Wireless Application Solutions Wireless application solutions are becoming more popular with the growth of digital cellular networks. We ' ve done some research into what it takes to develop wireless applications and developed a prototype application that runs on a 3COM Palm VII and interacts with a Smalltalk application on a server. In effect, users can request data from the mainframe without being ' connected ' . The Palm VII links to the Smalltalk server via a wireless data network managed by BellSouth. A 3COM server provides compression, translation and encryption services.
Users subscribe to the data service based on how much data they transmit.
