With the F3307 Mobile Broadband Module installed in a notebook computer, it is
always available for data transfer -the F3307 does not support voice calls.
Connection settings are automatically created based on the SIM card. Parameter
sets suitable for many networks are included and the module can, if needed, be set
up to facilitate manual configuration where required. The user can simply click the
“Connect” button to make an Internet connection. A status screen and an icon in the
notification area enable users to check status information such as signal strength,
perform common functions and access help.
F3307 has wide notebook compatibility. The PCI Express Mini Card is designed to
use the integrated GSM/UMTS antennas in notebook computers. F3307 supports
the Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Google Chrome, Google Android and
Linux operating systems. Since the module is optimized to work with the notebook, it
is better integrated and provides a superior end-user experience compared to
generically produced cards that need to work across multiple computing platforms.
Consequently, the built-in module has better radio performance and less battery
power consumption than an external card.
Application developers may utilize F3307 via the high level API.
3 Communication
The F3307 Mobile Broadband Module keeps end-users up to date by giving them
the best available mobile service wherever they are.
F3307 is a dual mode device, able to connect via UMTS/HSDPA and
GSM/GPRS/EDGE. The user will remain connected without having to think about
what system is being used – the handoff between two systems and network
technologies is automatically managed by F3307. F3307 comes in three hardware
variants:
! supporting both dual-band UMTS 2100MHz/900MHz (Bands I and VIII) and
quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
! supporting both dual-band UMTS 1900MHz/850MHz (Bands II, and V) and
quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
! supporting both single-band UMTS 2100MHz (Band I) and quad-band
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
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 means fast mobile connection to the World
Wide Web, but also a totally new way to communicate, to access information, to
conduct business, to learn and be entertained.
