GPRS
General Packet Radio Service. A packet-switched technology that enables high-
speed wireless Internet and other data communications. GPRS offers a tenfold
increase in data speed over previous technologies, up to 115kbit/s (in theory).
Typical real-world speeds are around 30-40 Kbps. Using a packet switching,
subscribers are always connected and always on-line, so services will be easy
and quick to access. GPRS is considered a “2.5G” technology, meaning it is more
advanced than standard 2G digital technology, but does not meet the requirements
of a full-fledged 3G technology.
