Introduction
GSM data transmission
The Nokia 9210 Communicator employs the data transmission capabilities of the
GSM network to send faxes, short messages, and e-mail, and to establish
connections with remote computers.
Wireless data connections can be made from most locations where your phone
operates. However, it is recommended that you move the communicator to a
location where the strongest possible wireless signal can be obtained. When the
signal is strong, data transmission is efficient. In general, you should not expect
the same performance from wireless data communications as from landline
communications, due to the inherent characteristics of the wireless environment.
The following factors may impair wireless connections:
Noise
Radio interference from electronic appliances and equipment, as well as from
other phones will affect the quality of wireless data transmission.
Cell handover
As the phone user moves from one network cell to another, the signal strength of
the channel drops and the wireless telephone exchange may handover the user to
a different cell and frequency, where the signal is stronger. A cell handover may
also occur when the user is stationary, due to varying wireless traffic loads. Such
handovers may cause slight delays in the transmission.
