With WAP Server you usually mean a content server that speaks the WAP protocol natively, so that you don't need a separate gateway. The Swedish company Columbitech has developed software that converts an IIS server into a WAP server.
A WAP server is needed in order to get end-to-end security. Vendors of proprietary WAP servers not based on standard web servers include Nokia and Tantau.
