GPRS is a mobile data transfer system that allows multiple users to use the same streaming channel through their cell phone by opening it only for the time that it is in use by each user, instead of having continuous access to a network.
The system comprises a series of functions that provide data streaming and transfer between GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) cell phones. GPRS can send data at a speed of 115 kilobits per second, depending on network availability.
