     P-GSM, Standard or Primary GSM-900 Band
     E-GSM, Extended GSM-900 Band (includes Standard GSM-900 band)
     R-GSM, Railways GSM-900 Band (includes Standard and Extended GSM-900 band)

    GSM-900 and GSM-1800


    GSM-900 and GSM-1800 are used in most parts of the world: Europe, Middle East, Africa, Oceania
    and most of Asia. In South and Central America the following countries use the following:
     Costa Rica - GSM-1800
     Brazil - GSM-850, 900 and 1800
     Guatemala - GSM-850, GSM-900 and 1900
     El Salvador - GSM-850, GSM-900 and 1900

    GSM-900 uses 890–915 MHz to send information from the mobile station to the base station (uplink)
    and 935–960 MHz for the other direction (downlink), providing 124 RF channels (channel numbers 1
    to 124) spaced at 200 kHz. Duplex spacing of 45 MHz is used. Guard bands 100 kHz wide are placed
    at either end of the range of frequencies[1].
    In some countries the GSM-900 band has been extended to cover a larger frequency range.
    This 'extended GSM', E-GSM, uses 880–915 MHz (uplink) and 925–960 MHz (downlink),
    adding 50 channels (channel numbers 975 to 1023 and 0) to the original GSM-900 band. The
    GSM specifications also describe 'railways GSM', GSM-R, which uses 876–915 MHz
    (uplink) and 921–960 MHz (downlink). Channel numbers 955 to 1023. GSM-R provides
    additional channels and specialized services for use by railway personnel.
    All these variants are included in the GSM-900 specification.

    GSM-1800 uses 1710–1785 MHz to send information from the mobile station to the base tranceiver
    station (uplink) and 1805–1880 MHz for the other direction (downlink), providing 374 channels
    (channel numbers 512 to 885). Duplex spacing is 95 MHz.
    GSM-1800 is also called DCS (Digital Cellular Service) in the United Kingdom, while being
    called PCS in Hong Kong[2] (not to mix up with GSM-1900 which is commonly called PCS in
    the rest of the world.)

    GSM-850 and GSM-1900


    GSM-850 and GSM-1900 are used in the United States, Canada, and many other countries in the
    Americas.
     GSM-850 uses 824–849 MHz to send information from the mobile station to the base station
    (uplink) and 869–894 MHz for the other direction (downlink). Channel numbers are 128 to
    251.
    GSM-850 is also sometimes called GSM-800 because this frequency range was known as the
    "800 MHz band" (for simplification) when it was first allocated for AMPS in the United
    States in 1983.
    Term Cellular is sometimes used to describe the 850 MHz band, because the original analog
    cellular mobile communication system was allocated in this spectrum.
     GSM-1900 uses 1850–1910 MHz to send information from the mobile station to the base
    station (uplink) and 1930–1990 MHz for the other direction (downlink). Channel numbers are
    512 to 810.
    PCS is the original name in North America for the 1900 MHz band. It is an initialism for
    Personal Communications Service.
