	Wireless Application Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		WAP is a protocol suite created for mobile devices such as PDAs and mobile phones, aiming at giving their users a richer data application experience that would enable "access to the Internet".
		The WAP Forum proposed a protocol suite that would allow the interoperability of WAP equipment and software with many different network technologies; the rationale for this was to build a single platform for competing network technologies such as GSM and IS-95 (also known as CDMA) networks.
		WAP on top of the CDMA2000 network has been proven to be the state of the art wireless data infrastructure.

	Wireless Application Protocol
		WAP is forced to address several issues that affect service due to the nature of the wireless network medium, specifically low bandwidth, high latency, and unreliable connections.
		WAP is the product of the WAP Forum, a coalition of wireless service providers in response to the potential for providing data services over wireless devices such as cellular phones and personal data assistants (PDAs).
		The WAP protocol specifications were designed to optimize and extend existing Internet standards, as well as evolve to accommodate emerging technologies.

	Wireless Developer Network - WAP Overview
		The Wireless Application Protocol is a standard developed by the WAP Forum, a group founded by Nokia, Ericsson, Phone.com (formerly Unwired Planet), and Motorola.
		WAP is a young technology that is certain to mature as the wireless data industry as a whole matures; however, even as it exists today, it can be used as an extremely powerful tool in every software developer’s toolbox.
		WAP allows a further extension of this concept as existing “server” layers can be reused and extended to reach out to the vast array of wireless devices in business and personal use today.
