Mijn moeder nam op’, vertelt hij. ‘Boudewijn was toen al overleden maar Fabiola had mijn moeder expliciet gevraagd om hierover niets te vertellen.'

What is GSM?
The Global System for Mobile communications is a digital cellular communications system. It was developed in order to create a common European mobile telephone standard but it has been rapidly accepted worldwide.
Formerly it was “Groupe Spéciale Mobile” (founded in 1982)
now: Global System for Mobile Communication.
Services:
Tele-services
Bearer or Data Services
Supplementary services
Applications:
Mobile telephony
GSM-R
Telemetry System
- Fleet management
- Automatic meter reading
- Toll Collection
- Remote control and fault reporting of DG sets
Value Added Services
Advantages:
Better Quality of speech
Data transmission is supported
New services offered due to ISDN compatibility
International Roaming possible
Large market
Crisper, cleaner quieter calls
disadvantages:
Dropped and missed calls
Less Efficiency
Security Issues
conclusion
The mobile telephony industry rapidly growing and that has become backbone for business success and efficiency and a part of modern lifestyles all over the world.
In this session I have tried to give and over view of the GSM system. I hope that I gave the general flavor of GSM and the philosophy behind its design.
The GSM is standard that insures interoperability without stifling competition and innovation among the suppliers to the benefit of the public both in terms of cost and service quality.
As one of the most prevalent frauds, calls via the internet are sent to simboxes (machines that house 8 to 32 SIM cards) which redirect this illegal VoIP traffic onto mobile networks. Due to the difference between interconnect rates and the retail price for on-network calls; fraudsters deploy simboxes to avoid paying the official call termination free of an Operator or MVNO.
Simbox fraud is among the top 5 emerging threats to Operators and MVNOs worldwide and cost the industry over USD 3 billion per year, according to the Communications Fraud Control Association (CFCA report 2011).
XINTEC’s solution for detecting simboxes protects Operators and MVNOs against interconnect bypass fraud with a ready-made software solution that analyses event detail records (xDRs) in near-real time.
MobiWeb - SMS for Courier & Postal ServicesMobiWeb
Today’s life is mobile. Literally, people spend a considerable amount of their daytime on the way and use their mobile phones more than ever.
In 2014 there were more than 6 billion subscriptions. By early 2015, there will be more mobile phone subscribers than the world's population. With increasing penetration of mobile phones to the most rural areas, mobile networks cover more than 90% of the world’s population. Consumers are always on the move and expect to use services and products on the go. This combined with the fact that mobile phone is the most personal digital device there is, make mobile a great B2C communication channel.
With the internet and mobile revolution, expectations are shifting towards the mobile phone. Many globally established businesses now choose SMS as an important channel when planning their mobile strategy. The mobile phone has become the new “must have” for any serious “innovative” service.
Some of the key business performance factors for the Courier & Postal Services industry is customer service and customer experience. Over the years technological innovations have helped Courier & Postal Services to reduce costs, deliver new services and enhance customer experiences.
As the mobile revolution continues to evolve, mobile technologies are available for the Courier & Postal Services to adopt and deploy. The Short Message Service (SMS) is a well-established, mature technology that Courier & Postal industry can benefit greatly from. SMS can be deployed in a huge variety of tailored use cases. It is available on all mobile phones across all technologies, including GSM, CDMA and 3G.
This guide describes SMS services and the mobile channel for Couriers and Postal Services.
Since its establishment in 1999, MobiWeb is providing global SMS Messaging for B2B, B2C and C2C mobile interaction.
