GSMRn

GSMRn refers to the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network in Rwanda. It is a mobile telephony standard that was widely adopted in the country. GSM networks utilize a circuit-switched architecture for voice calls and a packet-switched architecture for data services. This technology facilitated the expansion of mobile communication and internet access for a significant portion of the Rwandan population. While newer technologies like 4G LTE and 5G are being rolled out, GSM networks, including GSMRn, have played a crucial role in the country's telecommunications development. The infrastructure associated with GSMRn involves base transceiver stations (BTS) and mobile switching centers (MSC) to manage calls and data traffic. The evolution of mobile technology in Rwanda has seen a gradual transition from GSM to more advanced standards, driven by increasing demand for higher data speeds and capacity. Operators in Rwanda have invested in upgrading their networks to accommodate these technological advancements while often maintaining backward compatibility with older GSM devices.
