Registering with a Carrier6CDPD, short for Cellular Digital Packet Data, is also known as "Wireless IP".It is a data transmission technology developed for use on cellular phonefrequencies. CDPD uses cellular channels (in the 800 to 900 MHz range) totransmit data in packets. This technology offers data transfer rates of up to19.2 Kbps, quicker call set up, and better error correction than using modemson an analog cellular channel. CDPD is based on TCP/IP, the same protocolsthat power the Internet. See the document on CD-ROM forAll About CDPDJust as you would do with a cell phone, you must first register for service with alocal CDPD carrier. The Wireless Portfolio will work with any CDPD carrier.Decide which carrier offers the best plan to meet your CDPD needs, then registerTypically, two service carriers will be available to a CDPD user. One will beknown as the A-side carrier and the other is know as the B-side carrier. Youmay register with the A-side carrier, the B-side carrier, or both of the carriers.Be sure to record this information.
