GSM Frequency Bands and Operators

GSM-900 and GSM-1800 are mobile communication standards that operate at different frequency bands. GSM-900 uses frequencies from 890-915 MHz for uplink and 935-960 MHz for downlink, providing 124 channels. GSM-1800 uses 1710-1785 MHz for uplink and 1805-1880 MHz for downlink, providing 374 channels. The document also provides information on the specific frequency ranges used by different mobile operators in Pakistan for both GSM-900 and GSM-1800 bands.

GSM-900:

GSM-900 uses 890915 MHz to send information from the mobile station to the base station
(uplink) and 935960 MHz for the other direction (downlink), providing 124 RF channels (channel
numbers 1 to 124) spaced at 200 kHz. Duplex spacing of 45 MHz is used. Guard bands 100 kHz wide are
placed at either end of the range of frequencies

GSM-1800:
GSM-1800 uses 17101785 MHz to send information from the mobile station to the base
transceiver station (uplink) and 18051880 MHz for the other direction (downlink), providing 374
channels (channel numbers 512 to 885). Duplex spacing is 95 MHz

What are uplink and downlink?


The communication going from a satellite to ground is called downlink, and when it is going
from ground to a satellite it is called uplink.
