Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / October 2006EDGE, PC Card and Cingular Proxy
Anyone know how to utilize Cingular's proxy server with a PC card/EDGE network? I know how to connect to WAP (WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM), and I can set the proxy in my browser to use proxy:wireless.cingular.com, port 80. But, when I connect to a website, like Google, the browser wants to download a file type of wml. Other sites just display garbage on the screen. The reason I want to try this is because I get around 140-160 kbps on my PC card, but 180-200 kbps on my phone. The phone utilizes the proxy. The PC card is using ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM. Thanks >Anyone know how to utilize Cingular's proxy server with a PC card/EDGE >network?

That because it's a WML/WAP proxy, which only works with a WAP browser (e.g., Microsoft Mobile Explorer 3.0). >The reason I want to try this is because I get around 140-160 kbps on >my PC card, but 180-200 kbps on my phone. The phone utilizes the proxy. The proxy shouldn't have any real bearing on network speed. What it does is reduce the amount of data traffic. The Google WAP proxy is an alternative that works better with regular browsers. >The PC card is using ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM. That would be faster with ISPDA@CINGULARGPRS.COM -- see Data Acceleration in the FAQ below.

The primary benefit seems to come from greatly compressing graphics; the visual result is significantly degraded, but still quite usable, and the performane boost is substantial, on the order of 2x for typical graphics-heavy web pages. In addition, compressible email attachments larger than 8K bytes are compressed into .CAB files, which raise some possible issues (e.g., with anti-virus scanning), but I personally haven't found it to be a problem. Overall, DA works well enough that I normally use it rather than a raw connection.

It's a XP Dial-up connection using the Sierra card as a modem, connecting to EDGE. Same performance as using Watcher or Communications Manager. >> >> That would be faster with ISPDA@CINGULARGPRS.COM -- see Data >> >> Acceleration in the FAQ below.
