| What
is WCTP?
The Wireless Communications Transfer Protocol
(WCTP) is specifically aimed at creating an easy
means of passing alphanumeric and binary messages
to and from wireline systems and two-way capable
wireless devices. A draft proposal was submitted
to the Radio Paging Community, through the "Messaging
Standards Committee", as means to foster industry
input, co-operation, study, promotion and participation
in its further expansion and growth as an open,
non-proprietary standard.
The Messaging Standards Committee is a group
of paging industry manufacturers and carriers
focused on rapidly creating mutually agreeable
standards to address emerging applications that
can not be easily realized through the utilization
of existing standards. The Committee accepted
the draft proposal and established a WCTP drafting
sub-committee to further enhance the protocol
and release it in the form of this specification.
The sub-committee is continuing its efforts to
refine the features and capabilities of the protocol,
and further feature richness will be introduced
in future revisions. It is the intent of the drafting
committee to provide the greatest degree of revision
compatibility between releases as possible, so
as to easily allow for the incorporation of new
features and to provide a means for systems operating
at different protocol revisions to communicate.
