Differences between WAP, GPRS, and WLAN

[Popularity] the difference between WAP, GPRS, and WLAN

The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a common group wireless service and a new group data bearer service developed on the existing GSM system. The most fundamental difference between GPRS and GSM systems is that GSM is an electrical switching system, while GPRS is a group switching system. GPRS is particularly suitable for intermittent, sudden, or frequent, small amount of data transmission, and occasional transmission of large data volumes. We can understand GPRS as a higher level of GSM.

Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a Wireless Application Protocol in Chinese, which is different from GPRS, it aims to introduce rich Internet information and advanced services to wireless terminals such as mobile phones. In a metaphor, both GPRS and GSM are on the road, while WAP is on the road. After China Mobile activated GPRS, WAP traveled on the GSM and GPRS roads, while traveling on the GPRS road could increase the data transmission speed. Therefore, the content on the current WAP can be browsed and applied through GPRS.

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) is a very convenient data transmission system. It uses the radio frequency (RF) technology to replace the outdated coaxial copper wire) the local area network makes it possible for users to use a simple access architecture to achieve the ideal state of "Portable Information and convenient access to the world.

Why Wireless Local Area Network
Local Network Management is one of the main tasks. It is easy to get bored when laying cables or checking whether cables are broken or not. In addition, due to the constant updates and development of enterprises and application environments, the original enterprise network must be re-deployed and network lines must be re-installed. Although the cables are not expensive, however, the cost of wiring is high for technicians, especially for old buildings. Therefore, setting up a wireless LAN becomes the best solution.
