WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)

The WAP creates a common “language” for internet-connected devices to communicate and exchange data. WAP is an open, universal protocol and is not owned or controlled by any single company or group.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)
WAP supported the rise of new and improved wireless data services on mobile devices around the turn of the 21st century. However, technological advancements made WAP technology largely obsolete by the early 2010s. For example, modern web browsers now use HTML for displaying web pages and no longer support the alternative WAP markup language.
