In this paper the importance of GPRS and EGDE technology is focuses .The introduction of wireless communication has allowed many people around the world to live their lives and conduct business in ways that was never before possible. There are now a million of cellular subscribers that have become accustomed to always having a cell phone with them wherever they travel. Now, businesses are wanting to be able to connect to the office when they are out of the office so they can check their mail, make a searching on the Internet, accessing company files via internet, sending faxes and data whenever and wherever it is needed. Currently there are various wireless data services are available, but a new skill “General Packet Radio Service” offers much animation to clients. Keywords: GPRS, EDGE, Packet Switching. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. INTRODUCTION The technology EDGE is provides the advancement facility over the GPRS one. Bit rates with higher term is provided or achieved in EDGE which is very important parameter so far as the technology is to be concern. EDGE [1] an improvement to the GPRS air interface that enables higher user bit rates and greater system capacity by enhancing the physical layer. The higher bit rates place extra demands on parts of the GPRS network. The core GPRS nodes, SGSN and GGSN, are more or less free of user bit rates and no new hardware is required. In the radio network, base location transceivers need to be EDGE-capable, and base location and BSC/PCU software needs to be updated. 1.1 GPRS(General Packet Radio Service) The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) [1, 2] is a new non -voice value added service that allows information to be sent and received across a mobile telephone network. It supports today’s Circuit Switched Data and Short Message Service. GPRS is not equivalent to GPS (Global Positioning System) that often used in mobile phones. The evolution of the mobile networks is progressing from the existing second -generation of mobile networks to the third generation of mobile networks that are able to handle high-speed multimedia traffic. GPRS provides instant connections. This is why GPRS users are sometimes referred to be as being "always connected". In the new era of information the mobile phone will do the job more than just the voice calls operations. It will be more than the communication device that will allow greater and proper sending and receiving of data, sending and receiving of graphic images and video clips. 1.2 Key User Features Of GPRS Speed Theoretically, maximum speed of GPRS is up to 171.2 kilobytes per second (kbps) is achievable by using all eight time slots. This is about three times as fast as the data transmission speeds possible over today's fixed telecommunications networks and it is ten times as fast as current Circuit Switched Data services on GSM networks . GPRS is relatively cheap service as compared to that of SMS and Circuit Switched Data.

No dial-up modem connection is necessary. 1.3 Configuration Diagram Of GPRS Fig 1: Configuration Diagram of GPRS 2. SERVICE ACCESS To use GPRS, users specifically need: A mobile phone or incurable that chains GPRS (existing GSM phones do NOT support GPRS) A donation to a mobile telephone network that supports GPRS Use of GPRS must be enabled for that user. regular access to the GPRS may be allowed by some mobile network operators, others will require to definite opt-in Knowledge of how to send or receive GPRS information using their specific model of mobile phone, counting software and hardware organization (this creates a customer service requirement) A destination to send or receive information during GPRS. Whereas with SMS this was often another mobile phone, in the case of GPRS, it is possible to be an Internet address, since GPRS is calculated to make the Internet fully available to mobile users for the first time. GPRS users can access any web page or other Internet applications - providing an immediate critical mass of uses. 3. KEY NETWORK FEATURES OF GPRS 3.1 Packet Switching With GPRS, the information is split into separate but related "packets" before being transmitted and reassembled at the receiving end. package switching is similar to a jigsaw puzzle- the image that the puzzle represents is divided into pieces at the manufacturing factory and put into a plastic bag. 3.2 Spectrum Efficiency IJRISE| www.ijrise.org|editor@ijrise.org [5-8] International Journal of Research In Science & Engineering Volume: 1 Issue: 3 e-ISSN: 2394-8299 p-ISSN: 2394-8280 Because of the spectrum good organization of GPRS, there is less need to build in idle capacity that is only used in height hours. GPRS therefore lets network operators make the most of the use of their network resources in a dynamic and flexible way, along with user access to resources and reven ues. 3.3 Network Aware The World Wide Web is becoming the primary communications interface - people access the Internet for entertainment and information collection, the intranet for access corporation information and connecting with colleagues and the extranet for accessing customers and suppliers 4. EDGE Technology – (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) Edge (Enhance data rate for GSM evolution) is a radio signalling technology for 3G mobile networks. EDGE use for mobile facility such as downloading of video and music clips full multimedia messaging high - speed colours internet access and e-mail on the move. EDGE Technology (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution Technology) EDGE technology is an extended version of GSM. 4.1 EDGE benefits Benefits of EDGE technology are as follows 1. Short-term benefits: Capacity and performance 2. Easy implementation on a GSM/GPRS network 3. Cost effective 4. Increase the capacity and triples the data rate of GPRS 5. Enabling new multimedia services 6. Long-term benefit: Harmonization with WCDM 4.2 Architecture Fig-2 :VLR- visitor location registers IJRISE| www.ijrise.org|editor@ijrise.org [5-8] International Journal of Research In Science & Engineering Volume: 1 Issue: 3 e-ISSN: 2394-8299 p-ISSN: 2394-8280 5. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EDGE AND GPRS General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a mobile data service [1,6] available to users of GSM and IS-136 mobile phones. GPRS data transfer is usually charged per megabyte of transferred data, while data communication via conventional circuit switching is billed per minute of fix time, independent of whether the user has actually transferred data or he has been in an idle state . Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) or Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), is a digital mobile phone technology that allows increasing data transmission rate and improving data show reliability. It is usually classify as a 2.75G network technology 6. CONCLUSION Both the GPRS & EDGE technology are useful depending upon the requirement of the user. GPRS and will provide a massive boost to mobile data usage and value. That much seems assured from its elastic characteristic set, its latency and good organization and speed. The only question is how soon it takes off in earnest and how to ensure that the technical and commercial features do not hinder its widespread use. EDGE is delivering high bit rates and spectrum efficiency for GSM operators around the world, and is a standard capability for GSM and WCDMA phones. In effect, EDGE enables 3G applications such as mobile broadband over current GSM networks, and provides seamless services with 3G.
