Enterprise Option for WAP Server Deployment
This option is the alternative to the Carrier Option. Rather than relying on your carrier's WAP server, you install your own WAP server on a machine inside your enterprise's firewall, as shown in Figure 3.

Enterprise Option Benefits and Drawbacks
With the Enterprise Option, you minimize security and latency concerns but incur the cost of buying, setting up, and maintaining your own WAP server, modem bank, and remote access server (RAS), as shown in Table 16.
