GPRS utilizes up to eight 9.05Kb or 13.4Kb TDMA timeslots, for a total bandwidth of 72.4Kb or 107.2Kb. GPRS supports both TCP/IP and X.25 communications. EDGE (Enhanced Data-Rates for GSM Evolution) enabled GSM networks are able to implement EGPRS (Enhanced General packet Radio Service), an enhanced version of GPRS. EGPRS increases the bandwith of each timeslot to 60Kb. For more information on GPRS security, read GSM and GPRS Security by Chengyuan Pen.
