What is Next?

To enhance the current data capabilities of GSM, operators and infrastructure providers have specified new extensions to GSM Phase II. These extensions are:

• High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD): by using several circuit channels.
• General Packet Radio Service (GPRS): to provide packet radio access to external packet data networks (such as X.25 or Internet)
• Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution (EDGE): using a new modulation scheme to provide up to three times higher throughput (for HSCSD and GPRS)
• Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS): a new wireless technology using new infrastructure deployment.
