Comprehensive Guide to How a Mobile Network Works

A mobile network is basically comprised of a web of base stations, where each base station covers a delimited area (also known as cell) and routing communications as radio waves to and from the terminals of the users. Mobile communications adhere to the general principle     of telephony, which is connecting two remote users via a network equipment of an service operator. However, contrary to fixed phones, for a mobile network, it is nothing else but radio transmissions that make way for the final link. The mobile telephone of the user communicates through the air with an antenna present in the base station antenna. This, in turn connects to the operator’s central exchange, which is a computer system.


To make a successful communication, a mobile user needs to within the range of base stations. This has a limited range, and spans only across a small area around it (also known as cell). To extend across the maximum territory, you need to ensure that the users are always able to make calls, operators make use of thousands of cells, each of them fitted with capable antennas, making sure that their cells overlap and so that the current location of the users is never lost.

The size of the cell depends on a lot of factors, the most important ones include the base station type which is used, the terrain (it can be plains, hills or valleys, and so on), installation location, and population density of the area.
