New packet overlay including routers and gateways.<\/p>\n<p>GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is a packet-switched mobile data service that enables users to send and receive data over a cellular network. It is an upgrade to GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), the most widely used cellular network technology in the world.<\/p>\n<p>GPRS works by dividing the radio time into small time slots, which are then used to carry data packets. This is in contrast to GSM, which uses circuit-switched connections for voice calls. Circuit-switched connections are dedicated to a single user for the duration of the call, while packet-switched connections are shared by multiple users. This makes GPRS more efficient than GSM for data transmission.<\/p>\n<p>To upgrade from GSM to GPRS, a cellular network operator needs to install new packet-switched infrastructure, including routers and gateways. These devices are responsible for routing data packets between the cellular network and the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the necessary changes to upgrade from GSM to GPRS.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A is incorrect because a whole new base station is not required. The existing base stations can be used with GPRS.<\/li>\n<li>Option B is incorrect because a new transceiver at the base station is not required. The existing transceivers can be used with GPRS.<\/li>\n<li>Option C is incorrect because new channel cards are not required. The existing channel cards can be used with GPRS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;A whole new base station&#8221; option2=&#8221;New transceiver at base station&#8221;
