What is WAP Gteway?

 Introduction to WAP Gateway

WAP Gateways are pieces of software that typically sit on a carriers network and perform the specific function of translating  plain text WML in binary WML and binary HTTP requests into plain text HTTP Requests
Looking at if from the WAP device's side, since a WAP device can only understand WML in its tokenized/compiled/binary format, the function of the WAP gateway is to convert content into this format. Looking at it from the HTTP server's side, the WAP gateway can provide additional information about the WAP device through the HTTP headers, for instance the subscriber number of a WAP capable cellular phone, its cell id and even things like location information

WAP Gateway is the key element of any internet system connected to the wireless network. It ensures the connection and conversion of information between WAP devices and the web server
