The GPRS service enables data transfer from remote locations to a control centre, effectively allowing the remote location to become an arm of the central base. Mohammed Al Fahim, Etisalat's Executive Vice President of Marketing, said: "Wireless data transfer has been in use for some time now, but the security and the bandwidth options presented by GPRS are unmatched.
"The security is so high and assured that even banks are working towards connecting to their ATMs through this service. This speaks volumes for the security of the transactions over GPRS.
"Any remote user or system that needs access to a central database or control centre would be able to access the base with ease. Handheld units used by a policeman, for instance, could access the central traffic and vehicle database to query the history of a car's licence plate."
At GITEX, Emirates Bank will demonstrate the use of one of its ATM connected through GPRS. The ease and speed of a wireless transaction will be on display for all to see at the Etisalat stand at Hall 7 of the Dubai World Trade Centre.
