High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD) A planned feature of {GSM Phase 2} defining a standard for {circuit switched} data transmission over a {GSM} link at up to 57.6 (78.8?) {kbps}. This is achieved by concatenating up to four consecutive GSM {timeslots}, each of which is capable of 14.4 kbit/s. It uses {multiplexing} and {compression} or filtering. The following services toward the fixed network are supported: {V.34} up to 28.8 kbps and {V.110} with rate adaptation up to 38.4 kbps. HSCSD is aimed at {mobile workstation} users. As it is circuit switched, it is suited to {streaming} applications such as {video conferencing} and {multimedia}. {Bursty} applications like {electronic mail}, are more suited to {packet switched} data (as in {GPRS}). {Ericsson (http://www.ericsson.com/wireless/products/mobsys/gsm/subpages/wise/subpages/hscsd.shtml)}. {(http://www.gsmworld.com/)}.
