THE GSM MODULE


(GLOBAL SYSTEM FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS)
What is a GSM?
A GSM is a digital mobile
network that is widely used by
mobile phone users of Russia
and other parts of the world.
Advantages of GSM
• Extensive Coverage
• The most obvious advantage of GSM is its widespread
use throughout the world. According to Gsmworld.com,
GSM has a harmonized spectrum, which means that even
though different countries may operate on different
frequency bands, users can transfer seamlessly between
networks and keep the same number. As a result, GSM
users essentially have coverage in over 218 countries.
Advantages of GSM
• Greater Phone Variety
• Another advantage of GSM is that because it is used throughout
the world, there is a greater variety of phones that operate on
GSM. Therefore, consumers have more flexibility in choosing a
handset that fits their specific desires, and they are not limited to
purchasing phones only made in their respective country.

• No Roaming Charges on International Calls


• Because GSM is the same network worldwide, users are not
charged a roaming fee for international calls. However, most
providers still charge a service fee on international calls
Disadvantages of GSM
• Bandwidth Lag
• Perhaps the greatest disadvantage of GSM is that multiple users share
the same bandwidth. With enough users, the transmission can
encounter interference. Therefore, faster technologies, such as 3G,
have been developed on different types of networks than GSM, such
as CDMA, in order to avoid such bandwidth limitations.
• Causes Electronic Interference
• Another disadvantage of GSM is that is can interfere with certain
electronics, such as pace makers and hearing aids, according to
Inc.Technology. com. Such interference is due to the fact that GSM uses a
pulse-transmission technology. As a result, many locations such as
hospitals and airplanes require cell phones to be turned off.
Modems, Modules, Mobiles
GSM MODEM – an external equipment which can be used
to make a computer or any other processor communicate
over a network.
 GSM MODULE – is a module that can be integrated within
an equipment.
GSM MOBILE - is a complete system in itself with
embedded processors that are dedicated to provide an
interface between the user and the mobile network.
Examples of GSM Module
 GSM SIM900 it works on frequencies 900/1800 MHz. Can search
–
these two bands
automatically. Can also be used for developing IOT
(Internet of Things) and
embedded applications.
Examples of GSM Module
GSM SIM800 – is a complete Quad-band GSM/GPRS solution in
a SMT(Surface Mount
Technology) type which can be embedded in the
customer applications. Sim800
support quad-band 850/900/1800/1900MHz, it
can transmit Voice, SMS and
data information with low power consumption.
SIM800 vs SIM900
SIM800 is the newly released released chip, which is an
alternative to SIM900 from SIMCOM.
SIM900 is under obsolescence.
SIM800 is having better signal reception capability.
SIM800 has more functionality like Bluetooth 3.0
Less costly than SIM900 chips
SIMCOM nolonger releases the firmware updates to SIM900
TX and RX
•RX and TX are abbreviations for Transmit
and Receive, respectively. They are used for
data transmission and to know how much
data is sent and received or downloaded
and uploaded.
