| Electronic Serial Number - A unique, unchangeable 32-bit binary number embedded by the manufacturer that identifies each wireless communications device. (Except those that use GSM technology, which use an IMEI instead.) |

| The International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) is a number unique to every GSM and UMTS mobile phone. It is usually found printed on or underneath the phone's battery and can also be found by dialing the sequence *#06# into the phone. |

GSM -- Groupe Speciale Mobile
(Global System for Mobile Communications)
This set of standards is widely used in Europe for cellular communications. The audio encoding subset of the GSM standard is best known to computer users because its data compression and decompression techniques are also being used for Web-phone communication and encoding WAV and AIFF files. |

| Code Division Multiple Access. In a CDMA system, each voice circuit is labeled with a unique code and transmitted on a single channel simultaneously along with many other coded voice circuits. The receiver uses the same code to recover the signal from the noise. The only distinctions between the multiple voice circuits are the assigned codes. The channel is typically very wide with each voice circuit occupying the entire channel bandwidth. This system used 1.23 MHz wide channel sets. The full vocoder rate is 8.55 Kbits/sec, but voice activity detection and variable rate coding can cut the data rate to 1200 bits/sec. A very robust and secure channel can be established, even for an extremely low-power signal-theoretically, the signal can be weaker than the noise floor. |

| Evolution Data Only/Evolution Data Optimized (often abbreviated as EVDO, EV-DO, EvDO, 1xEV-DO or 1xEvDO) provides fast wireless broadband access (3G) internet service directly to your laptop/cellphone. It is an evolution of CDMA2000. |

| High-Speed Downlink Packet Access is a new mobile telephony protocol and is sometimes referred to as a 3.5G (or "3½G") technology. In this respect it extends WCDMA in the same way that EV-DO extends CDMA2000. HSDPA provides a smooth evolutionary path for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks allowing for higher data capacity (up to 14.4 Mbit/s in the downlink). It is an evolution of the W-CDMA standard, designed to increase the available data rate by a factor of 5 or more. HSDPA defines a new W-CDMA channel, the high-speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) that operates in a different way from existing W-CDMA channels, but is only used for downlink communication to the mobile. |
