theory capable of data transfer speeds of up to 118 Kbps
- operating in 850, 1800 and 1900 MHz
bands.

support the 850, 1800 and 1900 MHz GSM bands all

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.
- EDGE networks are
theoretically capable of transferring data at
speeds of up to 384 Kbps
- Nokia 6200 will support
data transfer speeds of up to 118 Kbps
