SAN DIEGO - The 1996 Republican National Convention will use a new wireless telecommunications technology that offers a secure and private alternative to cellular.

The new technology is Personal Communications Services (PCS). It will be provided by Pacific Bell Mobile Services as the Republican National Convention's official provider of wireless Personal Communications Services. The convention will be in San Diego Aug. 12 through 15.

Unlike cellular, PCS technology is 100 percent digital. Being digital, PCS offers superior sound quality and reliability, as well as built-in complex encryption for maximum privacy and protection from "cloning," a form of cellular theft that costs consumers $650 million a year.

"Pacific Bell's PCS is the only secure wireless telecommunications technology available to the GOP," said Terry Valeski, Pacific Bell Mobile Services vice president.
