GPRS “always on" mobile technology

With the dawning of the Mobile Internet revolution you can’t afford to be left behind. It will be those operators who get to market first with innovative services who will be in prime position when full 3G capabilities become commercially available. For operators, the Mobile Internet offers a golden opportunity to create new services that not only attract new customers, but also win their long term loyalty.

Opportunities that open the door to new and lucrative revenue streams. But before that, there’s plenty to think about. First you need to plan your data network. Then you need the applications and terminals. And you need a strategy to ensure you benefit from your investment well into the future. And, in all likelihood, you need the support and guidance to put all these components together. To do this, you’ll need a technology supplier who can offer an end-to-end solution, and understands the bigger picture.

What is GPRS?

GPRS is a packet-based data bearer service for GSM and TDMA networks. It is being rolled out by operators around the world as the first vital step towards 3G. GPRS gives mobile users faster data speeds and is particularly suitable for “bursty” Internet and intranet traffic. It makes mobile data faster, cheaper and more user-friendly than ever before. With GPRS-enabled mobile devices, users can be “always on” the Mobile Internet, so that, for example, e-mails arrive instantaneously. GPRS provides end-to-end IP connectivity that can be used to connect corporate LANs, ISPs and operators’ own service LANs.

GPRS gives almost instantaneous connection set-up, and allows charging on the basis of data transmitted rather than connection time. As a packet data technology, GPRS only uses network resources and bandwidth when data is actually transmitted. This makes extremely efficient use of available radio bandwidth. Today’s GSM and TDMA networks provide the foundation on which third generation mobile will be built. And by implementing a GPRS solution you will take the first vital step towards 3G capabilities.

Building the GPRS infrastructure is relatively fast and cost-efficient when compared with establishing most new communications systems. It requires new functionality in the GSM/TDMA network, and new types of connections to external packet data networks, but essentially GPRS will be an extension of current networks. All in all, that means a huge advance in your service capabilities, for a relatively small investment.

You can enhance your network further with EDGE, a high-speed modulation technique that will allow data services and applications at speeds of up to 384kbit/s, and, for those who have access to additional 2GHz radio spectrum, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) Ready for the future to introduce wideband radio access multimedia services at data rates of up to 2Mbit/s. With GPRS in place, you can start developing the market for high-speed multimedia services well before your 3G network is operational. And in the 3G future, your subscribers will be able to move between new wideband WCDMA and EDGE coverage areas using multi-band, multi-mode terminals – with seamless connectivity. .
