Nokia 6200 - World's first EDGE phone

 


At COMDEX, Nokia is unveiling the world's first GSM/EDGE mobile phone in theory capable of data transfer speeds of up to 118 Kbps - operating in 850, 1800 and 1900 MHz bands.

  • could be commercially available as soon as in the first quarter of 2003

GSM evolution to EDGE is widely considered a much needed technology enhancement because it alleviates some voice traffic bandwidth and enables higher data throughput, and as a result maximizing overall efficiency and performance of the network and services. Building on existing packet-based data overlay technologies, EDGE networks should be capable of delivering data speeds initially more than double that of existing GSM/GPRS networks.

  • Nokia 6200 will support data transfer speeds of up to 118 Kbps
