Global System for Mobile Communication (Association)

Founded in 1987, the GSM Association has played a pivotal role in the development of the GSM platform and of the global wireless industry.

Since its introduction our members and staff have created the landscape of success for global mobile communications via GSM. Ours is a story of international cooperation and collaboration, between people, companies and governments to create the world's first global wireless network.

The GSM Association (GSMA) is a global trade association that represents the interests of more than 620 GSM mobile operators. The Association role is to promote, protect and enhance the interests of the global GSM mobile operator community – which currently provides GSM services to more than 1 Billion customers across more than 200 countries and regions around the world (73% of the world’s digital mobile market). In addition, some 130 key manufacturers and suppliers to the GSM industry are associate members of the GSM Association.

GSM is a living and evolving wireless communications standard that already offers an extensive and feature-rich 'family' of voice and data services. The GSM family consists of today's GSM, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) and third generation GSM services (3GSM) based on the latest WCDMA technology. Together these platforms create GSM - The Wireless Evolution.

Its promoter, the GSM Association, estimates that 82% of the global mobile market uses the standard . GSM is used by over 2 billion people across more than 212 countries and territories. Its ubiquity makes international roaming very common between mobile phone operators, enabling subscribers to use their phones in many parts of the world. GSM differs from its predecessors in that both signaling and speech channels are digital call quality, and so is considered a second generation (2G) mobile phone system. This has also meant that data communication were built into the system using the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
