Siemens to provide AT&T Wireless GSM/TDMA mobile phone

09:06 Tuesday March 19, 2002, Telecom.paper

Siemens on March 18 announced at the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Wireless 2002 Show that it will provide the S46 mobile phone to AT&T Wireless starting this month. The S46 is the first available phone in the world to combine GSM and TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) functionality, giving consumers the freedom of extensive domestic and international roaming. The S46 also is GPRS-enabled to support high-speed wireless data access and Internet browsing. An optional MP3 player headset provides music listening capability. The MP3 player includes a 32 megabyte MultiMediaCard that stores up to 50 minutes of music. Additional functionality includes a personal organizer that synchronizes with Microsoft Outlook and IBM Lotus Notes, mobile Internet access via a WAP browser, voice-activated dialing, and a built-in data and fax modem. The GSM capability eliminates the need for users to switch phones when traveling in Europe and Asia, and the TDMA technology allows for broader coverage in North America as well as coverage in most of Latin America. The S46 automatically selects the preferred network with a built-in search mechanism that initially looks for a GSM signal and then for a TDMA signal if a GSM connection is unavailable.

"..The S46 also is GPRS-enabled.."

For TDMA users?

The challenge of GAIT handsets is to afford TDMA users the ability to access to the full plate of GSM/GPRS services.

There appears to be no indication that Siemens is GAIT enabled, but merely multi-mode for rudimentary connectivity.
