WISE is a portfolio of wireless Internet solutions designed to integrate GSM and Internet technologies. It consists of a range of products and services that support GSM operators in creating new data-related solutions. By introducing more datacom functionality in the network, the Internet is made available to GSM users and new application possibilities can be created for operators. When combined with compression and filtering products even faster downloading is achieved. It will accelerate web browsing and file transfer and also makes it easier to view pages with heavy graphic contents.
Users can also take advantage of higher speed to access in-house LANs and corporate intranets.
GPRS Phase 2 is not yet fully defined, but may allow Point to Multipoint transmission as opposed to the Point to Point only transmission of Phase 1. This technology will need to be incorporated at some point to enable the upgrade to third generation systems.
