What is Wireless Web

• The concept is very simple allow people to
  access the Internet from cellular phones,
  handheld computers and other portable gadgets.
• All internet applications are accessible.
• The technology used is WAP, HDML, WML, Bluetooth,
  Java and others.

In today's busy world, many people delight in the
ability to use new technologies any where at any
time. More and more people are using the Internet
through wireless browsers
3
WAP

• WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol.
• The idea comes from the wireless industry, from
  companies such as Phone.com, Nokia and Ericsson.
  The point of this standard is to serve internet
  contents and internet services to wireless
  clients, Wap devices, such as mobile phones and
  terminals.

4
WML

• WML stands for Wireless Markup Language, and is
  what HTML is to a web browser. It is based on
  XML, or rather it is an XML application. If
  youre going from HTML to WML, with no prior
  knowledge of XML, chances are youll find WML
  very strict. Just like HTML and XML, WML is
  read and interpreted by a browser built into the
  WAP device.

5
HTML vs HDML

• HTML sites are viewed from your desktop and
  contain color and graphics. In order to
  accommodate wireless requirements, HDML (Handheld
  Device Markup Language) was created to view some
  of your same favorite web sites in a text only
  format on a handheld device.

Why Go Wireless

• The internet has been the subject of discussion
  for common a person then anything else since its
  introduction. The new economy offers many new
  ways of distinguishing and ability to move
  forward in the fast-paced B2B (Business to
  Business) market. The competition is getting
  tougher as the marketing machines gear up for the
  latest and greatest techno marvel, the Wireless
  Web. Wereless web isnt the new concept but for a
  common person its really hard to understand
  sometimes. We are not over understanding the
  difference between a PC and a Mac but
  introduction of new and latest technology
  confuses us even more. My purpose here is to
  introduce you to this new technology with an
  example provider , Sprint PCS.

What is 3G

• 3G is Third Generation Wireless
• The First generation was analog
• The Second generation was digital (CDMA, TDMA and
  GSM)
• The Third generation are expected to provide
  broadband, high-speed data applications both
  fixed and mobile. Third Generation (3G) is an
  industry term for a collection of international
  standards and technologies targeted at increasing
  efficiency and improving the performance of
  mobile wireless networks. The International Tele
  communication Union developed this family of
  standards, which is referred to as IMT 2000.

11
What is 3G Cellphone Technology?

• It is common to hear others talking about the new
  3G cell phones, and 3G technology for wireless.
  What exactly is it? 3G is a term for a collection
  of standards and technologies which will be used
  in the near future to enhance performance,
  particularly on 3g cell phone networks and
  increase data speed. A 3G cell phone would be
  compatible with any of the languages or standards
  which support enhanced data speeds. One such
  standard is CDMA 2000 1X.
• 3G is an International Telecommunication Union
  specification for the third generation (1G was
  analog cellular, 2G was digital PCS) of mobile
  communications technology. 3G wireless promises
  increased bandwidth of up to 384 Kbps when a
  device is stationary or moving at pedestrian
  speed, 128 Kbps in a car, and 2 Mbps in fixed
  applications. 3G will work over wireless air
  interfaces such as WCDMA, GSM(GPRS), and TDMA.
  The new EDGE (for Enhanced Data for GSM
  Environment air interface has been developed
  specifically to meet the bandwidth needs of 3G
  cell phones. Some argue true 3G cell phones and
  3g networks will not be in place for a long time,
  years in fact. Others say 3G cell phones are here
  or coming this season.

12

• With 3g cell phones, you will eventually enjoy
  new features such as enhanced email, instant
  messaging and faster web browsing with wireless
  web with greater speed and efficiency. as the
  technologies become available to you, you will
  also be able to to make purchases, manage
  financial information, do on line banking and
  electronic fund transfers, view video clips and
  even play on line games with 3G cell phones.
  Cool!
• When 3G technology becomes available, you will
  will still be able to use your cell phone from
  today to make and receive calls. Should you
  choose to take full advantage of all of the 3G
  features, you will need to have a 3G voice and
  data compatible cell phone. 3G technology will
  become fully available sometime between now and
  2004. Fully 3G compatible 3G cell phones are
  available to the consumer now through Sprint and
  Verizon.

13
Sprint PCS

• In order for best understand the Sprint Wireless
  Web, we have to first understand what exactly is
  Sprint PCS and what kind of system are they
  using.
• Sprint is a global communication company serving
  26 million business and residential customers in
  more than 70 countries. With approximately 75,000
  employees world wide and 26Billion in annual
  revenues.
• Sprint PCS operates the largest all-digital
  wireless network in the United States
• Sprint offers the largest selection of
  Internet-ready phones.
• Sprint uses Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)

14
Why CDMA

• Leading 3G standards are based on CDMA
  technology. (However, other standards are based
  on FDMA/TDMA and TDMA-SC.) Sprint has adopted the
  CDMA-based 3G standard known as CDMA2000. Another
  CDMA- based 3G standard is WCDMA, or wideband
  CDMA.
• Some GSM and TDMA carriers will be adapting their
  networks to function using WCDMA for 3G
  applications. The cost of adopting WCDMA is
  considerably greater for other carriers than that
  of CDMA2000 for Sprint. 3G offers greater data
  speeds and increased network capacity for both
  voice and data. 3G operates on a packet-based
  network to transmit data, as opposed to todays
  circuit-switched networks.

Sierra 510 AirCard Wireless Web Modem

• The AirCard 510 is the first Type II compatible
  CDMA PC Card modem. This means it fits many
  existing laptops and mobile devices currently in
  use. It is simple to install, use, and comes with
  all the necessary software, and connects a user's
  laptop or PDA to the corporate intranet, e-mail,
  incoming SMS or short message service.

23

• This wireless modem kit uses its own phone
  number, leaving your cellphone for voice calls.
  It is a compatibleType II PC Card design
  incorporating a patented, internally stored
  antenna for easy handling, rapid deployment and
  connection for your Laptop with a type II
  external port. Wireless Modem Kit includes an
  AirCard 510 modem, one CD-ROM which contains the
  Watcher program, a quick reference guide, a user
  guide, and user documentation materials. It also
  contains the Bluekite Compression software
  enabling your to cruise the web at up to 5 times
  your modem speed.
• What is a type II external port? That's where
  mobile workers can plug in their external CD-ROM,
  or 2 1/2 inch drive. It is a widely used standard
  port, and there are adapters and all sorts of
  cables and devices which can be plugged into it.
  It is the port which looks almost like it could
  accept a 2 1/2 inch disk, with a stretch of the
  imagination.

24

• The software for this modem is very easy to
  install. An Installation Wizard will walk you
  thru all phases of installation, to get you up
  and running. You will want to have the User Guide
  handy for any questions you may have along the
  way, and if there is a particular URL or address
  at a corporate intranet, you will want to have
  that address handy, so you can enter it into
  Preferences. Preferences can easily be adjusted
  in the future at Start menu. You will be able to
  monitor signal strength during use, and control
  settings and connections. If you need Dial-Up
  Networking DUN sessions, use the connections
  manager to set the appropriate changes. Dial-Up
  Networking is covered in the users manual, and
  this device is compatible with other DUN type
  devices.
• The antenna hides nicely within the modem for
  protection, and can easily be replaced if broken.
  Contact your friendly Sprint Business Sales
  Associate, for information regarding parts
  availability. Power boosters do not seem to have
  any effect on signal strength, or are
  incompatible. This wireless modem uses the 1900
  MegaHertz band.

25

• The data rate is 14.4 kps, or kilobytes per
  second. It can be compressed with special v.42bis
  software provided by Sprint or other sources.
  E-mail me if you need the current address or URL
  for compression software. Compression software
  enhances your laptop effective modem speed
  potential to 56 kilobits per second. Faster
  modems should be released before May of 2002. The
  modem is compatible with standard RAS type
  modem-pools, and corporate servers. Use of this
  wireless modem seems to subtract approximately
  one tenth of the overall battery longevity per
  cycle.
• It is an easy matter to allow for receiving and
  sending faxes. The mobile worker can simply check
  off in Preferences, that the laptop will be used
  for sending and/or receiving faxes. The modem can
  then answer or send calls in fax format.
• There are 2 COM ports. There is a serial port,
  and the modem port. The serial port is good for
  items like monitoring status, signal strength or
