DataTAC Data System Station (DSS) base site equipment is located at
various remote sites in the operational area of coverage and provides the RF
link between the DataTAC infrastructure and end user devices. They convert
the host data messages into the RD-LAP radio channel protocol for
transmission to the user devices and reverse the process on the return
connection. They also allow device roaming between base site coverage
areas in a seamless manner completely transparent to the end user.
