    GSM is a global standard for 2G digital cellular networks developed by ETSI in 1991 that was first deployed in Finland. It has become the dominant global standard for mobile communications, operating in over 219 countries. Originally intended for digital voice calls, GSM expanded to include data communications through technologies like GPRS and EDGE. While 3G and 4G cellular standards were later developed by 3GPP, GSM remains the most widely used 2G standard globally.

    GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications, originally Groupe Spcial Mobile), is a

    standard developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to describe the
    protocols for second-generation (2G) digital cellular networks used bymobile phones, first deployed
    in Finland in July 1991.[2] As of 2014 it has become the default global standard for mobile
    communications - with over 90% market share, operating in over 219 countries and territories. [3]
    2G networks developed as a replacement for first generation (1G) analog cellular networks, and the
    GSM standard originally described a digital, circuit-switched network optimized for full
    duplex voice telephony. This expanded over time to include data communications, first by circuitswitched transport, then by packet data transport via GPRS (General Packet Radio Services)
    and EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution or EGPRS).
    Subsequently, the 3GPP developed third-generation (3G) UMTS standards followed by fourthgeneration (4G) LTE Advanced standards, which do not form part of the ETSI GSM standard.
    "GSM" is a trademark owned by the GSM Association. It may also refer to the (initially) most
    common voice codec used, Full Rate.
