AI overview

I cannot write an accurate 2-sentence overview based solely on this context, as it only describes the GSM logo and its symbolism, not what GSM actually is or why it matters. To provide accurate information, I would need context that explains GSM's definition, function, and significance.

The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is a family of standards to describe the protocols for second-generation (2G) digital cellular networks, as used by mobile devices such as mobile phones and mobile broadband modems. GSM is also a trademark owned by the GSM Association. "GSM" may also refer to the voice codec initially used in GSM.
