IV. CONCLUSIONS
This paper is mainly show the character of GSM (Global
System for Mobile communications) network. GSM system
is today a worldwide standard for second generation mobile
telephony. GSM system is very popular and important in
whole world. It is have a lot of advantage and conveniences.
As a result, third generation of GSM and other cellular
systems are targeting provide high quality data services with
a higher bit rate for the maximum number of users at low
cost. Mobile telephony in general and in Europe in particular
is on the move from 2G to 3G, i.e., GSM to UMTS networks.
As long as UMTS is not in operation on a large scale, both
GSM and UMTS technologies will coexist and have to
interoperate.
