Austrian GPRS trials completed

VIENNA, Austria-The first mobile data transfer trials over General Packet Radio Service in Austria have been completed by Motorola Inc.’s Network Solutions Sector and Mobilkom, Austria’s largest mobile communications network operator, Motorola said.

“The introduction of GPRS will allow mobile phone users to access a new range of services without the use of a fixed terminal,” said Ernst Tallowitz, director of the board of Mobilkom Austria.

Mobilkom said it now will integrate GPRS into the existing Global System for Mobile communications network, with commercial operation expected by next summer.
