Benefits - Do not pay for the time you are on the service
Users pay for the data that is sent and received, not the amount of time you spend on the service. For example, when reading an email users only pay for receiving the e-mail and not the time spent reading or writing a reply.
- Stay connected for long periods of time
As the user is not paying for the time you are on the service, you can stay connected for long periods and not have to worry about being charged.
- Faster data speed that GSM CSD
Typical Mobile Data speed is around 44 kbps as against <14kbps for CSD.
- Secured Transport Layer
GPRS allows a dedicated APN to be assigned to a corporate. Access to this dedicated APN is restricted at the Network level which includes provisioning the APN into the corporate user's SIM chip.
- Service Level
With a dedicated APN, data flow, fault detection and service availability can be monitored to ensure a reliable service offering to the corporate customer
- IP Protocol
GPRS is based on data packet structure which corresponds to the IP protocol. Corporates can therefore seamlessly implement all existing and future services based on this IP Protocol (eg surf the internet, email, e-commerce etc)
