bandwidth intensive data at up to 7.2Mbps; typically associated with 3.5G.
HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access): Advanced WCDMA that delivers uplink
bandwidth intensive data at up to 5.76Mbps; typically associated with 3.75G.
HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access +): This is also known as HSPA Evolved, is the next
step and is more focused on delivering data services enabling speeds of up to 42Mbps
in the downlink and 11Mbps in the uplink.
IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity): A number unique to each GSM/UMTS
device that can be used block network access by a stolen mobile device.
IP (Internet Protocol): Routes packets over a network.
Kbps (Kilobits per second): A data flow measure; 1024 bits/second.
LAN (Local Area Network): A data network with limited range but good bandwidth.
Mbps (Megabits per second): A data flow measure; 1,048,576 bits/second.
LTE (Long Term Evolution): High-speed mobile communication standard based on the
GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA network technologies. LTE provides downlink peak rates
up to 300 Mbit/s and uplink peak rates up to 75 Mbit/s.
PAP (Password Authentication Protocol): The difference between PAP authentication
and a manual or scripted login, is that PAP is not interactive. The username and
password are entered in the client's dialing software and sent as one data package as
soon as the modems have established a connection, rather than the server sending a
login prompt and waiting for a response.
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol): An internet connection method.
PIN (Personal Identity Number): Four to eight digital numbers SIM card security code;
allows access to the carrier‟s network.
Rx: Shorthand for Reception.
SIM (Subscriber Identity Module): A small card that contains key mobile device
identification, subscription and contact information.
Tx: Shorthand for Transmission.
WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access): Advanced EDGE that supports
384kbps data flow. Most 3G networks use this standard, the same as UMTS.
