Introduction

This Part details definitions, methods of measurement and minimum performance requirements of 800 MHz Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) Mobile Data Base Station (MDBS) transceivers. These standards assure that a Mobile End System (M-ES) may obtain service in any CDPD Network that meets the compatibility requirements of the MDBS.

Compatibility, as used in connection with these standards and those of the M-ES, is understood to mean: All CDPD fixed systems that are able to establish communications with any M-ES. Conversely, any Mobile End System is able to establish communications in any CDPD system in which it is authorized.
