3.1.2.1 GPRS
GPRS is an enhancement to GSM networks and provides packet data transmission.
The connection setup is fast and, once connected, applications may send and
receive data whenever required.
C3607w can achieve communication speeds through GPRS up to a theoretical
maximum of 85.6 kbps downlink and 42.8kbps uplink.
3.1.2.2 EDGE
EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution) is an integral part of the GSM
family of open mobile standards. EDGE improves GPRS by increasing data
throughput by a factor of three. GPRS networks enhanced with EDGE are often
referred to as E-GPRS (Enhanced GPRS) networks.
C3607w can achieve communication speeds up to a theoretical maximum of 247.4
kbps downlink and 123.7 kbps uplink; MCS-9). Typical end-user speeds are in the
range of 120 kbps under average conditions, with burst speeds around 200 kbps in
strong signal conditions.
3.2 Applications
3.2.1 SMS
C3607w can send and receive text messages.
3.2.2 GPS
The C3607w does not have an onboard GPS receiver, but is prepared to support an
external GPS receiver chipset mounted on the host system. The C3607w generates
signals for GPS system clock and RF PA blanking.
3.2.3
Browsing and internet access
C3607w is aimed for hosts running GNU/Linux. The first distribution supported is
Moblin. The drivers stack will be included in the GNU/Linux kernel for easy
integration.
