These 'inbetween' 2.5G upgrades for GSM networks include GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data), and EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution), and all promise speeds somewhere between today's pitiful...
The Timeport devices showcased to industry onlookers in New York are based on General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) technology, which speeds up data transfer rates to 12 times those of GSM. Martin Campiche, VP of Motorola's Personal Communications...
For instance, the GSM network, supported by EDGE (enhanced data rates for global evolution) and GPRS (general packet radio service), can now increase the bandwidth available. The process behind the awarding of third generation mobile (3G) licences...
