Quickreply, ALL, including older GSM handsets adjust their TX power level, the "complex" thing is how the network figures out and adjusts, optimizes thta level and then sends out the normal commands to the handset. (plus how the handset reports on the signal quality is receives, and informs the basestaion, which then adjusts the power level basestation->handset) Adjustments specified in +/- 1dB steps. (appr +/-10%) for the handset. Only difference for really old handsets with slightly fewer steps. Note, the real issue of power level control is in the direction basestation -> handset, the dowstream or "download lots of data" directions, Basestations can do much more.

Thanks: <Hankkia hyvä viikonloppu.> To steal, buy, beg or get, in whatever method possible, a good weekend.. Nobody promised finnish would be easy, one need to specify if it is to me,you,him/her, us, many of you or they or just a question of the possible method One funny possibility might be "Häv ö hyvä viikonloppu", many tongues in the mouth are a pleasure (tongue=language in finnish, Häv ö = almost original english with those dots and skipping the -e which isn't there anyway) Ilmarinen I still belong to the anti-"have a good this-or-that" club, my libertarian individual right to have a good or other anything in any way or whenever I or we want to or not. However, greetings,etc in different languages are intersting, although curses are even more interesting

Almost exactly a year after it staged Ireland's first live 3G demonstration, the company has proposed a mixture of 3G in urban areas and Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) technology everywhere else. EDGE has been described as a solution to delays in the availability of 3G equipment. However, it is also a much cheaper option. O2 Ireland is one of the first European operators to publicly announce it is considering EDGE technology. It is not clear at this point exactly how the proposals will be received by the Commission for Communication Regulation (ComReg). The commission has always maintained that rollout targets must be met, and there are penalties for failing to meet commitments laid out in the licenses. In February, O2 unveiled its first series of wireless local area network (WLAN) hot spots, marketed as a high-speed alternative to dial-up Internet access. The company said it plans to install similar WLAN networks in airports, train stations and apartment complexes. << - Eric -
