re: GPRS Update

Kent,

<< Achieving the theoretical maximum GPRS data transmission speed of 172.2 kbps would require a single user taking over all eight timeslots without any error protection. >>

172.2 kbps (unoptimized raw data speed) is as theoretical as 1xRTT at 614 kbps (and I wish CDG would update the !@#$%^& website). <g>

ISDN comporable effective throughput (with optimization) was the objective.

The article below is worth a read. It is pretty realistic, pretty current, pretty authoress, pretty well researched, reasonably accurate.

Hope the link works.

I just clipped the opening paragraph:

The wealth of trials and pilots initiated over the last twelve months all over Europe has greatly titillated the expectations of the markets. According to levelheaded observers, over-hyped prospects could be disappointing. <<
