3 C3607w Communication
The C3607w Mobile Broadband Module keeps end-users up to date by giving them
the best available mobile service wherever they are.
C3607w is a dual mode device, able to connect via WCDMA/HSPA and
GSM/GPRS/EDGE. The handover between the two systems and network
technologies are automatically managed by the C3607w allowing the user to remain
connected seamlessly.
The C3607w comes with tri-band WCDMA/HSPA (Band I, II, and V) and quad-band
(850/900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM/GPRS/EDGE support.
3.1 Network Technologies
3.1.1 UMTS
3G (third-generation) services combine high-speed radio access with IP-based
(Internet Protocol) services. This not only offers the possibility for fast mobile
connection to the World Wide Web, but also a totally new way to communicate,
access information, conduct business, learn and be entertained.
Compared to 2G mobile networks, 3G significantly boosts network capacity, a much
needed feature in densely populated areas and allows operators to support more
users and offer them more sophisticated services.
3.1.1.1 WCDMA
The initial implementation of UMTS networks enables Internet or corporate network
access at bidirectional data rates of up to 384 kbps.
3.1.1.2 HSPA
HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) is available in all most UMTS markets. With its
HSDPA solution, C3607w is capable of downlink-speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. In
addition, with its antenna diversity, the C3607w has a fast and reliable downlink.
C3607w uses HSUPA which enables uplink speeds of up to 2 Mbps. With HSPA,
users can enjoy faster download and upload capability while network operators
benefit from increased capacity.
3.1.2 GSM
GSM/GPRS coverage is available almost everywhere, and provides a secure fall
back so that network connection is maintained.
