Streaming over EGPRS

Enhanced general packet radio service (EGPRS) is a new technology that provides higher bit rates and better error protection for packet-switched data transmissions, compared to the traditional GPRS technology. Especially video streaming which requires higher bitrates in order to achieve sharp image quality and fluent motion. GPRS allowed the introduction of streaming service with adequate quality, but better technology is needed in order to provide a more enjoyable service. The purpose of this article is to show what new benefits EGPRS brings to packet-switched streaming service (PSS).
