Where UMTS service with HSDPA is available, your PC300 can connect at speeds up to 3.6Mbps. Your PC300 provides automatic fallback to to UMTS where HSDPA is not available and to EDGE or GPRS service where UMTS is not available (network support required). This section describes the services that the PC300 supports:

•High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA)

HSDPA is an enhancement to UMTS networks which enables the downlink speed to

be dramatically increased; up to 3.6Mbps using the PC300. File downloads will be faster, whilst applications such as video streaming may operate at higher quality and greater reliability. The maximum speed available depends on the configuration of the mobile network and local conditions such as distance to the base station.

•Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS)

UMTS is a 3G technology standard for wide-area wireless data communication that is based on the GSM standard. The UMTS standard uses advanced network operator mobile Internet services to achieve data transfer rates up to 384 kbps, which are ideal for media streaming, video MMS, instant shopping, and banking.
