WAP Push OTA Protocol Features

4/8/2010

Messages are sent from the Push Proxy Gateway (PPG) over the air to Windows Mobile devices with the WAP Push Over The Air (OTA) Protocol. The device uses connectionless unsecured push; thus, a push session does not need to be established before a message can be delivered. For more detailed information about WAP Push OTA Protocol, see the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) specification: Push Over The Air (OMA-WAP-TS-PushOTA-V2_1-20051122-C), available from this OMA Web site.

The following table shows the Push OTA Protocol features used by the OTA provisioning architecture.
