“Kannel 1.0.2 WAP gateway has received the official WAP 1.1
certification by WAP Forum, the international organisation
overseeing the development and interoperability of the WAP
specification suite. This certification makes Kannel the world’s
first Open Source WAP gateway, which is recognised as fully
compatible with the WAP 1.1 protocol, providing maximum
interoperability with existing WAP 1.1 clients.”
“The WAP Forum certification means that a WAP product meets or
exceeds the requirements of the WAP specification suite. It also
means that the certified product can use the WAP Certified logo,
assuring users of the integrity and interoperability of the
gateway.”
“After putting a lot of effort into developing Kannel we here at
Wapit are proud to see it among the first five WAP gateways in the
world to receive WAP 1.1 certification. As Kannel is the only
non-proprietary gateway to get this certification this proves the
strength within open source development”, says Terho Laakso, Vice
President of Products at Wapit Ltd. “Kannel’s performance figures
demonstrate the evident quality of open source projects. Based on
the results from Wapit’s test environment, we claim Kannel to be
the fastest SMS and WAP gateway on the market, capable of handling
several hundreds of requests per second.”
