EDGE - Introduction of High-Speed Data in GSM/GPRS Networks

Overview EDGE can be introduced in two ways: (1) as a packet-switched enhancement for general packet radio service (GPRS), known as enhanced GPRS or EGPRS, and (2) as a circuit-switched data enhancement called enhanced circuit-switched data (ECSD).

This white paper discusses the packet-switched enhancement, EGPRS; how enhanced data for global evolution (EDGE) can play an important role in the evolution toward wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA); and to describe EDGE technology in general.

Orange speeds up mobile internet access

The service is based on an enhanced version of Europe's GSM standard, called HSCSD (high-speed circuit switched data). Orange will launch a follow-up service, known as GPRS (general packet radio service) by the end of the year.

Nokia brings music to users' ears

The phone uses Edge (Enhanced data for GSM evolution) technology to enable data transfers of up to 118.4Kbps - more than twice that of current General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) networks. He revealed that Nokia will be introducing Edge in most of...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
