Mobile Phones Accessing the Internet
Think about how the Internet currently works.The Internet utilizes two types of computers--servers and clients.Servers are the computers that host or send the pages that we view .The clients are our PC’s or the computers that we view these pages by the use of browser(ex.Internet Explorer , Netscape Navigator) from the server.WAP technology works much in the same as client-server approach.The difference is that , instead of accessing the internet from our PC’s, we are using mobile phones which should have simple micro browser.The mobile phones become our clients . Servers are still hosting the pages that we view . In order to connect mobile networks to the Internet , a WAP Gateway must exist.In addition , the mobile phone we are using as our client must be WAP-enabled , and the website one is viewing from the internet must be in a WAP-format.
WAP Gate Way
A WAP Gate way is an intermediary between the Internet and the mobile phone network.When we send information from Mobile phone to the Internet , it goes to WAP Gateway and it converts our WAP request from the Mobile phone into a Web request.And also, a WAP Gateway converts a web request when sending information from Internet to mobile phone so that all WAP enabled device can receive them.
Mobile Phone must be WAP-enabled
Mobile phones that are WAP-enabled means that only mobile phones that have been built with WAP technology built into them will be able to access the Internet.Many mobile phone manufactures such as Ericsson,Motorola and Nokia are already offering WAP-enabled mobile phones.These WAP-enabled mobile phones have built in microbrowser with WAP technology to access the Internet.
