and graphics on a portable device. That is why the 
main applications driving Mobile Internet develop-
ment are e-mail clients and WAP browsers. 
The demand for high-speed Internet access will be 
the key driver for coming generations of wireless 
services, and GPRS can deliver the necessary 
speed. GPRS allows innovative services to be cre-
ated, enabling new and previously inaccessible 
market segments to be addressed and increasing 
customer loyalty. 
GPRS applications can be developed as both hori-
zontal and vertical. Vertical applications are spe-
cific, including those for operations such as 
reaching police and emergency, taxi, delivery or 
automated services (vending machines, supervi-
sion, vehicle tracking). Horizontal applications are 
more generic and include those for Internet access, 
e-mail, messaging, e-commerce and entertain-
ment. 
GPRS is able to take advantage of the global cov-
erage of existing GSM networks. Applications 
developed for GPRS can be deployed on a large 
scale and can reap the associated benefits. GPRS 
also provides a secure medium for connections to 
private networks, banking and financial services.
With GPRS, the T630/T628 sends data in “pack-
ets” at a very high speed. The T630/T628 remains 
connected to the network at all times, using trans-
mission capacity only when data is sent or 
received. 
Using GPRS in the T630/T628
Instead of occupying an entire voice channel for 
the duration of a data session, the T630/T628 
sends/receives data in small packets, as needed, 
much like IP on the Internet. Because of this, the 
T630/T628 maintains a constant online connection, 
its data transmission abilities summoned by the 
application in use on an as-needed basis.
The GPRS specification includes four coding 
schemes – CS1, CS2, CS3 and CS4 – that allow 
data speeds of 9,050 bps, 13,400 bps, 15,600 bps 
and 21,400 bps respectively. The T630/T628 works 
with all four coding schemes, but data speed will 
naturally vary according to network configuration. 
At the moment, CS-3 and CS-4 are not supported 
in any live network, i.e present speed is limited to 
53,600 bps.
The GSM system limits the ability to use all eight 
time slots, so the T630/T628 uses up to four time 
slots for receiving data, and one slot for transmit-
ting. This means the speed for receiving data is up 
to 85,600 bps and up to 21,400 bps for sending 
data.
Using GPRS with the T630/T628 has several 
advantages, for example:
Constant connection
Keep an open connection to an e-mail system 
or the company network, staying online to 
receive and send messages at all times. All con-
nection settings can be managed by using the 
data connections feature.
High speed
Gain access automatically to increased band-
width when downloading large files, images etc.
Cost efficient
Use transmission capacity only when needed, 
thus reducing costs.
WAP over GPRS
Access the Internet via WAP at high speed and 
with a constant connection.
E-mail over GPRS
Remain connected to an e-mail system while 
reading and preparing messages, (which are 
sent at a high speed).
Data communication
Transfer data and access the Internet or an 
intranet with a PC, PDA or handheld device 
connected via Bluetooth wireless technology, 
infrared or cable.
Data and voice
Maintain a data connection, for example, a con-
stant connection to an e-mail system when con-
ducting a voice call.
Provide settings
Receive GPRS configuration settings from the 
provider over the air, OTA, making manual con-
figuration unnecessary.
User controlled settings
