What is the operating frequency of cellular communication?

There are two main types of Cellular phone com usage, that being CMDA and GSM. GSM operates, typically in a range of 850mhz, 900mhz, 1800 and 1900mhz. In parts of Europe it also uses 2100mhz. Older GMS specs can go as low as 380mhz for uplink and downlink and the channel will vary. CDMA operates at usually at 800mhz or 1900mhz. Some of the 4g WiMax signals can run as high as 2.7ghz. That however is used for data, not for voice mode. Again, different variations of this will run at other speeds but those are the most common ones.


What is GSM communications?

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.


What is frequency hopping in gsm?

Multi wave propagation varies the signal strength which causes fading dips. This is known as Rayleigh fading which is frequency dependent. Frequency Hopping changes the frequency with time to eliminate frequency dependent Rayleigh fading. Frequency Hopping reduces the effects of interferences and gives a great support to cater the capacity upgrading as well.


Can I put a sim card from one carrier into an unlocked phone from a different carrier?

Theoretically yes but you should make sure the unlocked phone you are transferring your SIM card into also supports the same cellular providers operating frequency. Its like this, every GSM cellular service provider operates in one or two of these possible frequencies 850/900/1800/1900 MHz. This will depends on the carrier and the country in which service provider operates, its usually 850/1900 in North America and 900/1800 in Europe and Asia. Most of the phones sold in the USA/Canada work in the North American frequency and not in other, so make sure your new unlocked phone works in the particular frequency for your provider.

What is uplink frequency in gsm?

GSM 900: Uplink frequency: 890 - 915 MHz GSM 1800 : Uplink frequency: 1710 - 1785 MHz GSM 1900: Uplink frequency: 1850 - 1910 MHz


Is us cellular cdsm or gsm?

US Cellular is a CDMA network meaning that it uses Code Division Multiple Access as its primary technology. This type of network is different from other networks in its use of a code to differentiate between different conversations instead of using a different frequency for each conversation. US Cellular is not a GSM network which stands for Global System for Mobiles and instead uses CDMA technology. CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access): US Cellular uses this technology as its primary technology. It uses a code to differentiate between different conversations instead of a different frequency for each conversation. GSM (Global System for Mobiles): US Cellular is not a GSM network and instead uses CDMA technology.


What is mean by GSM in network side?

Short for Global System for Mobile Communications, one of the leading digital cellular systems. GSM uses narrowband TDMA, which allows eight simultaneous calls on the same radio frequency.
