|
|
|
3 |
cellphone user to stay connected to the Internet. The data gets delivered at a
|
|
|
4 |
rate of around 56kbits/sec in GPRS network. The technology also allows the
|
|
|
5 |
mobile phone users to get access to applications that were unavailable on <a href="file:///D:%5CSmriti%5CHelp%20Text%5CGSM.html">GSM</a> network due to speed
|
|
|
6 |
limitation. Blackberry emails and <a href="file:///D:%5CSmriti%5CHelp%20Text%5CMMS.html">MMS</a> can also be sent through
|
|
|

GPRS.<br>

In GPRS, a single piece of information is divided into small packets. If the
|
|
|
10 |
user is sending an e-mail, it will be divided into packets. Each packet will
|
|
|
11 |
take the shortest route within the network to reach the destination. <br>
|
|
|
12 |
<br>
|
|
|
13 |
GPRS is better & cheaper than the circuit switching technology because the
|
|
|
14 |
users are charged only for the total amount of data, which is being transported
|
|
|
15 |
over the network. Whereas, in circuit switching, user has to pay the charges
|
|
|
16 |
even if he is in an idle state.<br>
