  High Speed Circuit Switched Data
  HSCSD
  
     <communications> (HSCSD) A planned feature of GSM Phase 2
     defining a standard for circuit switched data transmission
     over a GSM link at up to 57.6 (78.8?) kbps.  This is
     achieved by concatenating up to four consecutive GSM
     timeslots, each of which is capable of 14.4 kbit/s.  It uses
     multiplexing and compression or filtering.
  
     The following services toward the fixed network are
     supported: V.34 up to 28.8 kbps and V.110 with rate
     adaptation up to 38.4 kbps.
  
     HSCSD is aimed at mobile workstation users.  As it is
     circuit switched, it is suited to streaming applications
     such as video conferencing and multimedia.  Bursty
     applications like electronic mail, are more suited to
     packet switched data (as in GPRS).
