Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(2)XR

This document describes the Cisco IOS WAP Gateway feature in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XR. It 
includes the following sections:

The Cisco IOS WAP Gateway is a software feature developed in compliance with Wireless Application 
Protocol (WAP) version 1.2. The software runs on the Cisco 3640 and 3660 routers. A Cisco router can 
be configured either as a dedicated gateway server, or as a multifunction box in conjunction with other 
Cisco IOS features.

The Cisco IOS WAP Gateway feature is an implementation of the gateway component of the WAP 
architecture. Companies can deploy the gateway to offer mobile employees and partners access to 
company-specific WAP content that resides on internal web servers. In the WAP architecture, WAP 
security exists from the client device to the gateway but not through to the WAP content server. The 
Cisco IOS WAP Gateway feature can be implemented on a trusted server behind the company firewall, 
at which point it can access secure web content servers.

WAP is a standard for the presentation and delivery of wireless information and telephony services on 
wireless devices. Using an architecture based on the established WWW model, WAP defines a set of 
protocols designed for use with mobile telephone technology and wireless devices.
