GPRS
Definition: General Packet Radio Service. It is an enhancement to GSM technology that integrates GSM and IP technology. . Runs at up to 114 kbps; average throughput is slightly slower than that of 56-kbps modems. GPRS is the "new, improved" way of passing data over a mobile phone network. Until GPRS, the standard method of surfing the net, getting emails or, most commonly, using WAP on a mobile phone was done using the circuit-switched method - dialling up, staying online, then logging off. GPRS allows for what has become known as "always on" data connection for GSM mobile phones, allowing for faster WAP browsing, web surfing and email.
