Specification

The Narrowband Sockets (NBS) specification enables the vision of users being Always On Always Connected. It describes the NBS architecture, and the various components of a low bandwidth wireless messaging network. It specifies how WinSock 2 provides a familiar application programming interface to send and receive wireless data, and to access advanced features such as store and forward on these networks. The specification describes protocol requirements and how NBS features may be implemented at the network level, such that protocol indpendence and network specific features may be supported.

Companies wishing to use the Narrowband Sockets specification to develop their products may enter into a patent agreement with other NBS providers by signing the adopter's agreement (9 KB, Adobe Acrobat file).
