#141214 - GPRS in general; embedded devices in particular Responding to: ???'s previous message |

As has already been mentioned, GPRS was originally intended to allow mobile devices access TO the Internet. I'm not sure that was the original intention. The GPRS technology itself can give you an IP connection just as if your device were directly connected to your office LAN - just rather slower! However, the GPRS services generally offered to the phone-buying public most certainly are intended to allow mobile devices access TO the Internet Trying to access mobile devices FROM the Internet goes totally against the grain. To be precise, trying to access (mobile) embedded devices FROM the Internet goes totally against the grain of the services generally offered to the phone-buying public. You will also most probably find that the network customer "helplines" are totally unable to even comprehend any device that is not a phone! :-( For these reasons, for any serious commercial project, you would be very well advised to seek out a service specifically designed for embedded devices - the buzzword to search for is "M2M" (as in "Machine-to-Machine"). |
