Total Access Communication System
open-in-new
<p>Total Access Communication System (TACS) and ETACS are variants of <a href="/facts/Advanced_Mobile_Phone_System/j469MQbn">Advanced Mobile Phone System</a> (AMPS) which were announced as the choice for the first two UK national cellular systems in February 1983, less than a year after the UK government announced the T&Cs for the two competing <a href="/facts/Mobile_phone/H3EcqD9h">mobile phone</a> networks in June 1982. This <a href="/facts/1G/5n5oG154">1G</a> technology is now obsolete. </p>
