dBm
dBm stands for decibels below 1 milliwatt. It is essentially a device’s signal output power
compared against a standard input signal strength of 1 (one) milliwatt. This number represents a
ratio and is expressed as a negative number (i.e. -60dBm)

Default Network Connection Profile
The default network connection profile is the connection profile, chosen by you that the Modem
Manager will use to connect to the network. The default network connection profile can be
thought of as the active network connection profile.

Direct Memory Access (DMA)
A fast method of moving data from a storage device or LAN device interface card directly to RAM
which speeds up processing. DMA by passes the CPU.

Domain Name
The name assigned to a computer or group of computers that constitute an IP network domain. In
general, a domain name is comprised of its local host name and its top-level domain. The top-
level domain can be made up of several names, each separated by a period (.).
An example of a domain name is novatelwireless.com.

Domain Name System (DNS)
This is a network server used on IP networks, such as the Internet, for translating network host
names and Universal Resource Locators (URL’s) into IP addresses.

Edge Technologies
Edge (Enhanced Data for Global Evolution) is an enhanced version of GPRS providing three to
four times more capacity and data throughput. Average speeds range from 100 to 130 kbps with
theoretical peak data rates of 473 kbps. Average rates are fast enough to support a wide range of
advanced data services such as streaming audio and video, fast Internet access and large file
downloads, EDGE can also support a greater range of enterprise applications, and more
multimedia applications including push-to-talk services.

Firmware
Firmware is a program or set of programs that have been set permanently into a computer chip.
The programs themselves usually are low-level programs that directly manipulate or interact with
the hardware. An example of firmware is your desktop computer’s BIOS.

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
GRPS is a packet-based, always-on data connection standard.

High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA)
HSDPA is a packet-based data service that improves upon UMTS by increasing speeds to 500-
800 kbps with peak data rates of up to 10 Mbps (five times faster than UMTS and other 3G
technologies) in a 5 Mhz channel. In addition, HSDPA significantly improves packet data
throughput capacity, thereby increasing the number of users that can be supported at higher data
rates on a single radio carrier.
