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
AMPS Advanced Mobile Phone System TACS Total Access Communication System NMT Nordic Mobile Telephone System
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
