General Packet Radio Service refers to a new, packet-based wireless communication service that promises data rates from 56 up to 114 Kbps and continuous connection to the Internet for wireless phone and mobile computer users. The higher data rates as well as the "always connected" mode of operation will open the door to many new, non-voice applications and services. GPRS was designed to enhance GSM communications, but will probably be adapted and adopted by at least some network operators using technologies other than GSM.
Industry:Mobile communications
The global system for mobile communications service is the most widely adopted, digital cellular technology in use today. GSM uses time and frequency division techniques (TDMA and FDMA) to optimize the call carrying capacity of a wireless network. GSM also provides a number of carefully standardized and broadly supported capabilities such as Short Message Service (SMS), circuit switched data (CSD) and General Packet Radio Services (GPRS). Used on the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequencies in Europe, Asia and Australia, and the MHz 1900 frequency in America.
