ARLINGTON, Va.-The Telecommunications Industry Association published a new standard, “Recommended Minimum Performance Standards for Base Stations Supporting Dual-Mode Spread Spectrum Cellular Mobile Stations,” TIA/EIA 97-B.
The document ensures a mobile station can obtain service in any cellular system that meets the compatibility requirements of the new standard. The standard concentrates specifically on the base-station radio transmitting and receiving equipment; and covers the operation of the base station and the mobile switching center only to the extent that compatibility with Interim Standard-95 is ensured.
