EDGE (Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution) is a specification for data transfer on GSM networks.

EDGE features both a packet capability, EGPRS (Enhanced General Packet Radio Service), and a circuit switched capability, ESCD (Enhanced Circuit Switched Data).

EDGE packs up to 69.2Kbps into eight timeslots, for a total theoretical bandwidth of 473.6Kb.

GERAN (GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network) is the name given to the 3GPP standards for GSM/EDGE radio access.

EDGE is an update to GPRS. In turn, EDGE will eventually be replaced by WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access).

EDGE Compact - The Universal Wireless Communications Corporation has introduced a standard for EDGE over IS-136 TDMA networks. This standard has been named EDGE Compact.

It allows people to connect to the Internet and send and receive data, including digital images, web pages and photographs, three times faster than possible with an ordinary GSM/GPRS network. EDGE enables GSM operators to offer higher-speed mobile-data access, serve more mobile-data customers, and free up GSM network capacity to accommodate additional voice traffic. (Source: Ericsson)

bharti/airtel enabled a LIVE premier of a three hour movie (rok sako toh rok lo) on EDGE enabled handsets becoming first cellular service in the world to premiere a full-length movie on mobile :d :d

loads of more things to happen in mobile service marketing....
