Overview 1

Overview

PC300 Communications Summary

Your Sony Ericsson PC300 Mobile Broadband PC Card keeps you in touch, enabling you to use the

best available mobile service wherever you are. It supports tri-band UMTS and quad-band GSM:

Your PC300 supports the following communications services:

Where UMTS service with HSDPA is available, your PC300 can connect at speeds up to 3.6Mbps.

Your PC300 provides automatic fallback to to UMTS where HSDPA is not available and to EDGE

or GPRS service where UMTS is not available (network support required). This section describes

the services that the PC300 supports:

• High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA)

HSDPA is an enhancement to UMTS networks which enables the downlink speed to

be dramatically increased; up to 3.6Mbps using the PC300. File downloads will be faster,

whilst applications such as video streaming may operate at higher quality and greater

reliability. The maximum speed available depends on the configuration of the mobile

network and local conditions such as distance to the base station.

• Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS)

UMTS is a 3G technology standard for wide-area wireless data communication that is based

on the GSM standard. The UMTS standard uses advanced network operator mobile Internet

services to achieve data transfer rates up to 384 kbps, which are ideal for media streaming,

video MMS, instant shopping, and banking.

2Overview

• Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE)

EDGE enhances GPRS by increasing data throughput over GPRS by as much as three times,

depending upon the network radio signal strength and quality. GPRS networks that are enhanced

with EDGE are often referred to as Enhanced GPRS (E-GPRS) networks. EDGE provides the

“always on” capability of GPRS but at faster speeds. EDGE technology is transparent —

simply make a GPRS connection as usual and benefit from the increase in speed where EDGE

is available in a network. When EDGE is available you can expect increased speeds of up

to 200 kbps, dependent on network coverage.

• General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)

GPRS is a type of network connection that provides “always on” mobility. The connection

set up is fast. After you are connected, applications can send and receive data whenever

required. In today’s GPRS networks, the PC300 receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kbps

and transmits at speeds up to 26.8 kbps.

• Short Message Service (SMS)

You can send and receive SMS text messages using the Text Messages window in Wireless

Manager or other application software.

Hardware overview

Your Sony Ericsson PC300 Mobile Broadband PC Card is a standard 32-bit CardBus PC Card

with a 15mm extension which contains the GSM/UMTS antenna. An access door is provided which

allows you to connect an accessory antenna for improved radio performance in low signal locations.

Overview 3

The external antenna connector is an MMCX pattern.

The PC300 is a 3.3 volt PC card and has mechanical keying to prevent insertion in older 5 volt only

PCMCIA slots. Laptops 'Designed for Windows 98' and onwards have 3.3 volt support.

The amount of power that your PC300 draws from the laptop battery depends on several factors,

including status, frequency band, and distance to the base station that is used.

The PC300 can be turned off under software control from the Wireless Manager application or the

signal strength icon in the status tray. It is recommended that the user remove the card from the laptop

when flying to prevent any accidental transmission.

Protective Case

When it is not in use, you should store your PC300 in the protective case. You can affix a lanyard

to the case if required, so that you can carry your PC300 around your neck. The protective case can

also accomodate the accessory antenna.

Accessory Antenna GCA-14

GCA-14 is an accessory antenna to be used with PC300 Mobile Broadband PC Card in order to enhance

signal strength when using your PC Card in areas far from base stations or in areas with low GSM

or UMTS network signal strength.

To attach the accessory antenna

1. Open the antenna connector door in the plastic extension part of your PC300.

2. Plug the accessory antenna in to the antenna connector.
