WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) is a new technology that is highly publicised in the last few months. What is it?

It provides an exciting opportunity to distribute existing services and to develop totally new ones. As a market leader, JobsDB.com is committed to develop its product and distribution in order to provide an unique and professional service to both clients and job seekers. "The biggest hurdle in integrating this new technology to our existing system, was testing the program. We used the simulator to test and it worked out fine. However, we encounter some errors when we tested it on a WAP phone," says Anthony Yuen, Director of JobsDB.com and is in charge of the development of JobsDB.com's WAP-based service. "The next challenge was working together with Hutchison's technical team to integrate the program into their system."
