Cellular networks are a type of wireless communication technology that uses cells to provide coverage over a wide area. Cells are small, hexagonal areas that are served by a base station, which transmits and receives signals from mobile devices. Cellular networks are used by mobile phones, tablets, and other wireless devices to connect to the internet and other devices.
How Cellular Networks Work
Cellular networks work by dividing a service area into small cells. Each cell is served by a base station, which is responsible for transmitting and receiving signals from mobile devices within its range. When a mobile device moves from one cell to another, it connects to the new cell's base station. This handover process is usually seamless and does not interrupt the user's connection.
Types of Cellular Networks
There are several different types of cellular networks, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common types of cellular networks are:
