 What is
GSM ?
• Global System for Mobile (GSM) is
a second generation cellular
standard developed to cater voice
services and data delivery using
digital modulation
GSM operating range
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 South
America.

In Europe, GSM operates in the ranges of 900

MHz and 1.8 GHZ.

The ranges are not that important to consumers,

who are generally more concerned about
transmission speeds and reliability.
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)
One of the key features of GSM is the
Subscriber Identity Module, commonly known as a
SIM card.

It contains the user's subscription information and

phone book.

This allows the user to retain his or her

information after switching handsets.

Alternatively, the user can also change operators

while retaining the handset simply by changing the
SIM.

 AT COMMAND SET

• AT INITIATE THE GSM MODEM

• ATD98XXXXXXX; THIS WILL ESTABLISH

THE CALL TO SPECIFIC USER

• ATATO ANSWER THE CALL

• ATHTO DISCINNECT THE CALL

 AT COMMAND SET

• AT+CMGF=1INITITATE THE GSM MODEM

IN TEXT MODE

• AT+CMGS=98XXXXXX;
>TYPE YOUR MESSAGE HERE
CRTL+ZTO SEND MESSAGE

• AT+CMGR=MESSAGE NO. IN YOUR INBOX

MESSAGE WILL BE DISPLAYED
