GPRS
General Packet Radio Service
A packet-oriented mobile data service on 2G and 3G cellular communication
systems.
GPRS was originally standardized 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).
GPS
