Introduction

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)

Mobile evolution

1st generation mobile communication

2nd generation mobile communication
2.5th generation mobile communication
3rd generation mobile communication
3G and above

EDGE Technology
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

 EDGE
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

2.5G (Between 2G and 3G)
Uses General Packet Radio Services (GPRS)
technology.
GSM and TDMA were enhanced to packet based
networks
GPRS is primarily a simple software upgrade on GSM
and TDMA
Easy for the service providers to update their
networks

12/08/21 8
2.5G characteristics
Data rates 64 – 144 Kbps.
A leap from 9.6kbps of 2G to 64Kbps
Packet based networks.
Always-on connectivity.
Instant messaging + small attachments.
New wireless standards started emerging.

12/08/21 9
GPRS shortcomings
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.

EDGE Technology
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.

Applications
 
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

Conclusion
EDGE paves the way into mobile multimedia
applications whilst offering the maximum of
investment protection:
  No need for new network elements
Low risk of investment thanks to the dual mode of
GSM/EDGE (Slot by slot)
