(Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution - or GSM Evolution) A 2.5G high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers worldwide that use the GSM technology, including AT&T (formerly Cingular) and T-Mobile in the U.S. Also called Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), EDGE works on EDGE cellphones as well as laptops and portable devices that have EDGE modems. Superseding the GPRS data service, EDGE users have typically experienced downstream data rates up to 200 Kbps. See cellular generations, cellular vs. Wi-Fi, GSM, GPRS, TDMA and UWC-136.
