    GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) uses packet-switched technology to transmit small bursts of data. The 3G or 4G modem on the GW1000 Series supports multi-slot class 6, which allows a maximum data rate of 384Kbps class 3. The maximum data rate available to the 3G or 4G modem depends on provisioning by the network operator.

  • Page 7: Edge

    CSD (Circuit-Switched Data) mode enables the 3G modem to transmit data over the EGSM (Extended Global System for Mobile communications) frequency or the GSM frequency. The modem behaves as a dual-band mobile phone behaves. © Virtual Access 2014 Virtual Access GW1000 Series Router Quick Start Guide Issue 1.0 Page 7 of 38...
