Total Access Communication System

First-generation Motorola 4500X mobile phone, which utilised ETACS

Total Access Communication System (TACS) and ETACS are variants of Advanced Mobile Phone System (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 mobile phone networks in June 1982.[1] This 1G technology is now obsolete.
