Portability: A WAP application on one network should be easily portable to a different environment with little or no change.
User Experience: WAP aims to enhance the user experience by addressing characteristics of wireless environment: Narrow bandwidth connection. Devices with small screens, limited battery use
without recharging, limited memory, and limited processing power.
Cost and Application Development Time Reduction: New services can be added quickly and at a lower cost using WAP.
