How do Wireless Telephone Systems Work?
Wireless telephone systems work on a different concept from radio transmission systems most people are familiar with, such as television and radio stations. In most types of radio transmission systems, the object is to transmit your signal as far as possible, in order to maximize the amount of listeners or viewers you may have.
In cellular systems, the object is to transmit a controlled signal. This is done to maximize the amount of channels that are given to each cellular provider for use. Cellular systems are assigned a set number of channels for a given area, usually around 400. In order to maximize the amount of calls/channels per given geographic area, they break the coverage area into a series of cells. Each cell can cover anywhere from a one mile radius from the base station in the city and urban areas to a 10 mile radius in the countryside and rural areas. Usually an arrangement of seven repeating cells is used, with 50 or 60 channels used per cell. As you move a mobile phone between these cells, the mobile phone is 'handed off' between the cell sites and channels, being controlled by the mobile telephone switching office (MTSO), or mobile switching center (MSC). This makes use of the most important part of the cellular system, frequency re-use. There are only a limited amount of channels available in any cellular system, and this system makes the same channel available in different geographic parts of the system, to different users.
Signals are sent back and forth between the MTSO and the cell site over high capacity circuits (DS3) or microwave links. This is known as backhaul, or the process of bringing the signal from the switch to and from the individual cell site.
There are two main frequencies used for wireless telephone communications in the United States. These are 1.9 Ghz (1900 Mhz) and 800 Mhz. All systems using 1.9 Ghz utilize digital technology and are referred to as PCS http://www.emfnews.org/headset.html

  • I work in the communications industry, yes we often get complaints of headaches etc when we install new antennas. Kinda strange that people often claim to feel ill weeks or months before they've even commisioned though!!!

  • Now you are making even less sense than in your previous comments. 

    What is it about people here that can't type a complete sentence or manage to spell common words properly. Are they still in elementary school?

  • @skewty What i'm trying to say is that in a lot of cases the reason for these headaches etc is purely psychosomatic. We often get our antenna contractors to install masts on all buildings involved in a particular project in one go. It is sometimes a few weeks before there is even any equipment on site never mind connected up and running and yet we still receive complaints of these symptoms which cannot be caused by anything being emitted by an as yet unused mast.

  • @peter161067 We always do commissioning in the industry I work in. The equipment is usually turned on and active before commissioning. Commissioning is typically the process of adjusting, fine tuning and final touches. Basically the system needs to be checked / measured / turned down to ensure it meets contractual and regulatory requirements.  ** Your argument is quite possibly intended to lead people to believe that the system was not active before commissioning. Who's side are you on?

  • My question is, why can't "the English" speak freekin' ENGLISH?

  • don't forget about those satellite dishes...

  • This nonsense should be forgotten. A basic knowledge of physics is enough to refute any suggestion of a link between mobile phone masts and ill-health.

    And what is Jack Walker a doctor of anyway? Divinity?

  • im so tired of hearing about the dangers of cell phones , no matter what you eat or do now days your gona die , your gona die no matter what the heck you do. if its that bad take the damn cell phones of the market, like i say your gona die no matter what u do know days.

  • Digital TV, H.A.A.R.P., GWEN Towers, Silent Sound & Mind Control Technologies The age of deception is here and thanks to digital technology is now even easier to fool people in mass numbers. A photograph, a video, and a any sound can be digitally manipulated to show something that is not really there. This leads us to the topic of why( in part) the US will be switching all broadcasts from analog to digital.Overviews a secret Pentagon psychotronics THATS HAS BEEN OPERATION SINCE 1990

  • @peter161067 Well, rational thought, legitimate research, & truthful claims aren't things which the CONspiracy-Theory-Quack-Crowd commonly practice. And woe is you if you ever try to question their theatrics & drama. They are only interested in what they THINK is happening, or what they WANT to be happning, or what Conspiracies Is Us & All U Towers R Belong 2 Us Dot Com TELL them is happening ....... not the actual facts & truths.

    And they call NON-brainwashees "Sheeples"? Wow!!

  • 2500 X more Radiation

    cell phone are 0.6 watts. Ham Radio also known as amateur radio are 1500 watts !

    you tube video [ Antenna Stirs Up Controversy ] identify how ham radio looks like by antenna type ( they looks like monster TV antenna ) , make thing worse, one of ham radio wave range is same as microwave oven. most powerful microwave oven are rated 1200 watts.
