GSM

For efficient working of various modern systems remote data transmission is often required, which provides both information on objects and the option of remote configuration or change of these objects. GSM or Global Systems for Mobile Communications is a solution developed by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) and is the most popular and widespread standard for mobile communications in the modern world.

GSM is based on a digital cellular network formed by a series of cellular broadcasting towers where the maximum distance between two towers is 35 kilometres. This is a dense coverage which ensures a high data transmission quality and, along with the development of data broadcasting technology, constantly increasing data transmission rates.

Today the GSM networks operate on four frequency bands (Europe and most of the world: 900/1800 MHz, some countries, e.g., Canada and USA: 850/1900 MHz).

To put it simple, a GSM network consists of an exchange which is connected with the base stations via fixed connections and of SIM cards which connect to the base stations.

Skybrake uses the GSM solution in its products to make the systems more efficient, faster, more functional and more user friendly.

Skybrake also works with GPRS, USSD and other GSM-friendly technologies.
