I’m reading about how to set up wireless applications using ASP.NET, such as in the following link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/06/mobile/default.aspx
Most of the article talks about authoring the application which is great. It is also the most straightforward piece of the puzzle, especially for someone like me who is coming from the desktop client development world. I need to find a good walkthrough on the technologies I’m unfamiliar with.
In a typical WAP setup, it looks like you have three components, each with double arrows (to/from) between them as follows:
Mobile Phone <-> WAP Gateway Server <->Web Application Server.
The information I’m missing is the connectivity between each component. What sends and receives data between the WAP Gateway Server and the Mobile Phone. What is the technology called and how does it “hook up” (in a wireless way of course.)
Similarly, I’m interested in how a WAP Gateway server connects to the Web Application Server, and what information needs to go back and forth. I’m assuming this is a wired connection.
Why are most links to wireless development so old (2001?) Has there not been much movement in the industry since these technologies were established?
