Context

Country: Canada
State/Province: Quebec
Period: THIS EXAMPLE: C. 1997-2000
Canada: This is one of the initial models offered by Bell Mobility when it introduced its digital PCS cellular service in 1997. PCS (personal communications services) was an enhanced form of radiotelephony with wider coverage, superior voice quality and the ability to receive text and pager messages and voice mail notifications. The QCP-2700 could be loaded with browser software for internet email access. Connected to a personal computer, it could send and receive data.. This example was used in Quebec by the donor, who worked with Bell Mobility in customer service, as a personal phone until 2000.
Function: Device used to send and receive voice and data signals via digital or analogue cellular radio.
Technical: The QCP-2700 is designed for use on either 1900 MHz digital CDMA or 800 MHz analogue networks. Qualcomm demonstrated Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology in 1990, and over next the decade it was implemented in many North American digital cellular networks. At the time it had the highest spectrum efficiency of all multiple access techniques. The QCP-2700 was the first dual mode (analogue/digital) CDMA cellular phone.
Area Notes: Unknown
