PCS
Personal communication service (PCS) is a second-generation mobile communications technology also referred to as digital cellular. The digital service, which works over CDMA and TDMA interfaces, operates at the 1900 MHz frequency range.
Many of you have heard people in the wireless and telecommunications industry refer to the FCC. The FCC stands for the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC is a US government entity responsible for regulating communications industries.
The next generation of wireless communications beyond today’s digital 
Bandwidth has several related meanings, for our purposes in the wireless industry there are two primary definitions:
Bandwidth (computer)digital bandwidth: a rate of data transfer, throughput or bit rate, measured in bits per second (bps).
Bandwidth (signal processing) or analog bandwidth, frequency bandwidth or radio bandwidth: a measure of the width of a range of frequencies, measured in hertz.
Bandwidth is a measure of available or consumed data communication resources. As technology grows and our desire for seamless connectivity grows, bandwidth use increases as well.
Our engineers custom design wireless solutions for our clients to suit specific needs.
A signal booster an interchangeable term for cellular repeater, cell phone repeater, or wireless cellular signal booster, a type of bi-directional amplifier (BDA) as commonly named in the wireless telecommunications industry.
A Wi-Fi enabled device such as a personal computer, mobile phone, MP3 player orvideo console can connect to the Internet when within range of a wireless network connected to the Internet.
As defined by PCIA, The Wireless Infastructure Association:
A Distributed Antenna Solution, or DAS, is a network of spatially separated antenna nodes connected to a common source via a transport medium that provides wireless service within a geographic area or structure. DAS antenna elevations are generally at or below the clutter level and installations are compact.
A distributed antenna system can be implemented using passive splitters and feeders, or active repeater amplifiers can be included to overcome the feeder losses. In systems where equalization is applied, it may be desirable to introduce delays between the antenna elements. This artificially increases delay spread in areas of overlapped coverage, permitting quality improvements via time diversity. DAS are customized for individual installations and designed to suit each facility.
A microcell is a cell in a mobile phone network served by a low power cellular base station (tower), covering a limited area such as a mall, a hotel, or a transportation hub.
