(wireless application protocol)
Is a type of Internet connection. It makes the web more accessible. For example wireless Internet, for laptops and mobile phones. It is based on Internet standards. (HTML, XML and TCP/IP). A few examples of WAP that are useful -
- Checking train table information
- Ticket purchase
- Flight check in
- Viewing traffic information
- Checking weather conditions
- Looking up stock values
- Looking up phone numbers
- Looking up addresses
- Looking up sport results
- checking emails
(Global System for Mobile communications)
This is a protocol which is very popular in many different parts of the world. GSM digitizes and compresses data, then sends it down a channel with two other streams of user data, each in its own time slot. It operates at either the 900 MHz or 1800 MHz frequency band.
I found WAP easy to understand and write about, but with GCM I found it alot harder to understand. I think i will need to do more research into it to get a better understanding on what it is and what it does.
