Mascom launches EDGE-enabled Mobile Internet

A statement from Mascom says the Mascom Mobile Internet has been made possible by the company significant investment in a data network that has now been upgraded from GPRS to Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), which enables faster data transfer speeds.

EDGE is a high-speed mobile data standard, an enhancement of the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network which Mascom introduced in 2005. It is the next step in the evolution of GSM and takes Mascom closer to UMTS, often referred to as 3G.
