ATLANTA—Cingular Wireless rolled out its Wireless Internet Express General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) service in a number of markets in the Southeast and in Las Vegas, following the initial introduction in Seattle earlier this year.
Nortel Networks 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 United States and Canada and with its GSM partners overseas.
