EDGE = Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution.

Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) is a digital

mobile phone technology which acts as a bolt-on
enhancement to 2G and 2.5G (a.k.a.GPRS) networks.This
technology is working in TDMA and GSM networks.EDGE
(also known as EGPRS) is a superset to GPRS and can
function on any network with GPRS deployed on it (provided
the carrier implements the necessary upgrades).

Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution. A technology that
gives GSMA and TDMA similar capacity to handle services for
the third generation of mobile telephony. EDGE was
developed to enable the transmission of large amounts of
data at a high speed, 384 kilobits per second. (It increases
available time slots and data rates over existing wireless
networks.) Also known as Enhanced GPRS (E-GPRS).

Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution. An enhanced
modulation technique designed to increase network capacity
and data rates in GSM networks. EDGE should provide data
rates up to 384 Kbps. EDGE will let operators without a 3G
license to compete with 3G networks offering similar data
services. EDGE is not expected before 2001 at the earliest.

EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment), a faster version
of the Global System for Mobile (GSM) wireless service, is
designed to deliver data at rates up to 384 Kbps and enable
the delivery of multimedia and other broadband applications
to mobile phone and computer users.

EDGE allows higher data transmission speeds based on the
GSM standard. This system is sometimes referred to as
2.5G, to denote a halfway house between the
GPRS-enhanced GSM technology and UMTS. Thanks to
improved coding, data rates of up to 48,000 bits per channel
are possible with EDGE. The acronym E-GPRS, also
frequently used, stands for "Enhanced GPRS" =
enhancement of the GPRS standard. When EDGE and GPRS
are combined, data rates of up to 384 kilobits per second
are possible.
