John, << What GSM uses in Europe, I am not sure >> GSM in Europe operates in 890-915MHz & 930-960MHz. The ITU allocated the bands 890-915 MHz for the uplink (mobile station to base station) and 935-960 MHz for the downlink (base station to mobile station) for mobile networks in Europe. Since this range was already being used in the early 1980s by the analog systems of the day, CEPT reserved the top 10 MHz of each band for the GSM network that was still being developed. Eventually (perhaps now), GSM is or will be allocated the entire 2x25 MHz bandwidth. Good discussion of frequencies here: privateline.com The higher frequencies including GSM-1800 (DCS-1800) & PCS 1900 shown here: itu.int Although somewhat dated, not complete, (and slow), this link, is kind of handy for determining who is using what frequency, with what technology, around the world: teletechnics.com If anyone has a link to a better site similar to above (I thought I once saw one that was very comprehensive and up to date) I would appreciate it. - Eric -
