The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is the de-facto world standard for the presentation and delivery of wireless information and telephony services on mobile devices. It is an open specification that defines both a communications protocol and an application environment. It solves the transport and content problems of the constrained wireless environment, bringing Internet content and advanced data services to mobile devices. WAP is based on existing Internet standards, such as IP, HTTP, and Extensible Markup Language (XML). Additionally, WAP sits on top of existing bearer channel standards, for example, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), and General Packet Radio Services (GPRS). Therefore, any of the standards can be used with the WAP protocols.

In addition to the basic WAP elements, Windows Mobile supports the Push router elements. The Push router client elements include the PushRouter_*functions along with the associated structures and enumerations. See Wireless Application Protocol Functionsfor more information on the PushRouter_*functions. The header file for the push router client API programming elements is Pushclient.h.
