4. EDGE uses the same Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) frame structure, logic channel, and 200 kHz carrier bandwidth as today's GSM networks, which allows existing cell plans to remain.

5. EDGE is a standardized upgrade for GSM, which is used in more than 680 networks in more than 210 countries and territories. EDGE is a standardized upgrade for GSM, which is used in more than 680 networks in more than 210 countries and territories. DiGi has reasonable EDGE coverage in Malaysia, particularly in West Malaysia. Coverage in East Malaysia is currently limited to Kuching, Kota Kinabalu and several main town centres.

7. Advantages of EDGE Speed: EDGE supports average rates of 110-130 kbps that fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including streaming audio and video, fast Internet access and large file downloads. For example, a 100 kb Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) video clip takes 26.7 seconds to download on GPRS but only 10 seconds on EDGE Speed: EDGE supports average rates of 110-130 kbps that fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including streaming audio and video, fast Internet access and large file downloads. For example, a 100 kb Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) video clip takes 26.7 seconds to download on GPRS but only 10 seconds on EDGE An "always-on" connection: Like cable broadband and DSL, EDGE provides a constant Internet connection, eliminating the need to log on each time to access the Internet, and customers can receive "pushed" services, such as stock alerts. EDGE also lets customers maintain a data session while answering a phone call.

8. Value: EDGE is packet-based, which is a more efficient way for operators to provide services. That savings can be passed on to customers in the form of lower rates. Packet also means that customers pay only for the data that they send and receive instead of also paying for the airtime to set up a connection and waiting for a server to respond.

Packet also means that customers pay only for the data that they send and receive instead of also paying for the airtime to set up a connection and waiting for a server to respond. Coverage: EDGE is a relatively inexpensive, simple upgrade for operators, so EDGE coverage should quickly expand beyond cities to suburbs and other areas. EDGE also is compatible with GPRS, so when customers move out of an area with EDGE coverage, they'll be automatically switched to a GPRS network. As a result, EDGE customers are always assured of having some level of packet-data service at home and when traveling.

9. How to use EDGE We must use a device that is a EDGE technology compatible. We must use a device that is a EDGE technology compatible. We will also make sure out network provider support this EDGE technology. We will also make sure out network provider support this EDGE technology. Edge is being bill according to the amount of data we download and not the amount of time as we will be always being connected to EDGE.

All data are sent in pulses no matter it is in GPRS or EDGE. But when use EDGE data sent are 3 times more than GPRS. So data will be transfer smoother.
