5.4 Data Connection

There are two types of IP packet communication services:

*: The streaming IP packet communication method provides uninterrupted transmis-

sion of audio and video, provided you are within the guaranteed bandwidth. However,

if you can accept broken audio and video, you can use the standard IP communica-

tion. When selecting which service to use, consider whether stable communication or

communication fee is important.

Note: The cost of streaming IP packet communication may be unexpectedly high, so

please use caution.
