You’re in the market for business mobile phones for your company. You would like to ensure that your staff have the latest connection technologies to enable them to remain in touch, wherever they are. Let’s get rid of some of the confusion sometimes surrounding connectivity terms.
3G, GPRS, EDGE, and GSM are all technologies used by smartphones to make voice or data connections.
GSM is becoming something of a standard in the UK, Europe and parts of the rest of the world. It is used mainly for voice, but in conjunction with the GPRS Core Network, it can also be used for internet access and data transfer.
GPRS allows data and internet access at speeds of around 60kbps. It is a very robust, tried and tested connection system, though if you are used to broadband speeds it might seem a little slow.
A more recent development is EDGE, which enhances GPRS speeds to around 470kbps. Because it relies on modifications to cell transmitters, reception can be hit-and-miss in some areas, though it is seen as an important technology of the near future.
3G was developed for video calls, but the high bandwidth demands for video have made it a fast and reliable way to connect to the internet at speeds equivalent to EDGE. 3G is now available throughout the UK and in parts of Europe.
