Your cellular phone is essentially a highly sophisticated radio, basically no different from any other
two-way radio system.
The ingenuity of the cellular system lies in the splitting of the broadcasting environment into a multitude
of relatively small cells with low-power transmitters.
This “Cellular approach” to radio communication allows for extensive frequency reuse so that
millions of people can use their mobile phones simultaneously although the number of frequencies are
limited. The broadcasting cells are commonly illustrated as hexagons, typically 10 square miles in area
with the base station in the center. This arrangement allows for non-adjacent cells to use the same
frequencies without risk of interference.
Your cellular phone is in constant contact with the nearest base station. As you move from cell to cell, e.g.
while driving in your car, the base station you are approaching takes over when you are within reach.
This happens within split seconds without your noticing it.
All you experience is a stable and clear connection.
However, not all network operators provide the same coverage in all areas. Hence, if you travel near the
limit of your network’s coverage, you may experience difficulties in maintaining the connection.
The same may hap pen if the radio signal is blocked by obstacles such as high trees, hills or buildings,
or if you are inside a heavily reinforced concrete building.
