Capacity and Capability EDGE Mobile Technology The Third Generation (3G)

As mentioned in the previous point, have the EDGE data transfer, for example, could EDGE technology is three times faster than GPRS technology. Artinya, bila pelanggan selular ingin mendownload pesan MMS dengan teknologi GPRS memerlukan waktu puluhan detik, tapi dengan teknologi EDGE, hanya perlu waktu beberapa detik saja.

Another advantage, if the technology has GPRS data transfer capability up to 114 Kbps, EDGE technology capable of supporting data, multimedia services up to 384 Kbps. EDGE is a new term for GSM 384. This technology is called GSM 384, because it has a transmission capacity up to 384 Kbps.

According to the World Association GSM, EDGE can even reach speeds up to 473.8 kbps. With EDGE, operators can provide mobile data communication services with higher speeds than GPRS, which is only capable of GPRS data transmission speed of about 25 Kbps. So also when compared to other platforms, EDGE capability to reach 3-4 times the speed of telephone wire line access (usually around 30-40 kbps) and nearly 2 times the speed of CDMA 2000 1x is only about 70-80 kbps. About the services provided this technology, namely the third-generation service applications of high-quality streaming audio, streaming video, games on line, high speed download.
[edit] implementation of the EDGE

As the name suggests, EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution), is a technology developed with the basic technologies GSM and GPRS. An EDGE system was developed by using the device remains found on the GSM / GPRS network. So can not EDGE alone. A GPRS system consists of the SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node) and GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node), which is corenya network, which added to a previous GSM network. While on the radio, GPRS network requires the addition of PCU in GSM network radio devices before. The figure below shows the GPRS network diagrams in general.

Implementation of existing EDGE GPRS network requires only the addition of the radio access side only. While on the side of the core network, EDGE uses the device and protocol similar to that used in previous GPRS network. Differences GPRS and EDGE networks only in akssnya radio side only, while the core network side, EDGE and GPRS using the tools and the same protocol. A GPRS network can be upgraded into a network with EDGE system by simply adding a Transceivier EDGE Unit (TRU) on the side of the radio access.
