Improve productivity
A business can use a WAP gateway to provide a 
secure connection to its corporate network, 
improving internal communication flow by making 
information available to mobile as well as office 
users.
The WAP profiles 
A WAP profile holds network settings and user 
identification, allowing the user to switch easily 
between corporate services and WAP services on 
the Internet, simply by switching WAP profile.
The Z600 has dynamic WAP profile handling, which 
means that the user can add, edit and delete WAP 
profiles. There are up to 5 WAP profiles.
During WAP browsing, the options button gives the 
user immediate access to a dynamic option menu 
for WAP services, similar to a mouse right-click in 
PC programs.
Bearer type characteristics
The Z600 accesses WAP services over IP. IP can 
be provided either over GSM Data, HSCSD or 
GPRS, depending on network services.
Typical differences which distinguish the bearer 
types are listed below.
High Speed Data
High Speed Data (HSCSD) increases speeds for 
circuit switched data by allowing the phone to use 
a coding scheme with a high capacity, and to use 
two time slots for receiving data. The download 
speed is increased to up to 28,800 bps. The speed 
for sending data is limited to 14,400 bps. The data 
rate can be increased several times by the use of 
rate adaption, interworking with ISDN. This also 
provides additional features, such as quick call set-
up capability.
GPRS access
The connection is maintained “constantly”, with 
data transmitted in packets, and transmission 
capacity being used by the application in use on an 
as-needed basis.
Higher transmission speed than with GSM Data or 
SMS access.
Pricing of GPRS can be dependent on the actual 
use of bandwidth, which means the user is charged 
for the volume of data transmitted, rather than the 
duration of the connection.
When transmitting large amounts of data, band-
width can be increased automatically to allow 
faster transmission speed.
Ideal for complex pull services, browsing, data 
transfer, provisioning, pager services, messaging 
services, info services, push initiations.
GSM data access
Circuit connection of data calls, which means that 
the phone is connected during the entire WAP ses-
sion.
Pricing is comparable to that of data calls in the 
network.
Gateway characteristics
A WAP Gateway provides Internet/intranet as well 
as WAP services to the mobile browser. A Gateway 
is identified by an IP number, depending on access 
type.
End-to-end gateway navigation
The WAP 2.0 supports E2E (End-to-End) Gateway 
navigation, making it possible for example for a 
bank to redirect its clients from the Internet gate-
way to its own gateway.
