broad range of wireless networks.

Existing services can be adapted to WAP. The necessary binary encoding is handled by a WAP Gateway, allowing HTML-based services to be viewed on the WAP browser of the T226. An XHTML page can be viewed in both the WAP browser and in any standard Web browser.

Improve productivity

A business can use a WAP gateway to provide a secure connection to its corporate network, improving internal communication flow by making information available to mobile as well as office users.

The WAP profiles

A WAP profile holds network settings and user identification, allowing the user to switch easily between corporate services and WAP services on the Internet, simply by switching WAP profile.

The T226 has dynamic WAP profile handling, which means that the user can add, edit and delete WAP profiles. The T226 has a maximum of 5 WAP profiles.

During WAP browsing, the options button on the T226 gives the user immediate access to a dynamic option menu for WAP services, similar to a right mouse click in PC programs.

Bearer type characteristics

The T226 accesses WAP services over IP. IP can be provided either over GSM Data or GPRS, depending on network services.

Typical differences which distinguish the bearer types are listed below.

GPRS access

The connection is maintained “constantly”, with data transmitted in packets, and transmission capacity being used by the application in use on an as-needed basis.

Higher transmission speed than with GSM Data or SMS access.

Pricing of GPRS can be dependent on the actual use of bandwidth, which means the user is charged for the volume of data transmitted, rather than the duration of the connection.

When transmitting large amounts of data, band- width can be increased automatically to allow faster transmission speed.

Ideal for complex pull services, browsing, data transfer, provisioning, pager services, messag-

ing services, info services, push initiations.

GSM data access

Circuit connection of data calls, which means that the phone is connected during the entire WAP session.

Pricing is comparable to that of data calls in the network.

Gateway characteristics

A WAP Gateway provides Internet/intranet as well as WAP services to the mobile browser. A Gateway is identified by an IP number, depending on access type.

End-to-end gateway navigation

The WAP 2.0 supports E2E (End-to-End) Gateway navigation, making it possible for example for a bank to redirect its clients from the Internet gateway to its own gateway.

Security using WAP

For certain WAP services, such as banking services, a secure connection between the phone and WAP gateway is necessary. An icon in the display of the T226 indicates when a secure connection is in use.

The T226 is based on the WAP 1.2.1 specification suite, in which security functionality is specified by a technology called Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS). The WAP protocols for handling connection, transport and security are structured in layers, with security handled by the WTLS layer, operating above the transport protocol layer. WTLS classes define the levels of security for a WTLS connection:

WTLS class 1 – encryption with no authentica- tion.

WTLS class 2 – encryption with server authen- tication.

WTLS class 3 – encryption with both server and client authentication.
