Cellular vs. PCS
By qwcdirect | July 4, 2010
PCs involves a combination of services such as paging caller ID and E-mail with an emphasis on personal service and extended ,mobility and is often used in place of digital cellular. They have smaller cells and require a larger number of antennas to cover a geographic area. They use frequencies between 18850 and 1900MHz. Cellular service is designed for use in cars consequently the network originally covered all roads and highways. Their frequency band is between 824- 895Mhz.
As the handsets become smaller, and highly portable they coverage was extended to residential neighborhoods shopping malls and commercial areas but with a basic pricing and network lay out that is based on the concept of the car phone. In a situation with all things equal the difference frequency range between the two has no real impact on PCs users as the higher frequencies do not allow the signals to travel over a long distance as that of cellular signals. The decision to get a PCs or a Cellular depends entirely on the individual.
