GSM technology operates in various frequency bands, primarily 900/1800 MHz, and utilizes time division multiple access (TDMA) to divide each frequency channel into time slots.&#x20;

This allows multiple users to share the same bandwidth efficiently. GSM supports voice calls, SMS, and limited data services, forming the backbone of modern mobile communication systems.
