Gprs architecture

In GSM phones are in general international mobile equipment identity number etc. And are used to track the location of a cell phone. While in GPS system is digital map etc are used to track the location in real time.

Communication via GPRS is cheaper than through the regular GSM network . Instant-messenger services and mobile email facilities allow you to send longer messages for cheaper rates through the GPRS connection, as opposed to transmitting messages in SMS or short message service.

(i.e. inclusion if GGSN and SGSN). The UMTS architecture takes advantage of the existing GSM and GPRS networks which serve as a core network in UMTS infrastructure. The main difference between the UMTS and GSM come with the new radio interface called as Uu .

The main difference between GSM and GPRS is that GSM is used for the delivery of voice messages and data using the facility of digital modulation and works on the circuit-switched network whereas GPRS has provided higher network qualities and works on 2.5G technology with the packet-switch network.
