GPRS
The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a non-voice service that allows information to be sent and received across a mobile telephone network.
The two main advantages of GPRS are speed and instant access. It is about 3 times faster than data transmission over fixed telecommunications networks and, subject to radio coverage, it facilitates instant connections - no modem is necessary. This is important in time critical applications, for example, credit card authorisation.
GPRS has also introduced several new applications that have not previously been available over GSM networks. You can utilise popular Internet applications for web browsing and chat over the mobile network, transfer files and explore home automation to provide the ability to remotely access and control in-house appliances and machines.
Note: It is not related to GPS (the Global Positioning System), a similar acronym that is often used in mobile contexts.
