ESN

One Times Radio Transmission Technology (the ʺone timesʺ refers to the frequency spectrum). Supports Internet connections with data rates up to 153 Kbps. Actual speed depends on the network conditions. Compare to 1x‐EVDO.

Ahigh‐speed standard for cellular packet data communica‐ tions.

Rev. A supports Internet connections with data rates up to

3.1Mbps (downlink from the network) and 1.8 Mbps (uplink to the network).

Rev. 0 supports Internet connections with data rates up to

2.4Mbps (downlink from the network) and 153 Kbps (uplink to the network).

Average data rates are: for Rev. A: 450–800 Kbps (downlink from the network) and 300–400 Kbps (uplink to the network); for Rev. 0: 400‐700 Kbps (downlink from the network) and 40‐80 Kbps (uplink to the network).

Actual speed depends on the network conditions. Compare to 1X.

bits per second—The actual data speed over the transmission medium.

Code Division Multiple Access—A wideband spread spectrum technique used in digital cellular, personal communications services, and other wireless networks. Wide channels

(1.25 MHz) are obtained through spread spectrum transmis‐ sions, thus allowing many active users to share the same channel. Each user is assigned a unique digital code, which differentiates the individual conversations on the same channel.

Also known as 1X, this is a high‐speed standard for CDMA cellular communications.

The packet data connection has the logical PPP session left open while the underlying physical link (the radio channel) is released. When traffic is to resume, a radio channel is re‐acquired and the original PPP session resumes.

Electronic Serial Number—The unique first‐generation serial number assigned to the modem for cellular network use. Compare to MEID.
