What wireless networks does ArcGIS Mobile work with?
ArcGIS Mobile is designed to communicate with ArcGIS Server through the mobile data access Web service. This is a SOAP Web service that ArcGIS Mobile clients use to communicate over any Internet connection that supports HTTP access. For wireless access, you can expect ArcGIS Mobile to connect over a Wi-Fi (802.xx), satellite, or cellular network that provides HTTP access. On the market you will see a range of cellular services promoted: GPRS, EDGE, HSPDA, UMTS, EVDO, and so forth. These are different types of cellular data services that run over the core global system for mobile communication (GSM) or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) networks maintained by the leading cellular carriers. Each of these provides HTTP access on the mobile device with varying upload and download speeds. Typically, download speeds are faster than upload speeds, but they do vary greatly based on geography and cellular carrier implementation. ArcGIS Mobile is ideal for posting GIS edits from the mobile dev
