Chapter 4 CDPD Connectivity 4.1 CDPD Overview Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) is an open system definition that uses digital transmission on analog cellular (AMPS) channels to provide mobile packet-switched data services. The purpose of CDPD is to provide mobile access to the services available through standard connectionless data protocols such as IP. CDPD could be considered to be a wireless extension to the Internet that is available anywhere.
4.2.2 CHAPTER 4. CDPD CONNECTIVITY Mitsubishi MobileAccess 100 Because of its form factor, Mitsubishi MobileAccess 100 has probably the most potential for being the best open CDPD based Two-Way Pager. As of this writing (mid 1998), unfortunately it is very difficult to use Mitsubishi MobileAccess 100 as a CDPD modem because of its tight bundlings with PocketNet.
4.4. WINDOWS CE CDPD MODEM INTEGRATION 4.3.1 25 CDPD Coverage Map First you need to make sure that the geographical areas in which you are interested in, do have CDPD service coverage. Neda keeps a relatively recent coverage map for CDPD.

CHAPTER 7. ACCESSING NEDA PERSONAL COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATION SERVICES (PCCS • Message Server : msg.neda.com • NNTP Server : nntp.neda.com • NS Server : ns.neda.com and ns2.neda.com 7.2 Using Enhanced Two-Way Paging One of the primary services offered by Neda Communications is wireless messaging, using the Enhance Two-Way Paging (ETWP) protocols. The wireless messaging provided by Neda Communications allows you to send and receive standard e-mail messages using a wireless device.
7.3. ACCESSING A POP MAILBOX 39 Because the ETWP messages are sent using wireless communication, and you must pay for each wireless connection, you probably do not want to use ETWP as your primary e-mail address. One way to use ETWP is to configure your standard e-mail client to forward only certain messages to your ETWP address. For example, you can configure your standard e-mail client to forward only urgent messages to your ETWP address. 7.
