The Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) is a not-for-profit industry organisation representing companies in the mobile communication industry. GSA actively promotes 3GPP technology such as 3G; 4G; 5G. GSA is a market representation partner in 3GPP and co-operates with organisations including COAI, ETSI, GSMA, ICU, ITU, European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT-ECC), and other regional regulatory bodies.
It is not to be confused with the GSM Association (GSMA), another organization with similar stated goals representing the mobile network operator community.
GAMBoD[]
The GSA analyser for mobile broadband devices (GAMBoD) is a search and analysis tool developed by GSA to enable searches of mobile broadband devices and new global data on mobile broadband networks, technologies and spectrum (NTS). The LTE Devices database can be searched by supplier, form factor, features, peak downlink and uplink speeds, and operating frequency. The NTS database can be searched by mobile broadband (MBB) technology, feature, UE category, downlink speed, spectrum bands used and can be segmented by region. In March 2019, the GSA launched the database of 5G devices, searchable by device form factor, features, and support for spectrum bands.[1] Actual mobile network performance (downlink and uplink speed and latency) is displayed by operator (coming Q4 2019) based on a partnership with OpenSignal.
