A

Analog: A method of signalling used to represent an infinite range of numbers. The most analog devices are POTS telephones, and modems.

AT Command set: A set of instructions used to control modems and ISDN terminal adapters, normally beginning with AT.

AT Command: An instruction sent to a modem, beginning with AT.

B

bps (Bits Per Second): A measurement of transmission speed.

C

CONCAT: Concatenated short messages provide for the sending of multiple short messages to a user who can then reassemble the messages to create a large message

D

Data over GSM: The ability to transmit digital data over a GSM network.

Digital: A method of signalling that can only represent integers. For computers these are 0 and 1.

Dual-band Phone: A GSM phone that operates on two different bands (e.g., 900/1800 or 900/1900).

E

Error Correction: A method for identifying errors during data transmission and requesting re- transmission of any corrupted data.

ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute): The European standards body responsible for defining and maintaining the GSM standard.

G

GPRS (General Packet Radio Services): A proposed packet data standard for GSM, capable of providing data speeds up to 170 Kbps.

Group 3 Fax: An ITU standard for controlling facsimile communication.

GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication): An ETSI standard for digital wireless voice and data communications.

GSM Data Interface: The interface on a GSM phone for connecting a serial cable to a PC or PC Card.

GSM MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) Association: The GSM organization that oversees the implementation of GSM networks around the world.

I

International Roaming: Outside North America, GSM users can roam seamlessly throughout Europe, and in more than 60 other countries around the world. This provides a level of mobility unmatched by any other cellular technology. GSM networks operate at different frequencies outside North America, and as a result users roaming internationally may need to change the phone that they are using. All a user needs to do is simply hire or buy the appropriate phone, and insert their existing SIM card in to the phone (for an explanation of a SIM card see the following section), this is refered to as “SIM Card Roaming”. Users will then be able to make and receive calls, as they would using their normal phone. Many network operators now operate hiring schemes for their subscribers who wish to roam internationally. Advances in phone technology will soon see the availability of phones that can work on different frequencies. This will eliminate the need to change phones when travelling outside North America.
