WAP & GSM


WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol and is mainly used for web access in mobile phones.
Most of today's mobile phones, smartphones and PDAs come with a built in WAP browser. With a WAP browser, you can access dedicated WAP pages while on the move.
As WAP phones have smaller screens, content is oftenly fairly basic, so pages are quite efficient and downloaded quickly.

GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communications and is the most popular standard for mobile telephony systems in the world.
GSM differs from its predecessor technologies in that both signaling and speech channels are digital, and thus GSM is considered second generation (2G) mobile phone system.

  1. This is very brief and will need to be added to. I want to find out what you know from your research on these two protocols.
