ATIS Publishes Two New Wireless American National Standards December 23, 2003, Washington, D.C. – ATIS – the leader in communications and information technology standards development – announced that its Technical Subcommittee T1P1 has published two new wireless American National Standards. The first Standard entitled, “Stage 1 Service Description for Personal Communication Service – Enhanced Priority Access and Channel Assignment (PACA-E) Supplementary Services,” defines and describes the PACA-E services for PCS. This service is intended to provide preferential treatment to a special group of users that includes National Security and Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) users. This Standard defines the functionality required to support the PACA-E priority treatment supplementary service in a PCS basic call service. The second Standard, “PCS1900 and GSM 850 References –
GSM Specifications (Release 99 & Release 4 & GTT),”
provides the North American GSM industry with information on the
PCS1900 and GSM 850 technologies to ensure interoperability between
equipment. The Standard includes the core standards for PCS1900
and GSM 850, which are the Radio Interface, A-Interface, and MAP
Specifications. This Standard also supports features for General
Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Enhanced Data Rate for GSM Evolution
(EDGE), Number Portability (NP), Customized Application for Mobile
Network Enhanced Logic (CAMEL), and Location Services (LCS). T1P1
developed this Standard in collaboration with the 3GPP. The new wireless Standards are available via the ATIS Document
