Communcation using ISDN/MPDS modes
What's Mobile ISDN ?
ISDN delivers a constant data communications at 64 kbps (Felcom 50/70) maximum and is best suited for exchanging large files and images, as well as voice/fax communications and videoconferencing. The user is charged for the time duration connected to the services, but not for the amount of the data transmitted
What's the Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS)?
MPDS is best suited for frequent network transmissions, which are less urgent or involve smaller amounts of data. The user only pays for the amounts of data transmitted and received, rather than for the time connected.Thus, MPDS will let you stay online constantly, making it ideal for e-mailing and web-browsing.
