  PHS: Personal HandyPhone System
Personal HandyPhone System (PHS) was developed in Japan as a cordless telecommunication system operating within the band 1895MHz to 1918MHz.
PHS is a lightweight portable wireless telephone that functions as a cordless phone in the home and as a mobile phone elsewhere.
The Personal Handyphone also handles voice, fax, and video signals.

 Low-Tier Wireless Local Loop Radio Systems
Part 2: Comparison of Systems
The PACS radio system was shown to have a lower cost for comparable coverage than the PWT-E system for all but the highest extremes of service penetration and high-density subscriber assumptions.
Figure 2 shows the variation in the total number of RPs required for both geographic and traffic coverage for the PWT-E and PACS systems for the Miami and Jacksonville low tier coverage areas as the penetration of WLL was assumed to vary from 0 to 100 percent, with a corresponding variation in mobility traffic.
For the PWT-E system, on the other hand, the initial deployment of RPs for geographic coverage represents far higher capacity than is needed for traffic throughout the study period, and therefore the number of RPs required remains constant up to a WLL penetration of about 60.

Personal Handyphone System (PHS) is an open standard formulated in Japan for personal communications services.
PHS was originally developed in response to a need for a digital cordless telephone system and a compatible second tier public mobile system.
Personal Communication Networks will also make use of a combination of micro-cellular radio techniques and Advanced Network Intelligence to provide infrastructure to support a mass market for low power, lightweight and inexpensive pocket radio telephones.

 [No title]
PHS builds upon similar low cost mobile systems such as the United Kingdom's CT-2 system to bring about a highly reliable, low-cost cordless telephone system that is fully digitized throughout its operation.
However, as the system is designed for both outdoor and indoor use, users will be able to make and receive calls while inside underground shopping centers and other facilities that often cause interference to cellular phones.
Furthermore, as the system makes use of land lines for switching calls between different cell areas the quality of transmissions is extremely high with little indication that one is using a cordless phone.

 Verizon Learning Center - Wireless Technology - An Overview - Page 3 of 6
The Japanese equivalent to DECT is PHS (Personal Handyphone System), however from the outset, it was developed as a public access product, not as a home or business cordless system.
The data speed of PHS is currently at 64kb/s and it is expected to deliver 128kb/s in the Spring of 2002.
The Personal Handyphone System (PHS) standard is a TDD-TDMA based low tier microcellular wireless communications technology operating in the 1880 to 1930 MHz band, now used by millions of subscribers worldwide in public PHS networks, PHS-WLL networks, corporate indoor PBX applications and in the home environment.

The Personal Handyphone System uses a wireless telephone similar to a cordless phone but more sophisticated, providing wireless voice and data services, and limited mobility in a particular geographic area.
While maintaining the same features their customer is accustomed to in their homes and businesses, the PHS can be deployed as a citywide or rural portable telephone network, enabling users to travel throughout a community and still receive service, up to 500 meters from the nearest micro cell site.
The company's systems, services and software are designed to help customers quickly deploy and better manage their networks and create new, revenue-generating services that help businesses and consumers.

 IEC: Wireless Local Loop (WLL)
Due to widespread deployment, analog cellular systems are expected to be a major wireless platform for WLL, at least in the short term.
These systems have seen rapid growth and are expected to outpace analog cellular over the next few years.
Some of the services include personal numbers assigned to individuals rather than telephones, call completion regardless of locations (find me), calls to the PCS customer that can be paid by either the caller or the receiver, and call-management services that give the called party greater control over incoming calls.

 CNN.com - Network system supports visually impaired people - October 10, 2001
The system was developed by the Japanese government agency National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) using software that transmits voice and video via the second-generation wireless PHS (personal handyphone system) network, and light-weight devices incorporating a small video camera, an earphone and a microphone.
AIST itself does not plan to commercialize the system, but offered it as a way of showing how wireless network infrastructure can be used in unique ways.
A system such as the one AIST demonstrated potentially will be able to use 3G videophone cameras, which would eliminate the need for users to carry PCs with them.

Of the remaining types of Mars exploration systems, all will need "comm-to-orbit", that is, communication relay to and from Earth, not by way of a lander but by way of an overhead orbiting satellite or group of satellites.
This system is quite limited in its capabilities, for it does not support the forward command path or radiometric position determination, only data relay back to Earth.
Along these lines, a recently discussed goal is to have a dedicated Mars Relay Satellite system in place to support the first manned mission to Mars which is capable of live High Definition Television transmissions of the surface operations: we at JPL are ready for the challenge.
