BLUETOOTHTM WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY The R520 has built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, which operates in a globally available 2.4 GHz radio frequency band, and ensures fast and secure communications up to a range of 10 metres between devices. Please note that in countries where the use of Bluetooth wireless technology is not allowed, you must ensure that the Bluetooth function is set to off.
Using Bluetooth Wireless Technology In The R520 The built-in Bluetooth wireless technology allows a very fast data transfer speed, when one or more Bluetooth devices is within a range of 10 metres. For example, the services available via infrared communication are replaced by Bluetooth wireless technology communication, and with a better performance.
Coverage area Up to 10 metres (33 feet) Transmission power 1mW (0dBm) Frequency band 2.4 GHz - the unlicensed ISM band Power consumption Standby current: < 0.3 mA (3 months*) Voice mode: 8-30 mA (75 hours*) Data mode average: 5 mA [0.
SYNCHRONIZE CALENDAR AND PHONE BOOK In everyday life, access to an updated calendar and addresses of friends and business colleagues is greatly appreciated. To be truly mobile, users must be able to carry their important information with them. Equipping mobile phones with Personal Information Manager (PIM) programs like calendars, to-do lists and address books gives users access to their most important data anywhere and anytime.
Synchronize Over Wide Area Network And Internet Remote calendar The R520 supports Wide Area Network (WAN) remote synchronization to give users the same service without them having to be at the ofÞce or at home. Features include synchronizing the phone with calendar information on the web or on the corporate network, and sharing and updating information in a work group. Synch over WAP The synchronization in the R520 with a remote Internet calendar takes place over WAP according to IrMC 1.
One phone can synchronize with an unlimited number of Pcs/PDAs. If the synchronization software is upgraded to XTNDConnect PC, one PC can be partnered with several different phones. This is vital if, for example, each member in a work group has his/her own the R520, and needs to synchronize with one PC. It makes it easy, for example, to download a common company phone directory to the phone book in each company mobile phone.
XTNDConnect PC All users of the R520 can easily upgrade to the full version of the synchronization software. A number of features and supported applications will then be added, including XTNDConnect Phone Viewer. ¥ Phone book and calendar synchronization for the R520 ¥ XTNDConnect Phone Viewer makes phone data easy to enter.
WAP SERVICES The typical WAP client is a small, portable device which is connected to a wireless network. This includes mobile phones, pagers, smart phones, PDAs and other small devices. In these devices, you have a limited user interface, low memory and computing power compared to desktop and laptop computers. The WAP browser in the R520 is compliant with WAP June2000 (WAP 1.2.1) and includes WTLS class 3 and mechanisms for digital signatures.
Easy create for WAP Creating a WAP service is no harder than creating an Intranet/Internet service today since WML and WMLScript are based on well-known Internet technology. New market segments can be addressed by launching innovative mobile Value Added Services. Using standard tools It is possible for the service creator to use standard tools like ASP or CGI to generate content dynamically. You can utilize existing investments in databases etc that are the basis of existing Internet services.
Feature Support in the R520 WAP browser Hyperlinks in Images Yes, indicated by a frame Image Animation No Image Formats GIF (interlaced and non-interlaced), WBMP, no transparent layers. Network Settings Up to 5 different settings available by selecting WAP proÞle (Intranet, Internet, Banking, Gateway etc) OTA Support Yes PPP Authentication PAP, CHAP and MS-CHAP Reload page Yes Tables Yes User Agent ProÞles Yes, list of client characteristics - e.g.
Bearer Type Characteristics The phone accesses WAP services over SMS or IP, where IP can be provided either over GSM Data or GPRS depending on network services. Typical differences which distinguish the bearer types are listed below. GPRS Access ¥ The connection is maintained ÒconstantlyÓ, as required by the application, and data is transmitted in packets. This means that the phone is connected almost all the time without using network capacity.
Gateway Characteristics The WAP Gateway provides services in the companyÕs Intranet, a banking or stock trading service on the Internet, or access to other WAP applications on web addresses anywhere on the Internet. A Gateway is identiÞed by an IP number or by a phone number, depending on access type. Security Using WAP The R520 is based on the WAP June2000 (WAP 1.2.1) speciÞcations where security functionality is speciÞed with a technology called Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS).
cuted on the client, or alternatively is loaded and stored in the cache for later use. In both cases, the SL is loaded without any user intervention and is not further described here. When a service indication is received in the R520, it is presented to the user in one of the following ways: High Immediately displays the message irrespective of the current activity. Medium Message is immediately displayed, unless the user is engaged in another activity.
MOBILE INTERNET AND E-MAIL The Mobile Internet offers much more than mobile access to the Internet - it opens up a whole new range of situation-based services. Services that give us anytime, anywhere access to personalized communications, information and entertainment. The R520 is built to facilitate the use of and access to services on the Internet. The R520 also enables new technologies such as mobile positioning to create new commercial and productivity solutions.
Remote Calendar Users of the R520 can utilize WAP and GPRS by having their calendar and other organizer functions updated via the Internet and in real time while on the move. Companies and organizations can install web-based calendars and information storage. See ÒSynchronize Over Wide Area Network And InternetÓ on page 13. Mobile Positioning The geographic location of mobile subscribers can be used to provide them with related information and a variety of services.
GENERAL PACKET RADIO SERVICES The R520 supports GPRS (General Packet Radio Services), which means that the data is sent in packages at a very high speed. The phone remains connected to the network all the time without using any transmission capacity, until data needs to be sent or received. This illustration gives a comparison. 9.600/14.400 1 GSM 9.600 or 14.400 bps 9.600/14.400 9.600/14.400 2 HSCSD 19.200 or 28.800 bps 9.600/14.400 9.600/14.400 13.400 3 GPRS 53.600 bps 13.400 13.400 13.400 13.
large Þles, images etc. Cost efÞcient GPRS being an IP-based connection means that a high transmission capacity is only used when needed. This makes it possible to stay connected via GPRS, whereas keeping a constant circuit switched connection would be more expensive. WAP over GPRS Access the Internet via WAP at high speed and with a constant connection. The user can run the WAP functions, such as browsing, synchronization of calendar and phone book.
MODEM AND AT COMMANDS The R520 contains a complete GSM modem. This provides data and e-mail communication, as well as Internet/Intranet access, for a connected PC, PDA or handheld device. Once the PC/ PDA is connected to the phone using Bluetooth wireless technology, infrared or a cable, and the appropriate software is installed, the modem in the phone works in a similar way to a PC Card modem, or an external modem.

INFRARED TRANSCEIVER Infrared communication creates a data link between two communications devices through an infrared beam of light. On the R520, this link is used as a wireless connection with desktop computers, PDAs, Ericsson handheld computers, laptop PCs, other phones (for example, the R520), and other hardware supporting the standard. The Infrared Data Association (IrDA) has set the hardware and software standards that form the infrared communication links.
is minimized. The infrared link is a serial connection, which means that the data bits are sent one after another in a long stream. The IrDAÐSIR Data Link Standard is a protocol that makes transmission of data faultless. The IrDAÐSIR standard provides a high level of noise immunity, which means that it is not sensitive to ßuorescent light, sunlight and electromagnetic Þelds. This makes it suitable for a modern ofÞce environment.
FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES In-phone Functions And Features Profiles The proÞle feature: a group of settings preset to suit a certain environment. The proÞles are also related to intelligent accessories such as a desktop charger, a portable or vehicle handsfree; useful for company integration with call forwarding etc. Some phone accessories select a proÞle automatically. For example, when you place your phone in a car handsfree unit, the ÒIn carÓ proÞle is chosen.
Hierarchical Phone Book In a company or an organization, you may need to deploy several phones with a common set of phone book entries. This is done in one of the following ways: ¥ Use the Ericsson Phone Book and SMS Manager on your PC to prepare the common phone book entries. Then send the phone book entries from the PC to each and every phone. See the UserÕs Guide. or ¥ Prepare the phone book on one SIM card in one phone.

Business Card Exchange Business cards can be exchanged with other devices, according to the vCard speciÞcation. vCard information can include name, address, phone number, e-mail address, but also elements like pictures, company logos, live Web addresses, and so on. Any IrDA-equipped device that supports vCard can ÒbeamÓ business cards, including PDAs, PIMs, laptops and phones. Fixed Dialling And Restricted Calls For a company or an organization, it can be useful to restrict phone calls.
SIM APPLICATION TOOLKIT The SIM Application Toolkit (SIM AT) is a smartcard-centric method of deploying programs that apply only to GSM and to SMS and USSD transports. Programs must be distributed on smartcards. WAP is an Internet-centric method of deploying programs that is independent of network technology. Programs and content are kept centrally on web servers and downloaded as required.
