Using WAP in the T600/T602

The typical WAP client is a small, portable device which is connected to a wireless network. This includes mobile phones, pagers, smart phones, PDAs and other small devices. In these devices, you have a limited user interface, low memory and computing power compared to desktop and lap- top computers.

The WAP browser in the T600/T602 is designed for WML. It is suitable for interaction with cus- tomer services, e.g. ticket reservation. It is also handy when you want to access text-based infor- mation, such as timetables, share prices and exchange rates and Internet banking and other interactive services.

The built in WAP browser gives the user portable, fast and secure access to a wide variety of ser- vices, with the possibility of personalized ser- vices. WAP in the T600/T602 offers new opportunities to companies and service providers:

Bearer type

The T600/T602 accesses WAP over a standard GSM Data connection, including High Speed Data (HSCSD). (Network-dependent services.)

Connection-oriented

Supporting connection-oriented WAP, the T600/ T602 provides WAP browsing with a high reliabil- ity. Connectionless WAP is also supported.

Bandwidth efficiency

One of the key advantages WAP has over text- based HTML pages on mobile devices, is the bandwidth efficiency of communication. This is due partly to the fact that the WAP application is communicated to the wireless devices in the form of binary encoded data.

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.
