Cellular Insights

What is Cellular?

Cellular technology is a mobile communication system that divides a geographical area into smaller cells, each served by a base station (cell site). These cells work together to provide widespread coverage, enabling mobile devices like smartphones to connect to the network and communicate wirelessly. It is commonly used for voice calls, text messaging, and mobile internet access.
