You must have heard this everywhere. You don't have a clue but you are afraid to ask your friend and make a fool of yourself. Here is the answer.

You must have heard that one can access the internet via cell phones. You can read your e-mail through the phone. And you have wondered how is this possible. It is possible through WAP.

WAP technology is used to display text portions of web pages on cellular phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) via wireless access. WML(Wireless Markup Language) pages are carried from the server to the client over WAP - a communications protocol and an application environment used to standardise the way wireless devices like cellular phones can be used for Internet access.

HTML web sites can be converted into WML by designing the content in WML form or by going in for common XML based development that can be used for both HTML and WML content.

Since WAP phones have small memory capacities, hardware engineers will be required to create better memory systems. Well-trained IT professionals who can develop embedded software (software embedded in the hardware), telecom software solutions, and establish and maintain communication network will play a crucial role, too.

This field requires you to be a B.E / B.Tech / MCA / M.E / M.Tech in electronics/communications or computer science or a diploma holder in communications/electronics.
