Broadband Personal Communications Service (PCS)
|
The broadband PCS band was originally 1930-1990 MHz (base transmit) paired with 1850-1910 MHz (mobile transmit). The paired band was subdivided into six sub-bands, A-F.
The spectrum in the 1910-1930 MHz portion was dedicated to low-power unlicensed PCS applications. However, the 1910-1920 MHz portion has since been further divided into a "G block" portion at 1910-1915 MHz (paired with 1990-1995 MHz) that was given to Nextel in return for Nextel vacating some 800 MHz spectrum that caused interference to Public Safety; and a "H block" portion at 1915-1920 MHz (paired with 1995-2000 MHz) that comprises the Advanced Wireless Services-2 (AWS-2) block.
The block 1920-1930 MHz is reserved for Unlicensed PCS operation pursuant to Part 15 subpart D.
