General Packet Radio Service         
<communications> (GPRS) A GSM data transmission technique that does not set up a continuous channel from a portable terminal for the transmission and reception of data, but transmits and receives data in packets. It makes very efficient use of available radio spectrum, and users pay only for the volume of data sent and received. See also: packet radio. (1999-09-12)
General Packet Radio Service         
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a packet oriented mobile data standard on the 2G and 3G cellular communication network's global system for mobile communications (GSM). GPRS was established by European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in response to the earlier CDPD and i-mode packet-switched cellular technologies.

General Packet Radio Service

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a packet oriented mobile data standard on the 2G and 3G cellular communication network's global system for mobile communications (GSM). GPRS was established by European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in response to the earlier CDPD and i-mode packet-switched cellular technologies. It is now maintained by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

GPRS is typically sold according to the total volume of data transferred during the billing cycle, in contrast with circuit switched data, which is usually billed per minute of connection time, or sometimes by one-third minute increments. Usage above the GPRS bundled data cap may be charged per MB of data, speed limited, or disallowed.

GPRS is a best-effort service, implying variable throughput and latency that depend on the number of other users sharing the service concurrently, as opposed to circuit switching, where a certain quality of service (QoS) is guaranteed during the connection. In 2G systems, GPRS provides data rates of 56–114 kbit/s. 2G cellular technology combined with GPRS is sometimes described as 2.5G, that is, a technology between the second (2G) and third (3G) generations of mobile telephony. It provides moderate-speed data transfer, by using unused time-division multiple access (TDMA) channels in, for example, the GSM system. GPRS is integrated into GSM Release 97 and newer releases.

Examples of use of General Packet Radio Service
1. Motorola said on Tuesday it would supply global systems for mobile/general packet radio service infrastructure.
2. Currently, internet access on mobiles in the region is only viable through general packet radio service (GPRS) technology.
3. A shortcoming of the initial model is that it will use General Packet Radio Service, or GPRS, for data transfer.
4. He said GPRS, or General Packet Radio Service, could be the next network to go, since this relatively slow second–generation digital technology isn‘t compatible with newer cellular broadband networks.
5. "I know employees who buy and sell shares during office hours, making financial gains at the expense of their public office." Another government employee who wished not to be named echoed that sentiment saying even in departments, which blocked websites of stock markets, employees found a way through Etisalat‘s GPRS or the General Packet Radio Service that provides access to the internet and data through GSM mobile phones.
