REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.-After introducing the architecture for the Wireless Application Protocol last September, collaborators L.M. Ericsson, Motorola Inc., Nokia Corp. and Unwired Planet Inc. announced they established a new company called Wireless Application Protocol Forum Ltd.
According to the companies, WAP is meant to bring Internet content and advanced services to digital cellular phones and other wireless terminals. The WAP Forum aims to administer the worldwide WAP specification process in hopes of creating a global wireless protocol specification that works across different types of wireless network technologies.
The architecture of WAP was posted on the Internet for public review and comments Sept. 15. A complete draft of the detailed specifications will be available for review this month, the forum said.
Also, the WAP Forum said it encourages new members to join and contribute to the specification work and WAP evolution. Application details and forms can be found at http: www.wapforum.org.
