PSTN (Fix) vs GSM (Mobile) communications

It was that Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is the only one option for people to make communication with someone else. Few years later, technology was changing and people prefer to use mobile communication (GSM) rather then PSTN. The main reason is mobile communication is giving more flexibility rather than fix communication (PSTN). Mobile communication (GSM) support their activities much better rather fix communication (PSTN). As the result, now days we can see mobile communication (GSM) is growing faster rather than fix communication (PSTN)

From the technology perspective, growth of mobile communication (GSM) infrastructures is giving more benefit since they have flexibility and more simple during deployment rather than fix communication (PSTN) infrastructures. Telecommunication company which plan to deploy telecommunication network with mobile platform such as GSM, CDMA and 3G will invest many kind of telecommunication infrastructures which upgradeable, high compatibility with others vendor and high availability of resource to support many service such as mobile internet service. We can not find the same things right now if we will deploy the same telecommunication network with fix platform such as Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)

Evolution of telecommunication technology reduce inefficiency equipment while deployment which used to happen on fix communication platform (PSTN) such as cabling on each termination point. As we know that Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is having a lot of cabling connection from one point to another one. On the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) service, if Telecommunication Company has 1000 subscribers on particular area means that they should run 1000 peer cables from terminal cable point to each of subscriber home

We will not find the same thing on the mobile communication (GSM, CDMA or 3G). Telecommunication Company with mobile platform will deploy Base Transceiver Station (BTS) on particular area to cover people who want to make a mobile communication at that area. They will upgrade the capacity while they face lack of resource at that area with simple way and faster. The same thing will happen to all services including mobile internet service. Meanwhile on the fix communication service such as Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Telecommunication Company will face big issue once they want to upgrade the capacity at the same area.

Beside, people begin to leave Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) service for personal purpose, the new technology is created to replace the old one which mean that old technology should be replaced. In the next few years, we will find Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) service no more
