allows for communications via multiple sources. One such source is data. For most users, this is represented by email and the Internet. GPRS is one type of network used to deliver that data.
What does GPRS Mean?
GPRS stands for General Packet Radio Service. GPRS data is delivered on second generation (2G) and third generation (3G) networks. GPRS is a best-effort service, meaning that quality of service is guaranteed during the connection. This means that the network has the ability to set a different priority for disparate uses.
How Does it Work?
GPRS is a packet-based service. Packet-based services split up data into manageable chunks in order to transmit the data over a network. The data is buffered and queued in order to use the network's adapters, switches, routers and nodes most efficiently.
Where is GPRS used?
GPRS is used around the world on various GSM cellular networks. GSM in the United States includes AT&T and T-mobile. Widespread usage of GPRS ensures that consumers with GPRS phones can access data services worldwide.
