Edge

EDGE is a 2.75G network technology that allows for increased data transmission rates and improved reliability over GSM networks. It has been introduced worldwide since 2003, initially in North America, and can support applications like internet access and multimedia services. Future developments may allow EDGE to reach speeds of 1 Mbit/s and latencies of 100ms. Bluetooth provides a way for devices like phones, laptops, and cameras to connect and exchange information over a secure short-range radio frequency. The Bluetooth specifications are developed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group. Wi-Fi is a brand for wireless local area networks that uses the IEEE 802.11 specifications. It was originally for laptops but is now used

Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution

Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) or Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), is a
digital mobile phone technology that allows to increase data transmission rate and improve data
transmission reliability. It is generally classified as a 2.75G network technology. EDGE has been
introduced into GSM networks around the world since 2003, initially in North America.

It can be used for any packet switched application such as an Internet connection. High-
speed data applications such as video services and other multimedia benefit from EGPRS'
increased data capacity. EDGE Circuit Switched is a possible future development.

On March 14 2007, Ericsson announced plans for EDGE Evolution, an upgrade to EDGE
that permits 1 MBit/s peak speeds and latencies down to 100 ms, using the existing network
infrastructure. EDGE Evolution is included in Release 7 of the 3GPP standard, and products are
expected to arrive in 2008.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs).
Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile
phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital cameras, and video game consoles over a secure, globally
unlicensed short-range radio frequency. The Bluetooth specifications are developed and licensed
by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group.

Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a brand originally licensed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to describe the embedded
technology of wireless local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11 specifications.
Wi-Fi was developed to be used for mobile computing devices, such as laptops in LANs, but is
now increasingly used for more services, including Internet and VoIP phone access, gaming, and
basic connectivity of consumer electronics such as televisions, DVD players, and digital
cameras. More standards are in development that will allow Wi-Fi to be used by cars on
highways in support of an Intelligent Transportation System to increase safety, gather statistics,
and enable mobile commerce (see IEEE 802.11p). Wi-Fi and the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED logo are
registered trademarks of the Wi-Fi Alliance - the trade organization that tests and certifies
equipment compliance with the 802.11x standards.
