GSM stands for "Global System for Mobile communications", which was a replacement for the former AMPS and TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) formats of analog cellular telephone transmissions.
GSM is currently used by over 3 billion people across more than 212 countries and territories, over 82% of the world's population.
GSM's advantage over its predecessor is that it is 100% digital, as opposed to TDMA, which was analog. While covering a shorter distance than the analog signal, a GSM signal can carry more voice and data communications than the analog band, and carry it at a faster rate, thus making GSM a "second-generation" (2G) cellular technology.
Most GSM networks operate in the 900 MHz or 1800 MHz bands. Some countries in the Americas (including Canada and the United States) use the 850 MHz and 1900 MHz bands because the 900 and 1800 MHz frequency bands were already allocated.
