Q12. What advantages does GSM provide to PCS operators ?

A12. For many operators, “time to market” is a critical issue. GSM is a proven, established technology with a track record of success in enabling operators to launch their service first in a market. Manufacturing efficiencies and economies of scale also make this technology a robust, cost effective investment for PCS operators that . One North American GSM operator estimates a 30 percent savings of more than $200 million in building out its PCS network.

Q13. How does GSM’s total system specification benefit operators and consumers ?

A13. Every aspect of the technology has been defined in the standard. As a result, GSM service providers are the only PCS licensees which have the ability to interchange mobile infrastructure equipment from a variety of manufacturers. Because it’s a proven network technology with multiple suppliers, GSM generates economies of scale and development momentum. This translates into speed to market — in a cost effective manner. The GSM family of standards is supported by regional and international service providers and manufacturers which work diligently to ensure the evolution of the technology.

Q14. What about roaming capabilities ?

A14. GSM architecture supports full-featured, seamless roaming between GSM systems in North America. This inherent roaming capability allows operators to easily exchange common services, billing records and location information. Today, there are 62 international roaming agreements signed with other GSM operators around the world.

Q15. How does GSM provide more advanced services and functionality than other digital technologies ?

A15. One of the objectives for the GSM-based platform was to offer advanced services and functionality from a single network. To meet this goal, the designers made it part of the standard and based the architecture on the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) call model. GSM operators have the flexibility of offering integrated voice, high speed data, fax and short message services capabilities from one network. GSM also has the Intelligent Network (IN) functionality required to offer advanced subscriber features needed for private virtual networks such as call forwarding, abbreviated dialing, restriction on incoming or outgoing calls and call handling procedures based on location or time of day. The versatility and advanced feature functionality of GSM allows operators to be extremely creative and diverse with their marketing strategies and service offerings. As a result, GSM customers have more minutes of use than do the traditional cellular phone user.

Q16. What about voice quality of GSM ?

A16. Excellent voice quality is one of the primary requirements for PCS subscribers. That is why the GSM community worked to develop the 13 kbps Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) vocoder which provides voice quality that is competitive with wireline service. The selection of the vocoder was a cooperative effort between GSM service providers and equipment manufacturers. The goal was to select one vocoder and to establish an open standard so that any manufacturer could produce the handsets. This teamwork approach demonstrates the common commitment that the entire GSM community has to the standardization and continuing evolution of this technology.

Q17. What is the GSM MoU Association ?

A17. GSM operators are also part of a bigger wireless network family of worldwide companies. On an international level, the GSM MoU Association, is composed of the world¹s GSM network operators, regulators and administrators. The GSM MoU Association exists to drive the promotion, development and deployment of the GSM standard as the world¹s leading digital platform for global mobile communications. As such, it addresses issues which collectively face members around the globe.
