Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a technical standard for accessing information over a wireless wireless network. A WAP browser is a web browser for mobile devices such as mobile phones that uses the protocol. Introduced with much hype in 1999, WAP achieved some popularity in the early 2000s, but by 2010 had been largely replaced by more modern standards. Most Internet browsers on modern phones fully support HTML, so you do not need to use WAP markup for web page compatibility, and most of them are no longer able to render and display pages written in WAP.
Prior to the introduction of WAP, mobile service providers had limited opportunities to offer interactive data services, but they needed interactivity to support Internet and Web applications such as e-mail, stock prices, news and sports headlines. The Japanese i-mode system offered another important wireless competitor data protocol.
WAP layers are:
• Wireless Application Environment (WAE)
• Wireless Session Layer (WSL)
• Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS)
• Wireless Transport Layer (WTP)
The WAP was conceived by four companies: Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia and Unwired Planet (now Phone.com). Wireless Dialing Language (WML) is used to create pages that can be delivered over WAP.
