Overview
LEON-G100/LEON-G200 GSM/GPRS modules integrate a full-featured Release 99 GSM-GPRS protocol stack,
with the following main characteristics.
Quad-band support: GSM 850 MHz, EGSM 900 MHz, DCS 1800 MHz and PCS 1900 MHz
Power class 4 (33 dBm nominal maximum output power) for GSM/EGSM bands
Power class 1 (30 dBm nominal maximum output power) for DCS/PCS bands
GPRS multi-slot class 10
All GPRS coding schemes from CS1 to CS4 are supported
GPRS bit rate: 85.6 kb/s (max.), 53.6 kb/s (typ.) in down-link; 42.8 kb/s (max.), 26.8 kb/s (typ.) in up-link
CS (Circuit Switched) Data calls are supported in transparent/non transparent mode up to 9.6 kb/s
Encryption algorithms A5/1 for GSM and GPRS support
Bearer service fax Group 3 Class 2.0 support
Class B Mobile Stations (i.e. the data module can be attached to both GPRS and GSM services, using one
service at a time)
Network operation modes I to III are supported
GPRS multi-slot class determines the maximum number of timeslots available for upload and download and thus
the speed at which data can be transmitted and received: higher classes typically allow faster data transfer rates.
GPRS multi-slot class 10 uses a maximum of 4 slots in download (reception) and 2 slots in upload (transmission),
with 5 slots in total.
The network automatically configures the number of timeslots used for reception or transmission (voice calls
take precedence over GPRS traffic). The network also automatically configures channel encoding (CS1 to CS4).
The maximum GPRS bit rate of the mobile station depends on the coding scheme and number of time slots.
