GPRS is used to boost wireless data transmission over GSM networks. GPRS can achieve 171.2 kilobits per second (kbps), which is about three times as fast as the data transmission speeds possible over today's fixed telecommunications networks and ten times as fast as current GSM networks. Unlike existing digital wireless Net connections, no dial-up modem is necessary. General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)

Several radio channels can be bundled together, so that transmission rates of up to 171 kbps (in practice, approx. 50 kbps) are theoretically possible. Unlike HSCSD which uses curcuit switching, GPRS is based on the relaying of individual data packets. The Internet Protocol ( IP) is used for this purpose, and every mobile data device is given its own IP address. With GPRS, the user can be permanently online. The available RF channels are divided amongst all the subscribers. Billing is not on the basis of time spent online but instead is based on the amount of data transmitted. This data service is therefore especially suited to dialogue-oriented applications like WAP,i-mode(tm)and e-mail.
