GPS
GPS is short for Global Positioning System, a worldwide satellite navigational system formed by 24 satellites orbiting the earth and their corresponding receivers on the earth. The satellites orbit the earth at approximately 12,000 miles above the surface and make two complete orbits every 24 hours. The GPS satellites continuously transmit digital radio signals that contain data on the satellites location and the exact time to the earth-bound receivers. Based on this information the receivers know how long it takes for the signal to reach the receiver on earth. As each signal travels at the speed of light, the longer it takes the receiver to get the signal, the farther away the satellite is. By knowing how far away a satellite is, the receiver knows that it is located somewhere on the surface of an imaginary sphere centered at the satellite. By using three satellites, GPS can calculate the longitude and latitude of the receiver based on where the three spheres intersect.
GSM
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is considered an advanced digital cellular technology, currently primarily used in Europe and Asia. GSM are used for global roaming and many new GSM phones are called global phones because they can be used in virtually any country.
GPRS
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is new non-voice mobile phone technology that allows information to be sent and received across a mobile telephone network more quickly, immediately due to the way in which data is transmitted.
3G
3G stands for 3rd-generation. Analog cellular phones were the first generation. Digital phones marked the second generation (2G). 3G is loosely defined, but generally includes high data speeds, always-on data access, and greater voice capacity. The high data speeds are possibly the most prominent feature. They enable such advanced features as live, streaming video.
UMTS
Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is the network technology used for 3G cell phone communication.
CDMA
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is a transmission channel utilized by various radio communication technologies. It allows several transmitters to send information simultaneously over a single communication channel.
WCDMA
Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) is a detailed protocol that defines how a mobile phone communicates with the tower, how signals are modulated, how datagram’s are structured, and system interfaces are specified allowing technology to be designed on the same standards.
