What is DataTAC? - a definition from Whatis.com DataTAC is a narrowband wireless network that began as a joint venture between Motorola and IBM for use with two-way pagers and personal digital assistants (PDAs). DataTAC networks are operated by Motient Corporation in the United States and Bell Mobility in Canada. DataTAC devices operate in the 800-MHz radio frequency (RF) band at data speeds of up to 19.2 Kbps. searchsmb.techtarget.com /sDefinition/0,,sid44_gci1224975,00.html   (383 words)

DataTAC Definition Due to its lower frequency range, the DataTAC network can penetrate buildings better than other higher-speed networks. DataTAC 5000 is used in Europe, and DataTAC 6000 is implemented in Asia. DataTAC was the technology behind the ARDIS network, which was created by IBM and Motorola in 1983 for IBM field service technicians. www.pcmag.com /encyclopedia_term/0,2542,t=DataTAC&i=55441,00.asp   (0 words)

Wireless Data Networks-The Internet Protocol Journal - Volume 8, Number 1 - Cisco Systems DataTAC (also known as ARDIS in the United States) was developed by Motorola in the mid-1980s. Unlike Mobitex, DataTAC was designed to provide optimal in-building coverage, and it uses a cellular architecture that does not take advantage of frequency reuse. DataTAC and CDPD are phased out by service providers in the United States in favor of newer technologies. www.cisco.com /web/about/ac123/ac147/archived_issues/ipj_8-1/wireless_networks.html   (3915 words)

Upwardly mobile: News - Communications - ZDNet Australia DataTac requires expensive, proprietary equipment, while GPRS is becoming standard in all midrange and high-end mobile phones; these phones can typically be linked to a PC via Bluetooth, infrared, or a cable. Given DataTac’s limited bandwidth, it has mainly been used to transmit chunks of text—new jobs for taxi drivers, pickup instructions for couriers, and so on. GPRS is a big enough improvement over DataTac that photocopier maker Konica Australia this year decided to use GPRS to mobilise its 100-strong force of field engineers. www.zdnet.com.au /news/communications/print.htm?TYPE=story&AT=120269232-130061791t-110000003c   (4132 words)

Radio IP Software - Radio IP Shadoport DataTAC networks are FLM only, there is no easy migration to IP, and they won't run TN5250, TN3270, web browsers or any other TCP/IP applications. FLM is neither encrypted nor compressed resulting in slow data throughput, a higher network load and non-compliance with government security standards. Fast access to dispatch or NCIC information in the field can be a matter of life or death. www.radio-ip.com /radio-ip-shadoport.php   (0 words)

Technology 1 But wireless terminals using DataTAC or Mobitex may not be compatible with third generation wireless services such as GPRS or GSM. Another issue is that, as the wireless revolution creeps into the point-of-sale market, most have implemented their own wireless strategy. If a merchant is using Mobitex or DataTAC for wireless services and switches to terminals using third-generation wireless services, such as GPRS, the platform would have to be built in such a way to handle traffic from all current and future wireless services ­ which is possible. www.transactionworld.com /articles/2002/april/technology1.asp   (1019 words)

Emerging Technology: Mobile Messaging - E-mail As It Was Meant To Be? There are two main types: Motorola's DataTAC, operated by IBM spin-off Motient; and Ericsson's Mobitex, operated by Cingular under the brand name Cingular Interactive. Though there are Mobitex and DataTAC networks in other countries, they are used mostly for automated telemetry, not human communication. E-mail is less intrusive than a ringing phone, so employees may carry a device that doesn't allow the boss to demand their immediate attention while at home. www.callcentermagazine.com /shared/printableArticle.jhtml?articleID=8703506   (3108 words)

Wireless GPS Tracking Devices Overview As these networks had data speeds limited to 9.6 Kbps, coverage only in core cities and did not support voice, their adoption was somewhat restricted to usage for remote email management. The air time costs for these devices is usually higher than web-enabled cell phones due to the fact that DataTAC and Mobitex networks have a higher tariff structure in general. This however can be balanced out with the fact that a voice airtime package is not always necessary, as some wireless networks do not support voice. www.futurequest.biz /knowledgebase/wireless_gps_devices_pagers.html   (450 words)

jack barse » RIM Revenue Mix Changing…Again If we also assume 7% of total revenue came from OEM radiomodem sales, the resulting mix is 72% of revenue from hardware, 21% from services, and 7% from OEM radios. A year later, in April 2001 (reporting on FQ4 2001, from December 2000 through February 2001), RIM reported that BlackBerry (by then running on both Mobitex and DataTAC) accounted for approximately 48% of the company’s revenue, while Mobitex and DataTAC handhelds accounted for 45% and OEM radiomodems accounted for 7%. If we make the same 50-50 assumption as before, the company’s revenue mix is about the same as the previous year: 69% from hardware, 24% from services, and 7% from OEM devices. www.barse.org /?p=248   (814 words)
