Like CSD calls, you are typically being billed for the air time (whether you are transmitting/receiving data or not). In addition, the fastest CSD data rate available is 14.4k bps. 1XRTT (1X)/packet data Your Nokia phone is the first in a new generation of phones to take advantage of a new higher-speed data protocol called 1XRTT (1X). The benefits to you include: • Higher data transfer rates - up to 153.6k bps over the wireless network. 7 • Data on-demand - data is transmitted only when requested. You pay only for the amount of data you transfer (vs. air time). 1X packet data services work much the same way as a PC connected to a corporate network. Information is sent in "bursts" and "packets" only when there is a request for information. Otherwise, the PC or phone remains in an idle state. Internet access using your service provider Your wireless service provider now becomes your Internet service provider when you use your phone as a wireless modem and use packet data or QNC. You no longer have to configure your laptop computer or handheld device for connection to your normal ISP when you want to browse the Web or check your e-mail. Access corporate network/e-mail using a VPN Virtual Private Network (VPN) services provide an encrypted communications "tunnel" through the Internet, creating a secure connection between your PC and corporate network using a high-speed or broadband Internet connection. If you plan on using 2G or 3G packet data services to access your corporate network's e-mail system, Intranet, or LAN, your corporate network must have VPN services available. In addition, your network administrator must grant you permission to access the corporate network through the VPN. [ 44 ]
