Wireless technology for command control and communications
Abstract
There are many different views on exactly what is personal communication services (PCS). But the majority agree that 'integrated access,' 'personalized identification,' and 'mobile roaming' are the themes of PCS. Personalized services means that identification is not based on a terminal but instead on a person. PCS will use digital technology, standard procedures, and air interface for universal roaming. This means a tetherless connection through all the infrastructure for voice, data, image, and video services. The intensive development can be divided into the following four areas: digital cellular or digital PCS, wireless data network services (WWAN, WLAN, WPBX), land mobile radio (LMR), and mobile satellite services (MSS). These areas characterize wireless technology in their own perspectives; possible DOD applications will be discussed.
