Abstract :
The Tl and TIA standards committees in the United States have worked jointly on the development of the first phase of personal communication services (PCS) standards, which were approved in December 1995. PCS systems based on these standards are currently under development. As these systems are deployed, the variety of wireless systems will grow, making interworking and interoperability a key challenge. This article provides an overview of PCS standards and explores how the different types of wireless systems (PCS and cellular) will utilize the capabilities of the intelligent network to provide seamless roaming
