Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) is a radio based high-speed mobile data standard which acts as an enhancement for general packet tadio service (GPRS) 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. 6, record 1, English, - Enhanced%20Data%20Rates%20for%20GSM%20Evolution

La technologie EDGE (débits binaires améliorés pour les GSM de demain) vise à permettre aux opérateurs AMRT [accès multiple par répartition dans le temps], GMSC [centre de commutation pour les services mobiles de transit] et GPRS [service général de paquets radio] de fournir des services de la prochaine génération. Elle utilise les même canaux radioélectriques et intervalles de temps que les systèmes GSM [système mondial de communications mobiles] et GPRS [service général de paquets radio] et n'a donc pas besoin de bandes de fréquences additionnelles. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9bits%20binaires%20am%C3%A9lior%C3%A9s%20pour%20les%20GSM%20de%20demain
