 In 1st G AMPS(Advanced Mobile system)
developed in U.S in 1983
 In 2nd G there was introduction of
CDMA,TDMA and GSM
 Between 2nd and 2.5th G of GPRS
 Between 2.5th and 3rd G there was an
introduction EDGE TECHNOLOGY

 Enhanced data for global
evolution(EDGE) is a high speed mobile
data standard , intended to enable
second generation global system for
mobile communication (GSM) and time
division multiple access(TDMA).
 Transmits data at up to 384 kilobits per
second(Kbps)
 Evolutionary path to 3G services for GSM
and TDMA operators
 Builds on General Packet Radio Service
(GPRS) air interface and networks
 Phase 1 (Release’99 & 2002 deployment)
supports best effort packet data at speeds
up to about 384 kbps
 Phase 2 (Release’2000 & 2003 deployment)
will add Voice over IP capability
 Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution

 Can increase the capacity and data throughput

typically to 3-4-fold over GPRS
 Theoretical maximum speeds of up to 473
kilobits per second (kbps)
 Average recognizable data rates between 80
and 130 kbps
 TDMA carriers must still convert to GSM, then
add GPRS before deploying EDGE technology
 Packet based networked over existing circuit
switched GSM network.
 GPRS radio resources are used only when users
are actually sending or receiving data.
 Rather than dedicating a radio channel to a
mobile data user for a fixed period of time, the
available radio resource can be concurrently
shared between several users.
 Brings desktop experience to wireless such as
web browsing and chat.
 Enables file transfer and home automation.
 GPRS packets are sent in all different
directions to reach the same
destination
 Potential for packet getting lost or
corrupted during the data transmission
over the radio link.
 Though it incorporates data integrity
and retransmission strategies,
potential transit delays can occur.
EGPRS introduces changes to GPRS only on the base station system part of the
network.
 EDGE – Enhanced Data GSM
Environment.
 Developed to increase the bandwidth
of GPRS technology.
 EDGE increased the bandwidth of GSM
from 144 Kbps to 384 Kbps.
 Migration towards 3G technology
started.

 Short-term benefits: Capacity and performance
 Mid-term benefits: Complementary technology
 Long-term benefit: Harmonization with WCDMA
 For Operator:
• Migration to wireless multimedia services
• Improved customer satisfaction
• Quick network implementation
• Optimized network investment as GSM
enhancement
o EDGE enables operators to introduce
3G data applications into existing GSM
existing GSM networks and thereby
increase the speed of packet oriented
transmission three-fold.
• Mobile Internet access
• Mobile Office
• Field sales/service
• Wireless access to databases
o Messaging
o Fleet Management
o Location Based Info Service
o Security/Supervisory Systems
o Video Telephony
o Electronic commerce
 Point Of Sale
Electronic Banking
Electronics Cash
Electronic Payment
• Balanced improved bit rate at all radio
conditions
• No hardware, software change to GSM
core networks
• Supports download various file types
• Handle four times the traffic of standard
GPRS
• Triples gross data rate by GSM
• Circuit-switched and packet-switched
traffic coexist
• EDGE requires base station
modifications

• Extra mobile terminal hardware and

software required

• Frequently referred to as 2.75G

 EDGE technology has succeeded the technology
previously used in mobile phones.
 Low risk of investment thanks to the dual mode
of GSM/EDGE (Slot by slot)
 It support the same technology as GPRS but it
has got higher data rates of more than
400kbits/sec
 EDGE allows the delivery of advanced mobile
services such as the downloading of video and
music clips, full multimedia messaging, high-
speed Internet access and e-mail on the move.
