GSM History
In 1876 telephone was introduced to the public in Philadelphia USA, ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL was able to transmit speech electrically in one direction only on COPPER WIRE. This was later perfected for two way communication.

In the end of 19th CENTURY a German Scientist named HEINRICH RUDOLPH HERTZ discovered that from an
electric spark there seemed to emanate invisible waves of force which could be captured at a distant location by a suitably constructed receiving device. In 1897 GUGLIELMO MARCONI made first wireless transmission over 15KM in Bristol and in 1901 he transmitted these waves overseas and began to call it RADIO.

GSM History
CEPT decided to establish a Groupe Special Mobile the initial origin of term GSM in order to develop a set of common standards for European Cellular Mobile Network, which include:
The Radio Interface Transmission and Signaling Protocols Interfaces and Network Architecture

With the establishment of European Telecommunication

Standards Institute [ETSI] Groupe Special Mobile

becomes a committee:
GSM is embodied into European Telecommunication Standards GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communication

In 1992 Official Commercial launch of GSM service in Europe.
