High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD)
HSCSD is an enchanced GSM network capability offered by some network operators. It enables
circuit switched data connections to run at a higher data speed, using more than one wireless ‘timeslot’
for the data transmission. This is ideal for providing a faster connection to existing corporate or ISP
dial-up facilities. The preferred connection speed is selected when you define the connection using
the Connection Wizard.
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
GPRS is a new network connection which provides “always on” mobility. The connection set up is fast
and, once connected, applications may send and receive data whenever required. In today’s GPRS
networks, the GC79 receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kbps and transmits at speeds up to 26.8 kbps.
Short Message Service (SMS)
The PC can send and receive SMS text messages using the SMS Messages screen in the
Wireless Manager, see Wireless Manager SMS Messages Screen on page 51, for more details.
