What is AirPAC? |
|
AirPAC is a version of the VU Library Catalogue designed especially for
wireless devices.
AirPAC is currently enabled to allow WAP-enabled mobile phone users access. As
present, however, AirPAC is not enabled
for other hand-held wireless devices (for example: Palm™) due to network
security issues. |
|
What is WAP? |
|
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an advanced messaging service on digital
mobile phones and other mobile terminals, that allows you to see internet
content in special text format. Internet
content designed for WAP access is configured quite differently, and some
variation in the accessibility of services does occur.
If you'd like more information on this feature, we recommend that you contact
your mobile phone service provider. |
