in 2001, while Japan took the leap directly from 2G to 3G. One such technology
is 2.5G GPRS (General Packet Radio System), based on packet transmission and w
channels are shared among different users in a dynamic way. GPRS coexists with
the infrastructure deployed in it, but offering the user a more efficient service car
communications, especially in the case of access to IP networks like the Internet.
theoretical speed that can reach GPRS is 171.2 kbit / s (about 18 times higher tha
speed experienced by the user in practice is influenced by various factors and can
kbit / s in the downlink and 9.6 kbit / s on the rise. The main advantages are GPR

other hand, HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data) is a specification of the GS
standardized by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) in Febr
from 1999. With this technology, the number of channels used in GSM equivalent
data communication is variable, allowing transmission speeds of up to 57.6 kbit /
HSCSD is that investment to be implemented is minimal, although it has a disadv

Evolution) is another of the development of GSM networks, theoretically allowing
kbit / s. This is a technology that improves the bandwidth of data transmission in
be regarded as a precursor to UMTS. In fact, EDGE and UMTS are complementary
together may give support to the needs of the operators to achieve global coverag
generation networks.
Third-generation (3G)
3G technologies are contained within the IMT-2000 (International Mobile
Telecommunications-2000) of the ITU, which can be regarded as the guide to
mark the common points that must be met to achieve the goal of global
roaming, ie that a 3G terminal user can communicate with any 3G network in
the world. The services offered by 3G technologies are basically: Internet
access, broadband services, international roaming and interoperability. But
fundamentally, these systems allow the development of multimedia
environments for the transmission of video and images in real time,
encouraging the emergence of new applications and services such as
videoconferencing or electronic commerce. Precisely UMTS (Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System) is one of the members of this family of IMT-2000
standard. Among the attributes of UMTS can be highlighted: virtual
connectivity to the network all the time, different forms of pricing, asymmetric ba
down, setting the quality of service (QoS), integration of technology and standard
networks, customized services environment, and many others. In terms of data t
of 3G technologies, you can set different work environments, even up to 2 Mbit /
operation, such as the environment inside an office. This capability is far superior
technologies, enabling the development of multimedia genuine.
