3 F3607gw Communication

The F3607gw Mobile Broadband Module keeps end-users up to date by giving them

the best available mobile service wherever they are.

F3607gw 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 F3607gw. F3607gw comes in two

hardware versions supporting either both quad-band (Band I, II, V and VI) UMTS

and quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM/GPRS/EDGE, or both tri-band

UMTS (Band I, II, and VIII) and quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

GSM/GPRS/EDGE.

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, 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. 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, F3607gw is capable of downlink-speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps.

This, together with its antenna diversity, gives F3607gw a fast and reliable downlink.

F3607gw 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.

3.1.1.2 WCDMA

The initial implementation of UMTS networks enables Internet or corporate network

access at bidirectional data rates of up to 384 kbps.
