GPRS is a next generation communications platform which overlays a GSM wireless network to give subscribers
high-speed wireless data access.


I didn't realize GPRS was an overlay on GSM.

The Nortel Networks GPRS core network solution is based on the widely deployed Nortel Networks Passport*
and Contivity* Extranet switches,..


Didn't Nortel acquire the Contivity switch from Bay?

Nice to see Nortel as first to provide a country wide GPRS network.
