Commercial Packet Radio
Many commercial operations, particularly those that make use of vehicle dispatch (i.e. taxis, tow trucks, police) were quick to note the value of packet radio systems to provide simple mobile data systems. This led to the rapid development of a number of commercial packet radio systems:
- MDI (1979)
- DCS (1984)
- DRN (1986)
- Mobitex (1986)
- ARDIS (1990)
- CDPD allowed packet data to be carried over AMPS analog cellular telephone networks
- GPRS is the packet data facility provided by the GSM cellular telephone network
