3. Evolution of 2.5G Technology
1980s, cellphones operated on analog 1G technology
Early 1990, Digital 2G technology became available on GSM standard
2.5G wireless technology was a steppingstone that bridged second-
generation (2G) wireless technology and third-generation (3G) wireless
technology

4. Evolution of 2.5G Technology
The jump from 2G to 2.5 required just an upgrade over existing 2G
infrastructures
It just needs compatible handsets and a few modifications to the base
stations

6. HSCSD(High Speed Circuit Switched Data)
New high speed implementation of GSM
Four times faster than GSM (transfer rate : 57.6Kbps)
Operates across a GSM network(no extra hardware is required)
Requires software upgrade
Consecutive user time slots
ideal for dedicated streaming internet access or real-time interactive web
sessions
Inefficient use of channels

7. GPRS (General Packet Radio service)
Packet-based wireless communication service
Data rate : 171.2 Kbps
Provides continuous connection to the Internet
Cost users less than circuit-switched services
Upgraded network architecture(new network elements operates alongside the
existing element)

9. GPRS (General Packet Radio service)
extension of existing 2G network
capacity of launching packet based services
packet switched domain in addition to circuit switched domain
data rates : 56 Kbps upto 384 Kbps
Provides secure communication

10. Services
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)
Internet communication services : e-mail and World Wide Wireless Web
(WWW) access
Data transfer is typically charged per megabyte of traffic transferred

11. EDGE (Enhanced Data Rate for GSM Evolution)
upgrade to the existing GSM / GPRS networks
implemented as a software upgrade to existing GSM / GPRS networks
Data rate higher than GPRS(up to 384 kbps)
New network architecture entities that are needed for the EDGE upgrade are:
SGSN
GGSN
PCU

12. EDGE
Uses 200 KHz bandwidth with 8 time slots
48 kbps data rate in each time slot
Requires advanced upgrades at BS
Lesser coverage area

13. IS-95B
Evolution of IS-95
Initial specification for the system was IS95A, but its performance was later
upgraded under IS-95B
Data rate: 115 Kbps
Improved voice quality
Enables a greater number of users to be supported as compared to TDMA and
FDMA
CDMA system re-uses the same channels

14. i-Mode (Internet Mode)
Evolved from PDC(Personal Digital Cellular)
Supports text, graphics, audio, and video for Web access
Packet-data transmission
i-Mode phone utilizes a micro-browser to browse i-Mode enabled site
i-Mode enabled website utilizes pages that are written in C-HTML
