“wap”

This is a noun that many people born in the 10s have never heard of, and many people born in the 2000s don’t even know it, but it is indeed the initial understanding of the post-90s’ online experience on mobile phones.

So the question is, what is wap?

Simply put, wap is a communication protocol, which is between the Internet and mobile devices. If a user wants to access the Internet through a mobile device, he must use the wap protocol to access it.

To put it simply, wap is actually the protocol used by mobile phones to access the Internet. Once the wap function is available, the mobile phone can access the Internet directly.

From this we can imagine how shocking it was when Boss Jia held Daqian6 in his hand and then demonstrated to all the audience, logging in to 51 to search the website through the Daqian6 mobile phone screen.

This shock is unimaginable.

Although many mobile phone industry insiders know that mobile phone Internet access has emerged, they did not expect that Daqian actually installed the wap Internet access function on Daqian 6, which caught global mobile phone manufacturers off guard.

I think the screen of Daqian6 phone clearly shows the main business of 51 search... Although it is related to the mobile phone screen, the entire web page is very deformed, and at the same time, many pictures are almost gone.

But this is indeed not wrong when logging in to the web page. Boss Jia even personally demonstrated the function of searching key information on the Internet if 51 search is used.

Immediately afterwards, Boss Jia announced that Daqian Mobile and 51 Search have reached a comprehensive strategic partnership. 51 Search will launch a special wap web page at the same time. This is a wap web page specially designed to facilitate mobile browsing, which can allow mobile phone users to use 51 to search more easily.

At the same time, 51 Search will also launch the function of 51 Encyclopedia simultaneously. According to Boss Jia's description, this is an existence similar to an online encyclopedia. The employees of 51 Search have manually entered 300,000 different noun encyclopedias. Most common things in the world can be found on 51 Encyclopedia.

However, this is not enough for the function of an online encyclopedia, so 51 Encyclopedia will open the member editing function. All certified members can add nouns and explanations on 51 Encyclopedia that have not yet logged into 51 Encyclopedia.

At the beginning, the audience was not very familiar with this function and felt that this 51 encyclopedia seemed to be of no use.

But when Daqian released a special promotional video, the protagonist in the promotional video was participating in an interview, an interview facing his future father-in-law.

This interview seems to be an expert scholar, and he speaks of various proprietary terms, many of which have never been heard of, and it is obviously making things difficult for this prospective son-in-law.

But he answered it smoothly, and finally won the favor of his father-in-law, making his father-in-law feel that his daughter had found a learned boyfriend and happily agreed to their relationship.

But at the end of the promotional video, you can see from the side that the daughter who seems to be playing with her phone is actually using 51 Encyclopedia to search for various proprietary terms her father-in-law said, and then put the phone in a position where her boyfriend can see it, so that her boyfriend can have a smooth answer with her father-in-law.

This promotional short video made many people instantly understand the value of 51 Encyclopedia. In this way, as long as there is a mobile phone that can access the Internet, you can instantly get the answer once you face any blind spots in your knowledge. This is simply the best encyclopedia in the world!

Of course, there are many videos to demonstrate the various functions of mobile WAP Internet access. Because Boss Jia comes from later generations, he naturally knows how important and how integrated the subsequent mobile network is.

Therefore, the promotional videos of these mobile phone network applications brought all the audience to their enthusiasm, and they became particularly jealous of a mobile phone that could access the Internet.

Finally, after Boss Jia’s introduction, it was time to ask questions freely. As a result, the first person to get the right to ask questions was not the reporter, but the technical management news release of Nokia.

Originally, Nokia people came to attend the press conference and were already a little embarrassed to say it. He shouldn't have come out to ask questions, but he still stood up because he had to ask Jia Yapeng in person.

"Mr. Jia, did you make this wap by yourself? Why has our entire industry association never had any relevant news? Is your wap involved in plagiarizing our wap?!" The engineer asked angrily.

Of course he was angry.

Because surfing the Internet on mobile phones is not a genius creative idea of ​​Boss Jia. In fact, since 1995, mobile phone networks have been realized by various mobile phone manufacturers. However, all mobile phone manufacturers generally believe that in an era when computer networks are not suitable enough, using low-level screens like mobile phones to access the Internet is simply a fantasy.

In the next 20 years, mobile phones will not have the value of actual use.

However, the mobile phone industry still made technical reserves. Historically, major mobile phone industries such as Motorola, Ericsson, and Nokia founded the wap forum in 1997, and then in 1999, Nokia launched the world's first mobile phone with wap function.

So from this point of view, it seems that the appearance of Boss Jia has made WAP fall behind.

This is true. In another world, the reason why wap was able to appear in 1997 was because at that time, G** network base stations unified the world, and CDMA base stations had almost no sense of existence, so wap can be directly relied on G** base stations to use, which is very versatile.

However, in this era, CDMA was born early. Although G** base stations also occupy most of the market, there is only about 60% in total. It is difficult for a WAP to meet the needs of all base stations.

It is precisely because of this that companies such as Nokia in this world are not very interested in wap research and development, because in their opinion, even if wap is developed, it will be difficult to promote globally.

However, by 1998, Nokia and other companies had already realized this, so they also began to develop wap and match various protocols.

In another world, wap's R&D and design are actually public. At that time, Motorola, Ericsson, and Nokia jointly created the wap forum. This forum is open to all mobile phone industry insiders around the world. The progress of wap's R&D is also completely public, without any patent restrictions, so wap easily dominated the entire world, and all mobile phones use wap online.

But in this world, the three of their companies have left a small eye, that is, they want to hide wap as their trump card to deal with Daqian.

According to their original plans, their wap mobile phones will be officially launched in 2001 and become the first batch of mobile phones in the world with Internet access capabilities. They can call Daqian, a mobile phone that cannot access the Internet, and even require them to authorize wap patents and technology for Daqian to use.
