1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description
When your application needs to receive data up to 3.6 Mbps download or transmit up to 386Kbps, the
MTX-HSPA-PH8-P+G terminal is the solution based on HSDPA technology.
The HSPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) is a transmission standard based on the UMTS network
which allows a download speed of up to 3.6 Mbit/s. The technology therefore enables services like
broadband internet, e-mail access, high-speed download of large data files and streaming of videos or
music.
The MTX-HSPA-PH8-P+G is a complete terminal that encapsulates everything you need in one compact
plug-and-play unit. The integration is almost not needed because it has its own SIM card reader and a
USB port plus RS232 port which minimize the need for further hardware components.
The MTX-HSPA-PH8-P+G is controlled via AT commands and standard interfaces such as Serial RS232 &
USB 2.0 full speed and RIL/NDIS driver.
When the UMTS-HSDPA network operation is not present, the MTX-HSPA-PH8-P+G can operate in EDGE
class 10 max. 236.8 kpbs (DL), max. 118 kbps (UL) or in GPRS class 10: max. 85.6 kbps (DL), max. 42.8
kbps (UL)
The MTX-HSPA-PH8-P+G can also work in simple CSD data transmission (GSM data rate 14.4 kpbs, V.110,
UMTS data rate 57.6 kpbs V.120) as well Short Messaging (SMS) and FAX specifications. It also has an
analogue interface and is capable to make voice communication calls.
As a plus feature the MTX-HSPA-PH8-P+G adds a GPS receiver and NMEA protocol in the third multiplex
channel (MUX GSM 07.10 protocol is needed).
The MTX-HSPA-PH8-P+G is manufactured with SMD Technologies with the ISO 9001 & IS0 14001 Quality
certifications and it is RoHs / WEEE compliant.
A full list of antennas, cables, supplies and accessories are available.
The MTX-HSPA-PH8-P+G terminal is powered by an internal SIEMENS Wireless Module PH8.
Note! Some of the functions described inside this Technical Description are only possible when the SIM-
Card is inserted.

Normal
operation
GSM /
GPRS / UMTS /
HSPA SLEEP
Power saving set automatically when no call is in progress and the USB
connection is suspended by host or there is no active communication
present via ASC0.
GSM /
GPRS / UMTS /
HSPA IDLE
Power saving disabled (see [1]: AT^SCFG "MEopMode/
PwrSave", <PwrSaveMode>) or a USB connection not suspended, but no
call in progress.
GSM TALK/
GSM DATA
Connection between two subscribers is in progress. Power consumption
depends on the GSM network coverage and several connection settings

connection). The following applies when power is measured in TALK_GSM
mode: DTX off, FR and no frequency hopping.
GPRS DATA GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on network
settings (e.g. power control level), uplink / downlink data rates and
GPRS configuration (e.g. used multi-slot settings).
EGPRS DATA EGPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on network
settings (e.g. power control level), uplink / downlink data rates and
EGPRS configuration (e.g. used multi-slot settings).
UMTS TALK/
UMTS DATA
UMTS data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on network
settings (e.g. TPC Pattern) and data transfer rate
