The
cellular PCS phone is
the leading type of phone
on the market today. Personal communications services (PCS) technology operates
at 1850 MHz verses the old analog that ran on only 800 MHZ. This increase in
power is used to support digital data and can serve a larger amount of consumers
with efficiency than the old analog services.
Most phones out on
the market today are mainly PCS
cellular phones that
try to stay connected to digital services but will connect to an analog server
if that is the only available signal to be found. With more and more customers
purchasing PCS cell
phones and plans, more towers supporting the 1850 MHz required are being put
up all over the world.
Your cellular PCS phone
uses digital technology to encode voice into bit streams. This provides faster
speed, better bandwidth or frequency power, and lesser chances of corrupted or
malfunctioning calls. The only thing you will want to check out when purchasing
your PCS cellular phone
is how many of the three digital wireless technologies your
phone is compatible
with. This can affect your coverage area greatly. There is
CDMA (code-division
multiple access), TDMA
(time-division multiple access), and
GSM (global system
for mobile
communication). PCS
cellular phones that work with one wireless technology may or may not work
with another with the others.
