		A B C D E F   ADSL (Assymetrical Digital Subscriber Line) A method to increase transmission speed in a copper cable. ADSL facilitates the division of capacity into a channel with higher speed to the subscriber, typically for video transmission, and a channel with significantly lower speed in the other direction. AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System) The original standard specification for analog systems. Used primarily in North America, Latin America, Australia and parts of Russia and Asia. analog system the simple way to transmit speech. The first networks for mobile phones were analog. Analog systems include AMPS, NMT and ETACS. asynchronous A type of transmission in which each character is transmitted independently without reference to a standard clock. Can also mean that there are different capacities for data transfer in each direction, for example the old 90/200 baud modems and the new ADSL. asynchronous mode a standard for data transmission where each data package has a start and stop bit. See also synchronous mode. ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) A technology for broadband transmission of high-capacity telecommunications signals. In addition to high-capacity signal transmission, ATM provides considerable flexibility, since the individual subscriber is able to adapt the capacity of a switched connection to current requirements. AXE An open architecture, Ericsson’s communications platform. A system for computer-controlled digital exchanges that constitute the nodes in large public telecommunications networks. The basis for Ericsson’s wireline and mobile systems. bandwidth The information-carrying capacity of a communications channel. Usually expressed in Hertz (cycles per second) for analog circuits and in bits per second (bps) for digital circuits. base station The central radio transmitter/receiver that maintains communications with a mobile radiotelephone with a given range. Bluetooth A radio technology developed by Ericsson and other companies built around a new chip that makes it possible to transmit signals over short distances between telephones, computers and other devices without the use of wires. Read more at http://www.bluetooth.com bps bits per second - meaning data transmission speed, the number of pieces of information transmitted per second. broadband This term has a number of meanings. It was coined originally to describe a channel with more bandwidth than a standard voice grade channel which is usually a 48KHz link.
		3G Cosmos maintains a great portfolio of commercially valuable mobile Internet domain names which you will see throughout the site. We frequently receive offers relating to these 3G domains. We are willing to sell the 3G and other communications names we are not developing if the offer is right.
CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A technology for digital transmission of radio signals between, for example, a mobile telephone and a radio base station. In CDMA, a frequency is divided into a number of codes. See also IS-95. CDMA2000 Cdma2000 is a radio transmission technology for the evolution of narrowband cdmaOne/IS-95 to 3rd-generation adding up multiple carriers. See also WCDMA for single carrier/direct spread technology. Cellular Mobile Telephone System System where each geographic area is covered by a base station. This area is known as a cell. Each telephone in the cell communicates with the base station. If the phone moves to another cell, the call is automatically transferred to the base station in the new cell. Circuit Switching A switched circuit is only maintained while the sender and recipient are communicating, as opposed to a dedicated circuit which is held open regardless of whether data is being sent or not. coverage the geographical reach of a mobile phone network or system. D-AMPS (Digital Advanced Mobile Phone System) Earlier designation of American standard for digital mobile telephony used primarily in North America, Latin America, Australia and parts of Russia and Asia. Now known as TFMA. See also TDMA and IS-136. DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) A common standard for cordless personal telephony originally established by ETSI, a European standardization body. DECT is a system for cordless business communications. digital where information - speech, for example - is encoded before transmission. Digital networks are rapidly replacing analog ones as they offer improved sound quality, secure transmission and can handle data as well as voice. Digital networks include mobile systems GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900, D-AMPS and the cordless DECT system. dual band dual band mobile phones can work on networks that operate on different frequency bands. This is useful if you move between areas covered by different networks. For example GSM 900, GSM 1800. dual mode dual mode mobile phones work on more than one network (for example, TDMA and AMPS, GSM and DECT).   EDGE A technology that gives GSMA and TDMA similar capacity to handle services for the third generation of mobile telephony. EDGE was developed to enable the transmission of large amounts of data at a high speed, 384 kilobits per second. EPOC An operating system for mobile terminals, developed by Symbian (a joint-venture with Ericsson, Matsushita, Nokia, Motorola and Psion). ergonomics Study of equipment design in order to reduce user fatigue and discomfort ERMES European Radio Messaging System - a pan-European wide area paging network working in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. ETACS Extended Total Access Communications System - the analog mobile phone network developed in the UK and available in Europe and Asia. ETSI (European Telecommunications Standardization Institute) The European standardization body for telecommunications. extranet The extension of a company's intranet out onto the Internet, e.g. to allow selected customers, suppliers and mobile workers to access the company's private data and applications via the World Wide Web. Generally an extranet implies real-time access through a firewall of some kind. Fast Packet Switching An emerging, packet-orientated, digital technology that differs from traditional packet switching in a number of ways. The most obvious is that it transmits all data in a single packet format whether the information is video, voice or data. Fast packet switching uses short, fixed length packets (cells) and - via hardware switching - is capable of speeds between 100,000 and 1,000,000 packets/second. FCC (Federal Communications Commission) Regulatory body governing communications technologies in the US.
