GPS

Global Positioning System is a system of

 

satellites, computers, and receivers able

 

to determine the latitude and longitude

 

of a specific receiver on Earth. Position

 

is calculated using time and distance.

IS 2000

Type of digital signaling. It's the second

 

generation of CDMA digital cellular, an

 

extension of IS-95. Differences between

 

signaling types have to do with pilot

 

signal and links to provide more traffic

 

channels, and control protocols.

NAM

phone stores the phone number and its

 

electronic serial number. A multiple

 

NAM phone can register with multiple

 

service providers and be set to

 

automatically switch between

 

programmed phone numbers for service

 

provider areas.

SID

System Identification is a number

 

transmitted by base stations to identify a

 

wireless system which conforms to a

 

TIA cellular or PCS standard.

 

SID is used by mobile phones to

 

recognize when they are in their home

 

system and can be used for billing

 

purposes as a unique identification of

 

the serving system.

SMS

Short Message Service is a service

 

available on most digital mobile phones

 

to send messages between phones or

 

other devices. Messages are routed a

 

Short Message Service Center (SMSC),

 

which attempts to send the message

 

and, if unsuccessful, possibly retry at a

 

later time. Message delays or message

 

loss is possible, especially when

 

sending between networks. Users can

 

request delivery confirmation reports.

TTY

Teletypewriter. An electromechanical

 

typewriter that either transmits or

 

receives messages coded in electrical

 

signals. A phone with TTY support is

 

able to translate typed characters to

 

voice or translate voice into characters

 

to display on the TTY.
