The PCCA Supports the Mobile Computing Promotion Consortium's (MCPC) Start-up Business Support Program for Companies in the Wireless Area to Gain Access to Japan's Markets and Companies.

The PCCA evaluates wireless technologies and mobile-communications architectures. It also promotes wireless interoperability through workshops and analysis, and develops industry recommendations. It addresses the interaction between networks, devices, interfaces, computing platforms, middleware and applications.

The Portable Computer and Communications Association was founded to provide a forum for disparate industries to meet, learn about each other, and collaborate on the interaction of the multiple technologies involved in wireless solutions. The challenges that surround the implementation of true mobility are complex. Without a forum such as the PCCA, the realization of the vision would be delayed.

Standards and Architecture Committee
The PCCA standards and architecture committee is the most active committee, and conducts regular meetings to investigate new wireless technologies. It previously defined interface standards for wireless modems and network management approaches for wireless and mobile computing. The committee produced standards STD-101 and STD-201.
