GPRS SYSTEM

Abstract

The name, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) doesn't convey much
information to the non-technical user. Describing it as providing a direct link into the
Internet from a GSM phone, is much clearer. GPRS is to mobile networks what ADSL
(Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is to fixed telephone networks - the favoured
solution for providing fast and inexpensive Internet links.GSM is a living, evolving
standard - growing and adapting to meet changing customer needs. The Wireless
Evolution is achieved through the GSM family of wireless technology platforms -
today's GSM, GPRS, EDGE & 3GSM.

It is a relatively low cost technology that offers packet-based radio service and
allows data or information to be sent and received across mobile telephone networks
designed to supplement the existing mobile technologies, like GSM, CDMA, TDMA etc.
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) enabled networks offer 'always-on', higher
capacity, Internet-based content and packet-based data services. This enables
services such as colour Internet browsing, e-mail on the move, powerful visual
communications, multimedia messages and location-based services.
