Wireless app deployment

ToddF

8/7/2003 6:51:00 PM

How do I practically deploy a wireless application so that the mobile
devices in a field can access it?

As far as I understand, ASP.NET mobile control emits WML, but how does a
wirelss phone actually gets it?

Do I need to host a web site somewhere, or do I need a router or do I send
my app to a wireless provider?

Can somebody point me to an information about it, because I have not found
it...

Thanks,

-Stan

Sachin,

Don''t I need a gateway of some sort? This article mentions it..

So, I just need to bring up a publicly accessible IIS, setup DNS and
web-enabled cell phone will somehow be able to get data from it?

Hello Stan,
Answers to your questions:

Don''t I need a gateway of some sort? This article mentions it..
Ans: Yes on the client side (Mobile Device) a gateway may be needed for the client machines to be able to
make requests for the mobile web pages on the server.

So, I just need to bring up a publicly accessible IIS, setup DNS and
| web-enabled cell phone will somehow be able to get data from it?
Ans: As far as you are concerned (on the IIS server), simply having a publicly (or intranet) accessible IIS server that hosts
the mobile webforms pages is sufficient. It is upto the client-devices (going through their service provider and gateway) to be able
to make requests for the mobile web pages hosted on your IIS server.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Sachin,

Can you point to more information about this communication gateway?

Let''s say I have mobile web site running on IIS and I have a web-enabled
cell phone from Verizon.

a) What should I practically do to enable connection?
b) What kind of gateway is required?
c) Where it needs to be located?

Thanks,

-Stan

Hello,
These questions are best answered by your phone service provider since they will have information specific to what infrastructure is being used on the client-side for
the connectivity to the web server.

Here is an MSDN article which provides information regarding the overall architecture in use. It is a bit outdated and talks about the Beta Release of the Microsoft
Mobile WebForm Development Tools, but the principles explained are still relevant:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/06/mobile/de...

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
