The new wireless technology enablers • WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) • UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) and Media Phones Kalle Lyytinen
What Is WAP ? The WAP (wireless application protocol) is a specification for a set of communication protocols to standardize the way that wireless devices, such as cellular telephones and radioTransceivers, can be used for internet access, including e-mail, the world wide web, Newsgroups, and internet relay chat (IRC). Kalle Lyytinen
What is WAP (2) WAP specifies means for offering mobile internet services: • Vendor independence (open standard) • For mobile terminals • Assumes slower and lower reliability in connections Kalle Lyytinen
What is WAP ? (3) • Compatibility is ensured: • all digital mobile networks including: • GSM-900, GSM-1800, GSM-1900 ,CDMA IS-95 TDMA IS-136 • 3G systems - IMT-2000, UMTS, W-CDMA, Wideband IS-95GSM, DCS, DCMA, WCDMA • WWW bases standards and protocols • in future UMTS and other 3G will bring only more bandwitdth, but the service level will remain the same (WAP) Kalle Lyytinen

WAP server • platform on which software houses can develop WAP based services • creates a new channel for any type of internet based access • can be used for extranet, intranet and internet based services (connections to Lotus Notes, R3 etc) • generates service requests to a WWW-server or includes itself a MMM-server • Nokia Beta release of the servers available at www.nokia.com/corporate/wap/gateway.html Kalle Lyytinen
Features of WAP service • closer to browsing but services more limited due to narrow keyboard and display • user does not have to remember keywords or passwords- can be merged into service portals (ZED) • outlook weblike • both push and pull on demand like in SMS • can utilize forms, icons and pictures • use of hyperslinks possible • WAP services can utilize phone control features that can be found in GSM Kalle Lyytinen

Types of mobile terminals • Portable computers • Communicators • Personal Digital Assistant+mobile phone (or a PCMCIA card able to transmit data) • WAP phones • like Nokia 7110 • Normal GSM phones with text messages Kalle Lyytinen
Characteristics of the Communicator • (Nokia 9000, 9110i) • free memory 2 (+10) MB • Internet protocol stack (TCP/IP) run over GSM data circuits (modem access to Internet service provider) • a simple WWW browser • HTTP, Telnet, SMTP, Terminal protocols • business cards, clock, etc • displays are fairly small (120 x 35 mm) Kalle Lyytinen
WAP-phones • Wireless Application Protocol environment • microbrowser interpreting Wireless Mark-Up Language (WML) • applications can be written with WML • WAP protocol stack support (not directly IP-support) • small displays (almost like in a voice phone) • memory: ca 1 MB Kalle Lyytinen
