Radio Services

The introduction of GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) is one of the key steps in the evolution of today’s GSM networks for enhancing the capabilities of data communication. Data traffic is increasing enormously (over both wired and wireless networks), with the growth in demand for Internet access and services paralleling that for mobile communications. Users want access to the Internet while they are away from their offices and homes, and surveys have found that the vast majority of business professionals want the ability to send and receive email, browse the Web and transmit text and graphics on a portable device. That is why the main applications driving Mobile Internet development are email clients and Web browsers.

The demand for high-speed Internet access will be the key driver for coming generations of wireless services, and GPRS can deliver the necessary speed. GPRS allows innovative services to be created, enabling new and previously inaccessible market segments to be addressed and increasing customer loyalty.

GPRS applications can be developed as both horizontal and vertical applications. Vertical applications are specific, including those for operations such as reaching police and emergency, taxi, delivery or automated services (vending machines, supervision, vehicle tracking). Horizontal applications are more generic and include those for Internet access, email, messaging, e-commerce and entertainment.

GPRS is able to take advantage of the global coverage of existing GSM networks. Applications developed for GPRS can be deployed on a large scale and can reap the associated benefits. GPRS also provides a secure medium for connections to private networks, banking and financial services.

With GPRS, the T226 sends data in “packets” at a very high speed. The T226 remains connected to the network at all times, using transmission capacity only when data are sent or received. For details, see “GPRS technical data” on page 52.
