of course, compared to desktop and laptop computers, these devices are limited by user interface, low memory and low computing power.

The WAP browser in the T226 is compliant with WAP

2.0and WAP 1.2.1. It includes WTLS class 3 as well as mechanisms for digital signatures. The T226 supports WML, XHTML, and iHTML. The WAP browser in the T226 is also designed to access information such as timetables, share prices, exchange rates, Internet banking and other interactive services. For more details, see “WAP browser technical data” on page 47.

Using WAP in the T226

The built-in WAP browser in the T226 gives the user portable, fast and secure access to a wide variety of services, including personalized services, with new opportunities for business, individuals and service providers:

Push services

Businesses and service providers can “push” content or service indications to work groups and/or customers. Examples of pushed content would be mail alerts, messaging, news, stock quotes, contacts, meeting requests, etc.

Support of XHTML

The WAP browser supports the markup languages of WAP 2.0 – XHTML Mobile Profile and XHTML Basic. These two subsets of the Web standard XHTML are supported by all major Web browsers. An XHTML page can be viewed in both the WAP browser and in any standard Web browser. All of the basic XHTML features are supported, including text, images, links, checkboxes, radio buttons, text areas, headings, horizontal rules and lists.

Support for cookies

This version of WAP has support for cookies (client based), an application used by Web sites to store site- specific information in the browser between visits to the site. Cookies give the site owner a possibility to see when a person has visited their site. They also save the user from having to enter the same information (e.g. the password or user ID) more than once. Cookies are often used by e-commerce sites (shopping carts and wish lists).

Sending bookmarks

WAP 2.0 enables the sending of bookmarks via SMS.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

WAP 2.0 enables CSS. CSS allows developers to specify the style of WAP page content such as font, spacing, etc. The T226 supports CSS, and with its color display, user presentation is further enhanced.

Provide settings

Using SMS messages, configuration settings can be sent over the air, OTA, so that the user does not need to configure the WAP access settings manually. WAP settings may also be customized by the operator. For more information, see “WAP operator technical data” on page 48.

Adapt to phone type

The User Agent Profile function allows WAP content to be automatically optimized for the T226 capabilities, ensuring the intended user experience.

Several bearer types

The T226 accesses WAP over a standard GSM Data connection as well as over a GPRS connection (network-dependent services.)

Bandwidth efficiency

Unlike traditional Internet services, WAP services are relayed to wireless devices as binary encoded data, maximizing bandwidth efficiency. A GPRS connection further increases efficiency.

Easy to create WAP pages

Creating a WAP service is no harder than creating an Internet/intranet service, since the markup languages (WML, WMLScript, XHTML Mobile Profile, and XHTML Basic) are based on well-known Internet languages such as HTML, XHTML, and JavaScript.

Using standard tools

Service creators can use standard tools such as ASP (Active Server Page) or CGI (Common Gateway Interface) to generate content dynamically. Services can be created once and then made accessible on a
