Challenges for a Wireless Banking

It reduces the cost of operation
for bankers in comparison to the
use of ATMs.

SMS or
through WAP.

14. Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is
an open international standard for
application-layer network
communications in a wireless-
communication environment.
Most use of WAP involves accessing the
mobile web from a mobile phone or from
a PDA.
WAP

15. A WAP browser provides all of the basic
services of a computer-based web
browser but simplified to operate within
the restrictions of a mobile phone, such
as its smaller view screen. Users can
connect to WAP sites: websites written
in, or dynamically converted to, WML
(Wireless Markup Language) and
accessed via the WAP browser.
WAP

16. The WAP standard describes a protocol
suite that allows the interoperability of
WAP equipment and software with
many different network technologies,
thus allowing the building of a single
platform for competing network
technologies such as GSM and IS-95
(also known as CDMA) networks.

incorporated into
the specification to
allow WAP content
to be pushed to the
mobile handset with
minimum user
intervention. A WAP
Push is basically a
specially encoded
message which
includes a link to a
WAP address.

service offering from banks to its
customers, permitting them to operate
selected banking services over their
mobile phones using SMS messaging.
SMS banking services are operated using
both push and pull messages.
