EDGE Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution

Overview:

EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) is part of the defined and standardized evolution of GSM/GPRS. Since the first commercial launch of EDGE in June 2003, more than 110 operators have adopted the EDGE standard. EDGE provides wireless operators with improvements in data throughput that averages more than three times that of GPRS, and with improvement in data capacity of up to 6 times.

GSM Transcoding Unit (TCU)

Overview:

The Nortel GSM Transceiver Coding Unit (TCU) encodes and decodes speech, as well as handling data rate adaptation. Because the air interface requires that all speech be digitized at certain rates, the transmission rate is 13 kbits/s. Since the accepted rate is usually 64 kbits/s within the network, the signal must be translated. This translation is performed by the TCU. Designed to satisfy the continuous increase in the number of GSM subscribers and in the MoU (minutes of usage) per subscriber, Nortel TCU (TCU 3000) is a very high and scalable capacity product ranging from 200 E to 1800 E in one transcoding node, or up to 3600 E with two transcoding nodes in one TCU 3000 cabinet.
