WAP Testing Patent

WAP is an important feature in the mobile world, enabling subscribers to access a great variety of services and on-line information. The WAP access is done across several entities: the WAP stack in the subscriber device (e.g. a handy), a WAP gateway in the network, and the WAP server where the desired information or service resides.

Recently the innnovative Ascom Patent for a WAP testing method was granted officially. The patented method logs at different points in the access chain, whereby possible problems can be detected and analysed. An example would be the delay or errors introduced by the WAP gateway, while it is re-formatting the information to suit a particular subscriber device.

The same approach is in use in the Ascom Symphony range of test systems, where log information from WAP stacks are recorded and analysed, thus enabling the user to pin-point problems and investigate solutions. In the Symphony range, the WAP tests can be carried out in the QVoice Symphony and QVoice Companion systems, which are in use worldwide for mobile network measurements and testing.
