Enhanced Features - Nokia 6090 Release Notes

AT+COPS is implemented
Operator selection via AT commands.
It is now possible for an external device to remotely select the network operator to be
used whilst roaming. Since phone calls and SMS costs vary greatly depending on the
network operator being used, this feature enables international transportation companies
for example to save operating costs.

3. Enhanced Features

Detailed explanation about changes is provided in the examples shown in the appendix.
Improvement of AT+CMEC handling.
The right value for CMEC <keyp> acts as an enabler to execute +CKPD.
Mobile Equipment control mode via AT-command reacts according to GSM 07.07
specifications. Sticking to open standards makes development of applications easier for
more developers.
Improvement of AT+CPWD
PIN & PIN2 passwords can now be 8 digits using an external device (old version only 4
digits), providing greater security.
Improvement of +CREG unsolicited result code.
"lac" & "cell id" can be displayed only if the phone is camped on (according to GSM
07.07 specifications). It is possible for an external device to know in which area the Nokia
6090 is located. Depending upon the application, this feature would for example allow a
fleet headquarters to determine the region in which the vehicle is located (provided the
phone is camped on - phone on and PIN entered).
Improvement of AT+CALA.
Deactivation of alarm is now also possible via AT-command.
It is possible for an application running on an external device to remotely fully control the
alarm function of the phone, thus enabling for example the driver be alerted in case of
drive or sleep overtime. The alarm function can now automatically be deactivated when
the alarm is no longer required (e.g. if the vehicle is being driven, a driver wake-up alarm
may be cause a distraction. It can therefore be deactivated by the application).
Update of AT+CIND.
Indicator control via AT-command reacts fully according to GSM 07.07.
An external device can query the status of the Nokia 6090 remotely and react
accordingly. For example, after noticing the Nokia 6090 receiving a call, the external
device can query the status of the Nokia 6090 each time before ringing or flashing.
Handling of concatenated SMS.
SMS with user data header & port numbering will be not handled as Narrow Band Socket
SMS and ignored, but will be fully taken into consideration by the Nokia 6090. Therefore
messages that are longer than 160 characters can be read by the user or the application.
