Variable	Value	Description
		The pair is separated with space.
		Adds a single mapping for the
		left side URL to the given
		destination. If you append an
		asterisk ‘*’ to the left side URL,
		its preﬁx Is matched against the
		incoming URL. Whenever the
		preﬁx matches, the URL will be
		replaced completely by the right
		side. In addition, if if you append
		an asterisk to the right side URL,
		the part of the incoming URL
		coming after the preﬁx, will be
		appended to the right side URL.
		Thus, for a line: map-url =
		"http://source/*
		http://destination/*" and an
		incoming URL of
		"http://source/some/path", the
		result will be
map-url	URL-pair	"http://destination/some/path"
		If you need more than one
		mapping, set this to the highest
		number mapping you need. The
		default gives you 10 mappings,
		numbered from 0 to 9. Default: 9
map-url-max	number
		Adds a mapping for the left side
		URL to the given destination
		URL. Repeat these lines, with 0
		replaced by a number up to
		map-url-max, if you need several
map-url-0	URL-pair	mappings.
		Adds a mapping for the URL
		DEVICE:home (as sent by
		Phone.com browsers) to the
		given destination URL. There is
		no default mapping. NOTE: the
		mapping is added with both
		asterisks, as described above for
		the "map-url" setting. Thus, the

WAP and SMS gateway specifications

Nokia has long been a pivotal player in the telecommunications industry, and its contributions to mobile communication technology are numerous. Among these contributions, the Nokia WAP and SMS Gateway stand out as essential elements in enabling mobile internet access and messaging services in the early days of wireless communication.

The Nokia WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) gateway was introduced to facilitate mobile access to the internet and to allow users to interact with web services through their mobile devices. Built on a client-server architecture, the WAP gateway acted as a bridge between the mobile network and the internet, translating traditional web content into a format that mobile devices could effectively render. This conversion was crucial, given the limitations of early mobile devices regarding screen size, processing power, and network bandwidth.

One of the main features of the Nokia WAP gateway was its ability to provide users with real-time access to information such as weather updates, news, and stock prices. By using a lightweight markup language called WML (Wireless Markup Language), the gateway allowed developers to create mobile-friendly websites that could be accessed via WAP-enabled devices. This marked a significant step toward the mobile internet we know today, creating a new realm of possibilities for developers and users alike.

Another critical aspect of Nokia's offering was the SMS (Short Message Service) gateway. The SMS gateway provided a robust platform for sending and receiving text messages across various mobile networks. It enabled seamless communication between devices, regardless of the underlying technology. This feature made SMS a popular choice for both personal communication and business applications, such as marketing campaigns and customer service notifications.

The Nokia SMS gateway utilized established protocols, such as SMPP (Short Message Peer-to-Peer), to ensure reliable message delivery and efficient interaction between SMS applications and mobile networks. Its characteristics included scalability, allowing service providers to handle large volumes of messages, and flexibility to integrate with existing applications and systems.

In summary, the Nokia WAP and SMS gateway played a vital role in the evolution of mobile communication. With features that enabled mobile internet access and streamlined messaging capabilities, these technologies laid the groundwork for the mobile-centric world we live in today. Their legacy continues to influence mobile application development and the broader telecommunications landscape. As the industry progresses, the innovations introduced by Nokia serve as a reminder of the foundational technologies that paved the way for modern mobile experiences.
