"YES 2 GPRS" White Paper

Overview The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a new nonvoice value added service that allows information to be sent and received across a mobile telephone network. It supplements today’s Circuit Switched Data and Short Message Service. GPRS is not related to GPS (the Global Positioning System), a similar acronym that is often used in mobile contexts. GPRS has several unique features, which can be summarized in this paper.
