Description
Advanced Mobile Phone Service is an analog system that was first
deployed in 1984. To send data a modem is required on both ends
creating a “circuit” connection. The geographical area is
divided into adjacent, non-overlapping, hexagonal-shaped
"cells." Each cell has its own transmitter and receiver
(called a base station) to communicate with the mobile units in that cell;
a mobile switching station coordinates the handoff of mobile units
crossing cell boundaries. Portions of the radio spectrum are reused,
greatly expanding system capacity but also increasing infrastructure
complexity and cost.
* AMPS is the only ubiquitous standard for North America
* Most digital cellular phones have AMPS fallback mode
