HISTORY
Early 80s Europe was experiencing rapid growth in the analog cellular telephone systems 1982 Conference of European Posts and Telegraphs (CEPT) GSM (Groupe Special Mobile) group was formed to study and develop a pan-European public land mobile system GSM mandate was to develop a standard to be common for the countries that created it provide service to the entire European continent Commercial service started in mid-1991 1992 first paying customers were signed up for service By 1993 there were 36 GSM networks in 22 countries

Development of the GSM Standard Mobile (GSM) 1992: Official commercial launch of 1982: Groupe Spcial
created 1984: 1985: 1987: Description of GSM features List of recommendations settled Initial MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) aside the drafting of technical specifications was signed by network operators of 13 countries: Validation and trials, of the radio interface. First system trials are demonstrated at the Telecom 91 exhibition. 1993: The GSM-MoU has 62 signatories in 39 countries worldwide. GSM service in Europe. First Launch in Finland

1995:

Specifications of GSM phase 2 are frozen. GSM MoU joins 3GPP (UMTS) GPRS Trials begins 480M GSM subscribers Worldwide First GPRS Networks roll out

1999:

1988:

2000:

1991:

End 2002: 792M GSM subscribers Worldwide

Building Blocks (contd) .

AMPS Advanced Mobile Phone System analog technology used in North and South America and approximately 35 other countries operates in the 800 MHz band using FDMA technology

TACS Total Access Communication System variant of AMPS deployed in a number of countries primarily in the UK

NMT Nordic Mobile Telephone System analog technology deployed in the Benelux countries and Russia operates in the 450 and 900 MHz band first technology to offer international roaming only within the Nordic countries

Basic Features Provided by GSM

Call Waiting
- Notification of an incoming call while on the handset

Call Hold
- Put a caller on hold to take another call

Call Barring
- All calls, outgoing calls, or incoming calls

Call Forwarding
- Calls can be sent to various numbers defined by the user

Multi Party Call Conferencing

- Link multiple calls together

Advanced Features Provided by GSM

Calling Line ID - incoming telephone number displayed Alternate Line Service - one for personal calls - one for business calls Closed User Group - call by dialing last for numbers Advice of Charge - tally of actual costs of phone calls Fax & Data - Virtual Office / Professional Office Roaming - services and features can follow customer from market to market

Future -whats next

3G which is WCDMA technology 4G which is LTE technology Reasons for innovations
- new service requirements - availability of new radio bands

User demands
seamless Internet-Intranet access wide range of available services compact, lightweight and affordable terminals simple terminal operation open, understandable pricing structures for the whole spectrum of available services

Advantages of GSM
Crisper, cleaner quieter calls Security against fraud and eavesdropping International roaming capability in over 100 countries Improved battery life Efficient network design for less expensive system expansion Efficient use of spectrum Advanced features such as short messaging and caller ID A wide variety of handsets and accessories High stability mobile fax and data at up to 9600 baud Ease of use with over the air activation, and all account information is held in a smart card which can be moved from handset to handset
