White Paper T630/T628

Mobile Internet

The mobile Internet offers much more than mobile access to the Internet. It opens up a whole new range of situation-based services that give the user access to personalized communications, informa- tion and entertainment, anytime, anywhere.

Data connections

In order to browse via WAP or use an Internet con- nection, the user must have a data communication connection configured in the phone. This connec- tion contains specific settings and parameters to connect to an appropriate server. Several data con- nections can be saved in the T630/T628. To make it easier for the user, data connections can be pro- vided by the operator via OTA provisioning.

Advantages of data connections include:

•Once the data connections are defined and named, the user does not have to enter the set- tings for the connection again.

•Data connections can be re-used at any time.

•Individual data settings for working with WAP, e- mail or the Internet can be stored and activated as needed.

•Data connections can be used for both GSM Data and GPRS connection settings.

•Bearer type for WAP and corresponding bearer- specific parameters may be selected.

•Data connections contain all the necessary set- tings for the Internet access point, including modem pool phone number or IP address, user ID and password.

Mobile positioning

The geographic location of mobile subscribers can be used to provide them with related information and a variety of services. Sony Ericsson’s Mobile Positioning System (MPS) gives operators a fast and cost-effective way to establish and roll out location-based services.

For users of the T630/T628, the integration of mobile positioning with WAP services means that a complete range of service and information tools is available.

General Packet Radio Services

The introduction of GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) is one of the key steps in the evolution of today’s GSM networks for enhancing the capabili- ties of data communication. Data traffic is increas- ing enormously (over both wired and wireless networks), with the growth in demand for Internet access and services paralleling that for mobile

communications. Users want access to the Internet while they are away from their offices and homes, and surveys have found that the vast majority of business professionals want the ability to send and receive e-mail, browse the WAP and transmit text
