cairnsconnect
mobile utilizes WAP (Wirless Application Protocol) technology
to deliver local information services to mobile phone users in Australia
and overseas.
Currently
cairnsconnect mobile offers access to the following content:
- Local
Weather
- Local
Time
- News
- Driving
Times
- Important
Telephone Numbers
- World Time
Zones
Over
the next couple of months we will be working to both improve these
services and bring new services online.
Wireless Access Protocol enables mobile phones equipped with the
appropriate microbrowser to access Web pages coded using WML (Wireless
Mark Up Language) from the public Internet. The Wireless Application
Protocol is a secure specification that allows users to access information
instantly via handheld wireless devices such as mobile phones, pagers,
two-way radios, smartphones and communicators. Although WAP supports
HTML and XML, the WML language (an XML application) is specifically
devised for small screens and one-hand navigation without a keyboard.
WML is scalable from two-line text displays up through graphic screens
found on items such as smart phones and communicators.
1.
Get a WAP enabled handset / device
To view cairnsconnect mobile content you will need a WAP-enabled
device such as a mobile phone. Some current mobile phones supporting
WAP include the Ericsson R320, Nokia 7110, Motorola L Series +,
Siemens S35i, and many more.
2.
Connect to a carrier that supports access
Currently only Telstra,
Vodafone,
Optus and
OneTel offer
WAP services to their customers. However, within this service the
carrier has the ability to decide what WAP content you can access.
cairnsconnect mobile is a free service, however it is up
to your carrier to "permit" you to access it. Only Telstra,
and Vodafone
allow their customers to view any wap enabled site they wish, including
cairnsconnect mobile.
