How Many Channels Are Present in GSM 900?

GSM 900 uses frequencies between 890-915 MHz for uplink and 935-960 MHz for downlink, providing 124 channels of 200 kHz bandwidth each. One channel is used as a guard channel, so there are effectively 124 channels. GSM 1800 uses 1710-1785 MHz for uplink and 1805-1880 MHz for downlink, providing 374 channels.

174
no ........
the uplink is 890-915 & down link is 935-960.....MHz
each channel having band width of 200KHz & using by 8 subsciber....
so 25MHz/200Khz ......=125...so there are 125 channels present in GSM900
but one channel is use as a guard
so only 124 channel present in GSM900

gsm 1800 channels


GSM-900 and GSM-1800 are used in most parts of the world: Europe, Middle East,
Africa, Australia and most of Asia. In South Americas it is in 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 890915 MHz to send information from the mobile station to the base
station (uplink) and 935960 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.

In some countries the GSM-900 band has been extended to cover a larger frequency
range. This 'extended GSM', E-GSM, uses 880915 MHz (uplink) and 925960 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 876915 MHz (uplink) and 921960 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 17101785 MHz to send information from the mobile station to the
base tranceiver station (uplink) and 18051880 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 (not to mix up with GSM-1900 which is commonly
called PCS in the rest of the world.)
