The Wonders Of GPRS

GPRS standing General Package Radio Service is a protocal for data transfer over a mobile phone network.
GPRS replaced the dial-up mobile phone Internet access, offering faster browsing of Internet content and email. It was the unique "always on" internet service" for handheld gadgets.GPRS on a mobile phone doesn't use a phone number to connect, it uses something called an APN (Access Point Name). With this clever protocal, you don't pay for your online time per-minute, you pay for the amount of data you transfer. The protocal has now been largely superseded by faster data network services known as 3G!

WAP & GSM

Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)
The WAP standard describes a protocol suite allowing the interoperability of WAP equipment and software with many different network technologies, thus allowing the building of a single platform for competing network technologies such as GSM and IS-95 (also known as CDMA) networks.
Before the introduction of WAP, service providers had extremely limited opportunities to offer interactive data services, but needed interactivity to support now-commonplace activities such as:

  • Email by mobile phone
  • Tracking of stock-market prices
  • Sports results
  • News headlines
  • Music downloads
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications)
GSM is the most popular standard for mobile telephony systems in the world, it is used by over 1.5 billion people spreading over across 212 countries. Within the GSM network there are five different cell sizes ranging from Macro, Micro, Pico, Femto and Umbrella cells.

This standards agency tries hard to keep an eye on what the users of the web are looking for, this agency is useful and can improve web efficiency. you should take this in to consideration for all sorts of people when making a site, all sorts of people maybe affected ie disabled people.
