Gateway (Transcoding) Server

Server to convert data streams to best suit the capabilities of the device. For example, WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) gateway servers convert HTML to WML (Wireless Markup Language) for wireless devices, and several products can reformat HTML for devices such as cell phones and PDAs. Today, HTML-based servers dominate. HTML can be reported from a single device requesting content, but more often than not, shadow web server applications are designed to extract and reformat their own content.
