A Wireless Application Service Provider (WASP) provides remote services, typically to handheld devices that connect to wireless data networks such as cellphones or PDAs. WASPs are a specific category of Application Service Providers (ASPs), though the latter term may more often be associated with standard web services. They can also be used for wireless bridging between different types of network topologies.
