What WAP Means
WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol. It is a set of communication protocols that let wireless devices access the internet and network services such as e-mail and chat. The standard was used on early mobile phones to load web pages. Wikipedia describes WAP as an obsolete standard for mobile cellular networks, so it is not used on modern devices.
WAP in Networking
In networking, WAP can also mean a wireless access point. A wireless access point is a device that lets Wi-Fi devices connect to a wired or wireless network. Access points are common in offices, homes and public spaces. The two meanings are different: one is a mobile internet protocol, and the other is a network hardware device.
