Compared to 2G mobile networks, 3G significantly boosts network capacity, a much
needed feature in densely populated areas. This means that operators are able to
support more users and offer them more sophisticated services.
3.1.1.1 HSPA
HSPA (
High Speed Packet Access) is available in all developed UMTS markets.
With its HSDPA solution, F3307 is capable of downlink-speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps.
Some variants have antenna diversity which gives them an even more reliable
downlink, making the F3307 fast and efficient.
F3307 uses HSUPA which enables uplink speeds of up to 5.76 Mbps for R2 variants
and later, and up to 2 Mbps for R1 variants. With HSPA, users can enjoy faster
download and upload capability while network operators benefit from increased
capacity.
3.1.1.2 WCDMA
The initial
implementation of UMTS networks enables Internet or corporate network
access at bidirectional data rates of up to 384 kbps.
3.1.2 GSM
Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) coverage is available almost
everywhere, and provides a secure fall-back so that network connection is
maintained, provided data services such as GPRS or EDGE is available. Where no
data services are available, the module can still use GSM for SMS communication.
3.1.2.1 GPRS
General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) is a packet data ser
vice enhancement to
GSM networks that provides data connectivity. The connection setup is fast and,
once connected, applications may send and receive data whenever required.
F3307 can achieve communication speeds through GPRS up to a theoretical
maximum of 85.6 kbps downlink and 42.8 kbps uplink.
3.1.2.2 EDGE
Enhanced Data rates for
Global Evolution (EDGE) is a packet data service integral
to the GSM family of open mobile standards. EDGE improves on GPRS by
increasing data throughput by a factor of three. GPRS networks enhanced with
EDGE are often referred to as Enhanced GPRS (E-GPRS) networks.
F3307 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 nominal conditions, with burst speeds around 200 kbps
in strong signal conditions.
