How WIG Works...

The Wireless Internet Gateway (WIG) gives WAP and SIM Application ToolKit (SAT) terminals access to WML-based applications. 

It brings WAP to legacy terminals via SMS and supports end-to-end security, push and location-based services.

A SIM-based WML browser not only lets a GSM operator deliver web-style content to the current large installed base of mobile phone subscribers, but it offers increased security inherent in the SIM´s Smart Card technology. 

Since each subscriber holds a unique encrypted digital signature in each phone´s SIM card, the WIG makes it possible for operators to immediately add applications like e-commerce and online banking, which capture the interest of security-conscious subscribers clamoring for more financial transaction services.

The SIM-based WML browser for the WIG is available on most SIM platforms, including Giesecke & Devrient, Setec, Gemplus, Schlumberger and De La Rue (Oberthur). SIM browser plug-in modules are also available to generate signatures and retrieve location-based information. 

It is now possible for WML application programmers to begin immediate deployment of location sensitive applications, and to support security schemes based on the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
