RIM OEM Radio Modem for GSM/GPRS Wireless Networks
GPRS network technology
The Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) has become the international voice
communication standard. The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) supplement to the GSM
network was first proposed in 1992 to combine telecom and datacom, and the result has been well-
received. For more information on GSM and GPRS, visit

.
GPRS is a packet switched overlay to the circuit-switched GSM network that gives a mobile device
on that network “always on” capabilities. GPRS technology enables for a theoretical maximum
transfer speed of 171.2 kbps. It is also IP-based, which means that a mobile device on the GPRS
network is Internet-aware.
GPRS/GSM networks are deployed worldwide. Enabling GPRS communication on GSM networks
requires only two additional hardware devices and a software upgrade. Many GSM network
providers have already supplemented their networks with GPRS capability.
