GPRS can increase the speed of 3G and Internet services.
GPRS stands for "general packet radio services." It is a radio wireless connection service for computers, mobile devices and modems that can be used to create an ongoing connection to the Internet or establish private connections with other mobile devices.
GPRS Transmitter
If a device has an embedded GPRS transmitter, this means that the device -- most likely a cellular phone or PDA -- has GPRS capability. GPRS transmitters are otherwise usually contained in modems, which can be plugged into such devices. GPRS capability means that GPRS data can be sent and received via the transmitter, whether connecting to the Internet or establishing a private network.
Stock/Delivery Control and Monitoring
Embedded GPRS transmitters can also be used in logistics in a similar way to how GPS transmitters are used. GPRS transmitters can be placed on trucks, vans and even stock with their transmissions read by a central GPRS computerized monitoring system.
Advantages of GPRS
GPRS has two main advantages over other older wireless systems. It is cheaper, because the service is packet based, meaning that users can share the same connection; and it is also faster, making it possible to carry out real-time functions on the Internet, such as remote conferencing or real-time monitoring.
