Wireless Microservers

Overview The wireless application protocol is an industry-wide standard to connect mobile phones to the Web. It is designed especially for the mobile phone environment and its limited battery power and memory, small display, and low transmission rates. Similar to the Japanese I-mode, WAP provides Web access for mobile devices. Usually, browsers directly request HTML content from a Web server using HTTP. A typical WAP infrastructure also needs HTTP, but the WAP protocol stack and the WML (Wireless Markup Language) are tailored for the limited transmission capacity and resources of mobile devices.
