In today’s world of ever-changing technology, it’s easy to get confused about the different terminology being bandied about.
Here is a selection of jargon and their definitions:
3G
Phones with 3G technology (third generation) give faster access to the web and online services such as video calls and wireless data.
Bluetooth™
Wireless technology that connects mobile devices such as phones, PDAs, and laptops. With this you can transfer data between them, or use Bluetooth™ accessories such as hands-free headsets, nio security tether or computer keyboards and mice.
Push technology
This is a method of sending data to a phone, such as emails or alerts. The data is sent through a server, meaning emails are received instantly in your inbox.
Mobile Email
This way of retrieving emails on your phone can vary depending on the handsets and services used. BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) allows you to access the internet and email accounts on your BlackBerry without connecting through a company server as it goes through the BlackBerry server. Emails are retrieved in your inbox instantly thanks to Push technology. Outlook Mobile allows you to sync most Windows Mobile phones to a Windows computer so your calendar, contacts and tasks are up-to-date. Vodafone Email Plus (VEP) and GoogleMail™ allows you to access your emails in real time too, provided your phone supports Push technology.
GPRS
A connection to mobile internet services, giving you the ability to download applications and surf the web.
GPS Global positioning systems let you find your location on applications like Google Maps, or use other location services helping you find businesses, services, restaurants and more. Also, if you have a phone compatible with GPS navigation software, you can use it as a sat-nav too.
GSM Bands
Dualband Phones with this feature can be used in most countries in the world, including countries in Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa. Triband phones can be used in most countries in Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa, as well as in North America. Quadband These phones can be used in most countries in Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa, North America, and in parts of South America.
HSDPA
Stands for High-Speed Downlink Packet Access. HSDPA allows 3G networks to give you more bandwidth, making it faster to get content, whether that’s streaming or downloading video and sound clips.
Megapixel (MP)
This is a measure of camera resolution. One pixel is essentially a ‘dot’, and one megapixel equals one million ‘dots’. The more there are, the higher the resolution of pictures. However, a high-resolution camera does not always mean better pictures; lens quality, lighting and focus affect image quality just as much as the number of megapixels.
Tethering/phone as a modem
Many 3G phones or ones with GPRS can be used as a modem with your laptop. However, it is important to remember that doing this can make you accrue additional charges, depending on your mobile tariff.
WiFi
This is a local area network (LAN) and similar to a network in an office, except it is wireless. If your mobile phone, laptop, PDA or other multimedia device is WiFi enabled, you can connect to the network for internet browsing and downloading. If you have an iPhone, BlackBerry or other smartphone, using WiFi is a great alternative to using the phone’s own data connection. The connection speed is much faster, and you’ll not use any of your tariff’s allowance.
