This translates pages into a form suitable for the mobiles, for instance using the Wireless Markup Language (WML).
This process is hidden from the phone, so it may access the page in the same way as a browser accesses HTML, using a URL (for example, http://example.com/foo.wml), provided the mobile phone operator has not specifically prevented this.
WAP gateway software encodes and decodes requests and responses between the smartphones, microbrowser and internet.
It also encodes the WML and HDML data returning from the web for transmission to the microbrowser in the handset.
