Wireless Communications Service


Wireless Communications Service is a set of frequency bands designated in the United States and Canada in the 2305–2320 and 2345–2360 MHz spectrum range. The most common use of WCS spectrum is mobile voice and data services, including cell phone, text messaging, and Internet.

Technical specifications

There are four blocks in WCS:
The WCS frequency band is not contiguous, and in the United States the 2305–2360 MHz band is split between cellular networks and satellite radio (SDARS) users. The WCS C and D Blocks abut the SDARS spectrum allocation, which is 2320–2345 MHz.

Interference

AT&T and SiriusXM have previously raised interference concerns due to the proximity of these two spectrum allocations.
