9. EDGE
   Enhanced Data-rates for Global Evolution (formerly `GSM Evolution`). Use of new modulation schemes to increase data rates within the existing RF bandwidth for GSM. EDGE supports three bits per symbol. EDGE is also part of the evolution of US TDMA IS-136 standard networks towards UMTS and some US networks have already deployed it. As GPRS as regarded as `2.5 generation`, EDGE can be `2.75 generation`. EDGE supports both more and better quality voice and faster GPRS, EGPRS. The RAN (radio access network) for EDGE is standardised by the GERAN group of 3GPP.
