Demand for low-, medium- and high-speed wireless communications has led manufacturers and operators to develop and deploy new technologies. These include GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems) and WIMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwaves Access).
After RADIOCOM 2000, GSM is the 2nd-generation standard for mobile networks. It allows maximum data rates of 9.6 kbps. It operates at 900 and 1800 MHz.
