Cingular adds GPRS markets

ATLANTA—Cingular Wireless rolled out its Wireless Internet Express GPRS service in a number of markets in the Southeast and in Las Vegas, following the initial introduction in Seattle this summer.

Nortel Networks Corp. supplied the network for Cingular’s Southeast markets, including the Carolinas, eastern Tennessee and coastal Georgia, while Ericsson supplied the network for Las Vegas. Currently the only handset available to GPRS customers is the Motorola 7389I tri-band phone, which Cingular said allows roaming anywhere on GSM networks across the U.S. and Canada and with its GSM partners overseas.
