 And then welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosalier and I want to record a quick video I always say they're gonna be quick videos, but this one really will be hopefully quite quick demonstrating a way that you can use or a method you can use to Try to find for yourself a good cellular connection in Israel Now I'm gonna show you just sort of like my research process. I went through and just a resource I came across because I think it is useful resource It may not be the only one. There's probably other pieces of info out there, but just this one little table Assuming it's kept updated would be quite handy in terms of figuring out What network is going to be firstly whether your phone's compatible with the network already did it already did a video on that and secondly What frequencies a particular? cellular companies going to use and the reason that that is useful is because in Israel like in most In many geographies now you have the separation you have both mobile network operators and MNOs and you have Mobile virtual network operators which are companies that resale other Companies infrastructure so they use the towers of other cell phone companies and they sell packages to consumers now Think about it. Israel's a small country. It doesn't make sense when you consider the number of cell phone companies here If every single company had its own infrastructure, the country would be brimming full of cell phone towers So that's not the case and you actually have a number of Resalors, so I just want to show you how we came across this resource and I'm gonna just you know do the linguistic basics cellular frequencies good old Google Translate here and To Hebrew and it's Tederim Salolari im so You know, I'm not ashamed to say this is often my starting point is what's that weird? What's that word for frequencies used in the sense of you know radio frequencies? Second second thing I do is run it through Morphix I got to know what the validation is because you don't know in Hebrew off the bat, so is it is it? a Teder or is it a to do or is it what so I just went for frequency put that through Morphix and Quickly enough it came back to me with now and for frequency and you can see it has here Teder and Morphix gives me the verbalization So that is a nice thing to have from Morphix So now that I know that I can at least not make a fool of myself when I go into a cell phone store and say But is a Teder I should I can pronounce it right, which is good So what I did then is just ran this through Google. I mean, I don't need to copy, but I'm being lazy and avoiding typing here Tederim Salolari im and Firstly, there's a Wikipedia in Hebrew and English and this will sort of give you an overview of who's who and What frequencies they are using I thought was here? I had Teder a cellular and this is table one. Let's call it from Wikipedia And we can just compare in a second with table two, but this is a research process The reason I recommend doing this in Hebrew is because it's just always less you're always gonna have a harder time sourcing information in English in Israel and You can even use this if you're not living in Israel. You just want to figure these things out so this list basically the Different companies and I don't know how accurate this is but we can compare it with this and You can compare those two sources with you know asking the phone company now why this matters I'm going to be doing a video soon on building a hopefully an amazing internet connection I'm going to be setting up for myself a bonded internet connection. That's one that uses both internet bait tea sapakintashtit and Cellular internet puts those two together in a hardware device That is going to do stuff like high availability and speed up the speed up the speed So that's hopefully going to get us over our hunch of having a hard time finding good internet here in Jerusalem So that was resource number one and the resource but the resource I wanted to show you guys was Ticla Ticla to Com is a domain now. I know I have some of my screen cropped So I'm just going to put that here in a notepad this website is Ticla to Ticla to com and It says Ticla to go which I think means like connect already, right? Or is it saying get set Get reception already Ticla to in the imperative sense. It means Absorb so yeah, that's clearly not means doesn't mean absorb. I guess connect already So it says Rishimat Here's my best Hebrew pronunciation gonna gonna be weird out here It says Rishimat at a dream. I saw a larry aim by Yisra. I Can't open a dog be ill at a dream clever to sell a lot of him miss the mesh it So you can check here which Frequency your cell phone company uses now Why am I making such a big song and dance about this little chart that I'm doing a YouTube video? You may answer you may wonder that question And I will tell you why it's for this little chart here Because it's really really useful and I'll explain why momentarily so What this website's done here is created here as you can see It has the frequencies for 2g 3g 4g 5g But instead of listing a company by company It's done this in a more logical fashion and it has listed What I believe is the mobile network operator partner Palafon and Salcom this chart and I checked the update Day now. I'm just being totally geeky here for a moment. It didn't say so I went ahead and did this Weird method of searching for the date a website was published Super super kind of weird, right? So there was a date stamped there Linux time converter. I think is the one we need Epoch converter calm and I converted the timestamp to human readable format And this told me that the website was published on quite recently 13th of January 2021 whether that was published or That was updated and I'm not not so sure but and this would suggest that it's relatively recent So ticklish time look with that calm here and So these guys have grouped it into partner Palafon and Salcom and under each They have put what I believe each company here is an MVNO So you can see partner the MVM VNO is a partner or 012 hot 019 and next the MVNO is a Palafon or walla Rami levy select to show it high mobile and guinea P mobile and of Salcom They're saying it's Golan and we 4g now again The reason this matters is because if you're trying to figure out what connectivity is going to work well in your area for Let's say 4g or 5g then to the best of my knowledge. It could be wrong if I'm wrong connect correct me in the comments Please the connectivity you get over the MVO and the MVNO in an area on the same band Should be pretty similar if not the exact same So it saves you some digging you just need to know Whose infrastructure your phone company in Israel is actually using and it's one of three options according to this chart So the only one I would caution about is we 4g because we 4g we 4g Salcom they were recently in a legal spat and They've been sold to free telecom which is another MVNO in Israel It's all very confusing Free telecom Ted Darim, so you can go down this to kind of you know rabbit hole of trying to figure out You can even look through government PDFs here to try to certain this information But I just want to cover the basics of not going to not going too deep into that rabbit hole This is a really useful chart. I didn't compare yet. This was this but you know do your own digging compare with the phone company, but Check check out this website. It lists three different. I hope they're going to keep it updated It's you know, it gives you the MVNOs for the MVOs sets out their frequencies and therefore if you're looking to see You know what it's going to work. So you can say for instance, well We 4g 1800 did not work So if we 4g and Golan are the same then it's probably not going to be better reception for We 4g Golan or Salcom because they're all probably this it's all they're all the same infrastructure and Therefore if that didn't work in my area, then maybe let's try a telephone partner or one of their MVNOs So I hope that that was somewhat Sensible Thank you for traveling down into the depths of the cellular connectivity research rabbit hole with me the cellular network cellular Market in Israel is competitive because of the fact that it was made to be competitive And therefore there's a lot of these companies, but if you're trying to figure out what's going to work you can simplify the your research process by doing a bit of digging figuring out who is Who is really using who what frequencies they're broadcasting at and then that makes it quite easy to see Well, what kind of kind of what kind of performance are you likely to guess and what are your devices going to be compatible?
