HP iPAQ GSM/GPRS/EDGE Features

Automatic Frequency Band Selection

HP iPAQ devices offer integrated quad-band GSM/GPRS technology, supporting 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. This flexibility makes HP iPAQ devices an excellent solution for users who need to stay connected during international travel.

When traveling between countries and wireless network operators, the HP iPAQ automatic selection feature changes the frequency bands of the GSM/GPRS/EDGE connection settings. The feature initiates an automatic search for network frequency bands when the user’s home bands are not available. Automatic frequency band selection is the default setting on HP iPAQ devices.

GSM/GPRS Settings Manager

HP-exclusive GSM/GPRS Settings Manager software is included with HP iPAQ devices. GSM/GPRS Settings Manager automatically configures the HP iPAQ according to network parameters on the device’s SIM card. Users still have the flexibility to modify the automatic settings according to individual preferences and create specialized network settings.

GSM/GPRS Settings Manager provides the following features:

Automatically detects the carrier and sets up the GPRS, MMS and WAP connection information.

Allows users to edit network settings including GPRS, CSD, SMS, MMS and WAP information.

Allows users to create individual network settings and save the settings under a user defined name in the iPAQ File Store folder.

Synchronizing with Microsoft ActiveSync

HP iPAQ devices use Microsoft ActiveSync to access corporate information on servers running

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 software. Microsoft ActiveSync software is included on the Companion CD or Getting Started CD that comes with HP iPAQ devices.

ActiveSync-enabled HP iPAQs can synchronize calendars, contacts lists and e-mail messages over the air with a GPRS or wireless connection without using a desktop computer, cradle or desktop synchronization software. When ActiveSync is enabled, users have the flexibility to sync and receive information as needed by using either a push e-mail solution (via SMS) or a scheduled download from the Exchange server.

Flexible Syncing Solutions

HP iPAQ devices can support different syncing options depending on user needs. For customers who choose not to deploy Microsoft Exchange 2003, HP offers compatibility with the Good Technology GoodLink solution. GoodLink and the HP iPAQ hw6900 Mobile Messenger series deliver a true “push” solution for e-mail accounts, calendar, contacts and much more.
