GSM is a global standard for digital wireless communications, with extensive roaming capabilities for both voice and data services.
Appendices MTSGSM 61 T ransparent Mode In transparent mode, a non error-corrected connection is established between the user and the remote terminal. Data is then sent asynchronously . Because no error correction is taking place, there is little delay (latency) in transmitting data over the link.
MultiMobile SoftGSM User Guide MTSGSM 62 transmissions are encrypted for transmission across the network. This has been a key strength for GSM providing peace of mind for users, without the need for additional expenditure on expensive hardware and software.
Appendices MTSGSM 63 encrypted. GSM uses special encryption keys, which are synchronized between the Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card and the GSM network. Most network operators will provide corporate customers with dedicated connection into the corporate LAN, thus bypassing the POTS network, and interconnection charges.
