What is GPRS? Answer: GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is the technology used by GSM Wireless carriers to transport data across their network. By breaking the data up into packets the network can transport the data at fast speeds and reliability. EDGE is an enhanced version of this technology which produces faster download speeds. UMTS (currently deployed in many major US Cities with AT&T) will display even faster speeds for Data transportation for both downloads and uploads utilizing the HSDPA technology.
In GSM cell phone systems, there will always be idle radio capacity. This is the capacity of a network provider that is not being used and it stays unused until other cell phone users decide to make phone calls. GPRS uses this idle radio capacity to establish a data network to be used for data transmission.very time slot that is not being used can be used by GPRS to transmit data packets. In a best case scenario, user can experience a GPRS data rate of approximately 170 kbps per network radio channel. In this scenario, only data transmissions are using the network channels without voice calls hogging the network.
