GSM : Global system for Mobile Communications

CDMA : Code Division Multiple Access
DOT (Department of Telecommunication) is the main body formulating laws and va
rious regulations
for the Indian telecom industry.
GSM is a second generation digital mobile cellular technology using a combinat
ion of frequency
division multiple access (FDMA) and time division multiple access (TDMA).
In the United States, GSM operates on frequencies in the range of 1.9 GHz and
850 MHz. The 850 MHz
range is also used in many other countries, such as Australia and some in Sout
h America. In Europe,
GSM operates in the ranges of 900 MHz and 1.8 GHZ. The ranges are not that imp
ortant to consumers,
who are generally more concerned about transmission speeds and reliability.
The GSM system is capable of data transmission speeds of up to 9.5 kilobits pe
r second. This used to
be a feature that other standards could not compete with. Since then, however,
other technologies such
as CDMA have improved, putting most cell phone standards on a similar playing
field. Therefore, those
who are comparing the different cell phone standards may not be as concerned a
bout data transfer speeds
as they once would have been.
One of the distinctive features of the GSM system is the use of SIM cards. Thi
s card will store all
personal data and contacts on it. Once a phone is traded for a new one, transf
erring the data and
activating the phone becomes simply a matter of changing the card. The contact
list, calendar, and
any other personal data will seamlessly transfer to the new phone. Accessing it
may be slightly different,
depending on the phone's software, but the information will be the same. Only G
SM offers this, though there
are plans to eventually offer a similar service for CDMA customers in the Unite
d States.

Services on the 3G-enabled USB data card are subject to 3G availability.
3G is the third generation of wireless technologies. It comes with enhancements
over previous wireless technologies,
like high-speed transmission, advanced multimedia access and global roaming. 3G
is mostly used with mobile phones and
handsets as a means to connect the phone to the Internet or other IP networks i
n order to make voice and video calls,
to download and upload data and to surf the net.
