Handsets are no longer limited to WAP for accessing the mobile Internet. Most new handsets come preloaded with fully functional web browsers that reach the Internet using the standard HTTP protocol and can display rich XHTML content, just like web browsers on a PC.
Network traffic originated by laptops and PDAs with 2.5G/3G cellular data connectivity is increasing and new forms of data traffic like audio and video streaming are getting more prevalent. Now is the time to take advantage of the convergence of WAP and Internet technologies and deploy a future-proof solution for mobile Internet traffic from Real.
