Easy create for WAP

Creating a WAP service is no harder than creating an Intranet/internet

 

service today since WML and WMLScript are based on well-known

 

internet technology. New market segments can be addressed by

 

launching innovative mobile Value Added Services.

Using standard tools

It is possible for the service creator to use standard tools like ASP or

 

CGI to generate content dynamically. You can utilize existing invest-

 

ments in databases etc. that are the basis of existing internet services.

 

Create a service once and make it accessible on a broad range of wire-

 

less networks.

Maintain customer base You can adapt existing internet services to WAP. The actual binary encoding can be handled by the WAP Gateway which makes it possible to create WAP applications using the text-based language WML and other tools. In fact, existing HTML-based applications on the internet can be viewed in the WAP browser, if an automatic conversion is per- formed in the WAP Gateway.

Improve productivity

Improve and simplify the communication flow within an organization

 

by making information available to mobile users. A company or orga-

 

nization can use a WAP gateway to provide a secure connection to the

 

company network for their users.

The WAP profiles

The T39 holds five WAP profiles, each with a group of network set-

 

tings and a home page. If you provide a corporate WAP service on your

 

Intranet, it is useful to enter an Intranet WAP profile in user phones.

 

The WAP profile holds network settings and user identification. The

 

users switch easily between the corporate services and WAP services

 

on the internet, simply by switching WAP profile.
