What is GPRS communication?
Communication General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a wireless technology that uses a packet switching network to transfer data. It is associated with the 2.5 (2.5 g) wireless networks. GPRS is why mobile devices can send multimedia messages (MMS), download software, check e-mail and use immediate message sending.
Packet switching is an improvement compared to the communication technology of switching circuits. Switching circuits requires a predetermined communication line to transfer data. No other transmission can use this line for transmission. It's called reserved networks. This is ideal for voice calls that must be transmitted in a consecutive order in order to make sense. GPRS communication allows the data to be divided into packets and sent by free space on any available line. Packets are re -assembled at the target point. Networks that do not use dedicated Rows for each transmission are called non -connecting networks without connection. Data can be continuously transmitted.This allows voice calls and instant push-to-talk messages that require constant data exchange.
Transmission speed for GPRS communication is 114 kilobytes per second. This allows adequately fast transmissions. Without increased speed, wireless networks would be too slow to replace image messages, video files and e -mail or download software.
Before communicating GPRS, it was possible to send and receive data, but expensive and slow. Only 10 short messages (SMS) text messages can be sent per minute with second generation wireless devices (2G). GPRS allows up to 30 SMS texts per minute. Third generation wireless devices (3G) and the fourth generation (4G) also use GPRS communication technology. The increased Bandwidth of later generation of wireless networks allows transmission speeds of more than 10 megabytes per second.
GPRS communication reduces the cost of use per person. Switching circuits requiredthat the customer pays for the use of the entire line during voice calls and data transmissions. The data was charged per minute, no matter how much data it was actually downloaded. The fees for switching packets for Megabyte and the rate is much cheaper because more customers use the same line.
General Radio Service of General Packets has been improved since its first implementation in 2000. These improvements allowed to use GPRS to make voice calls. Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) uses computers to call phones and mobile phones. VoIP uses internet networks switching packets instead of traditional telephone cables.
