SMS, MMS, WAP, J2ME, BREW, LBS, 3G are only some of the alphabet soup in wireless technology. In this presentation, we will explain what these mean and how wireless technology is being used to make weather information available to cell phones.

A multitude of weather products are available, including the local forecast, animated radar and satellite imagery, severe weather bulletins and video weather broadcasts.
