Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)

Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a technology that allows phones and other mobile devices to access internet content and services efficiently. It converts standard web pages into a simplified format suitable for small screens and limited bandwidth, enabling users to browse websites, check emails, and use online apps on their devices. WAP acts like a bridge between the mobile device and the internet, ensuring that information is delivered quickly and reliably despite the device’s constraints. It was especially useful before smartphones became widespread, making mobile internet access more practical and accessible.
