GPRS is a technology for transmitting data over a GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) wireless network. It uses packet switching and supports IP. GPRS is a 3G (third-generation) cellular technology and was implemented in 1999 and 2000. Data rates are at least twice that of the fastest telephone modem.
