Information on Facsimile Service

GSM supports CCITT Group 3 facsimile, allowing transmission to or from a mobile station that supports this service.
     Source coding of fax data is identical for conventional fax and mobile.
     The mobile service treats the fax data the same as other non-voice data (i.e. for channel coding, modulation etc.)
     Fax and data services between mobile and fixed networks rely on the provision of a suitable interface at the network boundaries. This interface must operate differently for

  • voice (translation of source coding),
  • data (provide modem and handshaking protocols), and
  • fax (provide modem and fax handshaking protocols).

    •      Data and fax handshaking protocols differ in the first station to transmit - for data it is usually the answering terminal, for fax it is the calling terminal.
