Abstract
While the evolution of cellular networks has resulted in many mobile services, such services are primarily for voice. Mobile phone users do have the desire to access the Internet. However, Internet protocols are not designed to operate efficiently over mobile networks. WAP, the standard developed by the WAP forum, addresses these issues nicely by adapting to the restrictions of the wireless network – low bandwidth, small display, limited input facilities, limited memory and CPU, and less connection stability. WAP interfaces with different entities through the use of a gateway/proxy and a set of lightweight data presentation/formatting scripts. Such scripts allow information to be formatted in such a manner that is suitable for transmission over wireless and for presentation on a small wireless device with limited display capability. In this paper, I will deal with the overall WAP model and architecture.

1. Introduction
While the evolution of cellular networks has resulted in many mobile services, such services are primarily for voice. Mobile phone users do have the desire to access the Internet. Hence, efforts were made to enhance the capability of mobile phones and devices. WAP is an open protocol for wireless multimedia messaging. WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) allows the design of advanced, interactive, and real-time mobile services, such as mobile banking or Internet-based news and travel services. [1]
The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) refers to a group of related technologies and protocols widely used as a de-facto standard protocol in providing Internet access to mobile phones or other thin-client devices. [3]
