Everything about Digital AMPS
2G mobile-phone standard that uses time-division multiple access
Digital AMPS, most often referred to as TDMA, is a second-generation (2G) cellular phone system that was once prevalent throughout the Americas, particularly in the United States and Canada since the first commercial network was deployed in 1993. Former large D-AMPS networks included those of AT&T and Rogers Wireless. The name TDMA is based on the abbreviation for time-division multiple access, a common multiple access technique which is used in most 2G standards, including GSM. D-AMPS competed against GSM and systems based on code-division multiple access (CDMA). It is now considered end-of-life, as existing networks have shut and been replaced by GSM/GPRS or CDMA2000 technologies. The last carrier to operate a D-AMPS network was U.S. Cellular, who terminated it on February 10, 2009. Wikipedia →
