EDGE - Enhanced Data for Global Evolution
A technology that gives GSM the capacity to handle services for the third generation of mobile telephony. EDGE provides three times the data capacity of GPRS. Using EDGE, operators can handle three times more subscribers than GPRS; triple their data rate per subscriber, or add extra capacity to their voice communications. EDGE uses the same TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) frame structure, logic channel and 200kHz carrier bandwidth as today's GSM networks, which allows existing cell plans to remain intact.
It's speed is 2-3 times faster than GPRS, which means that in real terms you could expect 90-120k connection, though as it's a packet radio standard that will be degraded severely if the signal strength is not strong or if there is interference.
