`DataTAC
`
`From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
`
`DataTAC is a wireless data network technology originally developed by Motorola and deployed in the United
`States as the ARDIS network. DataTAC was also marketed in the mid-1990s as MobileData by Telecom
`Australia,[1] and is still used by Bell Mobility as a paging network in Canada. The first public open and mobile
`data network using MDI DataTac was found in Hong Kong as Hutchison Mobile Data Limited (a subsidiary of
`Hutchison Telecom) where public end-to-end data services are provided for enterprises, Fedex, and consumer
`mobile information services were also offered called MobileQuotes with financial information, news, telebetting
`and stock data.
`
`DataTac is an open standard for point to point wireless data communications, similar to Mobitex. Like Mobitex, it
`is mainly used in vertical market applications. One of the early DataTac devices was the Newton Messaging Card,
`a two-way pager connected to a PC card using the DataTac network. The original BlackBerry devices, the RIM
`850 and 857 also used the DataTac network.
`
`In North America, DataTac is typically deployed in the 800 MHz band. DataTAC was also deployed in the same
`band by Telecom Australia (now Telstra).
`
`The DataTAC network runs at speeds up to 19.2 kbit/s, which is not sufficient to handle most of the wireless data
`applications available today. The network runs 25 kHz channels in the 800 MHz frequency bands. Due to the lower
`frequency bands that DataTAC uses, in-building coverage is typically better than with newer, higher frequency
`networks.
