Introduction to the PinPoint-E

address for your modem, you can use a Dynamic DNS service (such as IP Manager) to translate your IP address into to a domain name.

Caution: If you want to connect remotely to your PinPoint-E using TCP/IP, the IP address given to your modem by Verizon cannot be a private or internal IP address (such asspecial private network) unless you are on the same network or inside that network’s firewall (such as with frame relay).

EV-DO Communication

CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is the underlying digital radio network technology used by many cellular providers across the globe and is prevalent in North America. To provide backward compatibility and seamless connections in a wider range of locations, your PinPoint‐E will fall back to 1x when EV‐DO is not available.

EV-DO

EV‐DO (Evolution Data Optimized) provides a broadband‐like cellular data connections that is 10 times faster than 1x/CDMA service. With the high‐speed connection, users can experience faster downloading when accessing the Internet and retrieving e‐mails, including large attachments and other bandwidth‐ intensive applications. EV‐DO is often referred to as Mobile Broadband and Cellular Broadband.

EV‐DO revision A is an enhancement on the original revision 0 adding expanded upload capabilities and a more robust connection overall. In addition to increasing the downlink speed, revision A also increases the uplink speed. In addition, it is backwards compatible and automatically connects with existing and broadly deployed EV‐DO Rev. 0 and 1x networks ensuring reliable and pervasive connectivity.

1x

1x provides a digital cellular telephony system and can provide wireless Internet access at speeds between 60 and 80 kbps, with bursts up to 144 kbps.

Security

1x and EV‐DO data transmissions are highly secure. Originally developed based upon the “spread spectrum” pioneered by the US Department of Defense, security in CDMA technologies
