Siemens SL45 Connectivity and Communication

Connectivity and Communication

In terms of connectivity, the Siemens SL45 was rooted firmly in its era, supporting GSM 900/1800 bands, but lacking GPRS or EDGE for mobile internet. The absence of a loudspeaker, Bluetooth, WLAN, and USB connections was typical of phones of that period. However, it did offer infrared connectivity, a common early method for short-range data exchange, eschewing more modern connectivity solutions that we take for granted today. Its communications capabilities were primarily limited to SMS messaging and voice calls, with a WAP 1.1 browser offering rudimentary web access.
