Gsm (global System For Mobile Communication)

[Allen69 0]

GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) is a digital mobile telephone system that is widely used in Europe and other parts of the world. GSM uses a variation of time division multiple access (TDMA) and is the most widely used of the three digital wireless telephone technologies (TDMA, GSM, and CDMA). GSM digitizes and compresses data, then sends it down a channel with two other streams of user data, each in its own time slot. It operates at either the 900 MHz or 1800 MHz frequency band.

 

GSM together with other technologies is part of an evolution of wireless mobile telemmunication that includes High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data (HCSD), General Packet Radio System (GPRS), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), and Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS).

 

GSM is the de facto wireless telephone standard in Europe. GSM has over 120 million Professional Web Design users worldwide and is available in 120 countries, according to the GSM MoU Association. Since many GSM network operators have roaming agreements with foreign operators, users can often continue to use their mobile phones when they travel to other countries.

 

American Personal Communications (APC), a subsidiary of Sprint, is using GSM as the technology for a broadband personal communications service (PCS). The service will ultimately have more than 400 base stations for the palm-sized handsets that are being made by Ericsson, Motorola, and Nokia. The handsets include a phone, a text pager, and an answering machine.

what the ????I suggest you read the rules first. If you copy-paste anything from another website you must place it between quotes and refer to the source. I also don't know where you got this, but GSM has absolutely nothing to do with webdesign, even tough it's mentioned in the text, there still is no link between GSM and webdesign (except if it's webdesign for WAP or Mobile browsers)

He probably got it from searchmobilecomputing.techtarget.com

 

i919011 @Allen69 : Please remember that, if you absolutely need to post a text copied from somewhere else, honesty asks that you put the text between quote tags, and politeness asks that you mention where the text was copied from. I did the quoting job for you today. Next time I expect you do do the quoting job by yourself. Else we could think that you are trying to to cheat with the hosting system, which makes some mods around here rather angry.

but GSM has absolutely nothing to do with webdesign

I agree with that, that's why I moved this post here, where more probably it's place is.

This topic is quite pointless since GSM is a 2G cellphone technology (the counterpart is CDMA).What is supposed to be discussed here?xboxrulz
