ADSL:::(Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) High speed transmission technology that uses existing copper facilities and has a greater bandwidth in one direction than the other (asymmetrical). It provides slower upstream flow and faster downstream flow.
AMPS:::(Advanced Mobile Phone Service) Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) is commonly known as analog cellular and is offered in the 800 MHz spectrum. Calling this system analog is not really true. Although your voice is transmitted via analog, some of the phone's background operations are digital in nature. AMPS offers limited battery life, poor sound quality, and has a much higher power output rate than the newer digital phones. Compare this with TDMA, CDMA, GSM, and iDEN.

CDMA:::Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), also known as IS-95, is one of the newer digital technologies in use. CDMA differs from GSM and TDMA by its use of spread spectrum technology for transmitting voice or data over the air. Rather than dividing the radio frequency spectrum into separate user channels by frequency slices or time slots, spread spectrum technology separates users by assigning them digital codes within the same broad spectrum. Advantages of CDMA include higher user capacity and immunity from interference by other signals. CDMA is available in either 800 or 1900 MHz frequencies.

A city or county is divided into small "cells," each of which is equipped with a low-powered radio transmitter/receiver. The cells can vary in size depending on terrain and capacity demands. By controlling the transmission power and the radio frequencies assigned from one cell to another, a computer at the Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO) monitors the movement and transfers (or hands off) the phone call to another cell and another radio frequency as needed.
Centrex:::A class of business services that offers features similar to that of a Private Branch Exchange (PBX), without the necessity of customer-owned equipment and utilizes standard business lines. Because the equipment is located, owned and maintained by the local telephone company's central office, the customer is spared the expense of keeping up with fast-moving technology changes. Local service providers have given unique trade names to their Centrex-like services, e.g., Centranet, Centron, ESSX, Plexar, Premier, Prestige.

GSM's air interface is based on narrowband TDMA technology, where available frequency bands are divided into time slots, with each user having access to one time slot at regular intervals. Narrow band TDMA allows eight simultaneous communications on a single radio multiplexer and is designed to support 16 half-rate channels.

A PBX provides functions such as extension-to-extension calling, call waiting and call transfer. In a PBX system phone numbers are assigned to the system, not individual stations and callers have no control over which line is being used. The main purpose of a PBX is to save the cost of individual lines for each user. The PBX is owned or leased and operated by the user rather than the telephone company.
PCS:::(Personal Communications Services) Two-way, 1900 MHz digital voice, messaging and data service designed as the second generation of cellular.

Soft Handoff:::Procedure in which two base stations, one in the cell site where the phone is located and the other in the cell site to which the conversation is being passed, hold onto the call until the handoff is completed. The first cell site does not cut off the conversation until it receives information that the second is maintaining the call.
SS7:::(Signaling System 7) An international high speed signaling backbone for the public switched telephone network.
Strongest Signal:::The concept that a wireless 911 call should be routed to the cell site with the strongest link to the phone, regardless of which carrier holds the caller as a customer.
