digital cellular communication system used in many countries (based on a variation of TDMA technology)
GSM is a digital mobile telephone system, used across Europe and in other parts of the world. GSM is an abbreviation for `global system for mobile communication'. There has been consistent growth in GSM mobile subscribers
Global System for Mobile communications: A digital cellular or PCS network used throughout the world Recently adopted as AT&T's primary standard (Back to top )
Short for Global system for Mobile Communications, it is the mobile phone platform used in Europe and much of the rest of the world- though it is not mainstream in the USA Dual band phones are capable of operating on other bandwidths aboard
GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) is a digital mobile telephone system that uses a variation of time division multiple access It is the most widely used of the three digital wireless telephone technologies (TDMA, GSM, and CDMA)
Global System for Mobile Communications The more important of the two main standards for digital mobile phones Digital mobiles are needed for reliable, if still rather slow, electronic communication via the cellular phone networks
(Global System for Mobile Communications): Originally developed as a pan-European standard for digital mobile telephony, GSM has become the world's most widely used mobile system
GSM is the pan-European standard for digital cellular telephone service GSM networks will be built as an alternative to current AMPS systems and in the future and will support enhanced data applications GSM was designed for European markets to provide the advantage of automatic, international roaming in multiple countries The SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) card is a vital component in GSM operation The user can store all relevant data for the phone on a removable plastic card The card can be plugged into any GSM compatible phone and the phone is instantly personalized to the user Back to the top
Global System for Mobile Communications GSM is the name of a land mobile pan-European digital cellular radiocommunications system
GSM originally stood for Groupe Speciale Mobile but has been anglicised to Global System for Mobile Communications, an international digital cellular standard South Africa was one of the first to implement Phase 2 of GSM
Global System for Mobile communications Used by second generation mobile phones to connect to the mobile networks
Mobile telecoms The Global System for Mobile communications: the technology standard currently used by second generation (2G) mobile phones (including WAP phones), and that provides digital voice and a low-speed (c 9 6Kbs) data services
Global System for Mobile Communications A standard for digital cellular communications (in the process of being) adopted by over 60 countries The GSM standard is currently used in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands (GSM, originally"Groupe de travail Spéciale pour les services Mobiles" )
Global System for Mobile communications The most common digital cellular system in the world GSM is used all over Europe, plus many countries in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, and North America GSM's air interface is based on narrowband TDMA technology, where available frequency bands are divided into time slots, with each user having access to one time slot at regular intervals Narrow band TDMA allows eight simultaneous communications on a single radio multiplexor and is designed to support 16 half-rate channels GSM also is the only technology that provides incoming and outgoing data services, such as email, fax, and internet surfing GSM makes use of a SIM card that allows memory portability between dumb GSM phones
(Global System for Mobile Communications) Originally developed as a pan-European standard for digital mobile telephony, GSM has become the worlds most widely used mobile system It is used on the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequencies in Europe, Asia and Australia, and the MHz 1900 frequency in North America and Latin America
[telecommunications] Global System for Mobile Communications A digital cellular standard that uses time-division (TDMA) to carry eight simultaneous calls on the same frequency This open standard is the primary wireless communication method in Europe and Asia, but is encountering growing competition in North America from the code-division method (CDMA)
Global System for Mobile Communications A digital cellular phone technology based on TDMA that is the predominant system in Europe, but is also used around the world Developed in the 1980s, GSM was first deployed in seven European countries in 1992 Operating in the 900MHz and 1 8GHz bands in Europe and the 1 9GHz PCS band in the U S , GSM defines the entire cellular system, not just the air interface (TDMA, CDMA, etc ) As of 2000, there were more than 250 million GSM users, which is more than half of the world's mobile phone population GSM phones use a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) smart card that contains user account information Any GSM phone becomes immediately programmed after plugging in the SIM card, thus allowing GSM phones to be easily rented or borrowed SIM cards can be programmed to display custom menus for personalized services
Global System for Mobile communications - A digital cellular or PCS wireless protocol network used throughout the world
Groupe Speciale Mobile, or Global System for Mobile Communications A standard for digital cellular phone service in over 85 countries
Global System for Mobile Communication Originally developed as a pan-European standard for digital mobile telephony, GSM has become the world's most widely used mobile system It is used on the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequencies in Europe, Asia and Australia, and the MHz 1800 frequency in North America and Latin America
Global Systems for Mobile (communications): one of the leading digital cellular systems GSM uses narrowband TDMA, which allows eight simultaneous calls on the same radio frequency
