- Personal Communications Network
Personal Communications Network (PCN) is the European digital cellular mobile telephone network, developed in accordance with GSM standards.
The PCN system was first initiated by Lord Young in 1988. The Characteristics of PCN are as follows:
a) Operating frequency - 1.7 to 1.88 GHz (1710 - 1785 MHz and 1805 - 1880 MHz).b) Uses 30 GHz or up for microwave back bone system.c) Covers both small cells and large cells.d) Coverage inside and outside buildings.e) Hand over.f) Cell delivery.g) Portable hand set.h) User intelligent network.
PCN uses the DCS -1800 systems, which is similar to GSM, but up converts the frequency to 1.7 to 1.88 GHz, therefore the network structure, the signal structure and the transmission characteristics are similar between PCN and GSM, but operational frequencies are different.
