72 Section 3E: Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sprint PCS Connection Manager?

Sprint PCS Connection Manager is software that lets you connect to the Sprint

Power Vision/Sprint PCS Vision network. Sprint PCS Connection Manager takes

advantage of the increased data speeds offered by the Nationwide Sprint PCS

Network.

If the connection is “always on,” am I always being billed?

No. The connection to the network goes dormant after a period of inactivity, but

the connection can be re-established faster than having to reconnect. Billing

occurs only when data is passed across the network.

How fast is the connection with Sprint PCS Connection

Manager?

The Sprint PCS Network allows you to connect to the Internet at speeds of up to

3.1 Mbps (1xEV-DO Rev. A), 2.4 Mbps (1xEV-DO Rev. 0), or 144 kbps (1X). Average

connection speeds are:

For 1xEV-DO Rev. A: between 600 and 1300 kbps downlink from the network, and

between 300 and 400 kbps uplink to the network;

For 1xEV-DO Rev. 0: between 400 and 700 kbps downlink from the network, and

between 40 and 80 kbps uplink to the network;

For 1X: between 40 and 80 kbps.

This is faster than a dial-up connection.

Can I connect to a dial-up account like AOL or EarthLink?

No. The software does not support dial-up connections.

Once I connect to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, how

do I access my corporate network through a VPN?

Once you complete a wireless connection, you may need to launch an extranet

client provided by your company and supply the appropriate username and

password to gain access. For support, contact your company help desk.
