How do mobiles work? Voice & 3G

Voice calls

Mobile phones work on the same principle as television and radio by using radio frequency (RF) fields to communicate information. The building blocks of a mobile phone network are base stations that transmit and receive calls. When a mobile phone connects to a network, it uses RF signals to communicate with the nearest base station. This is a two-way function, with base stations and handsets sending information to each other.

Speed is critical to today’s mobile communications. Third generation (3G) technology has extended the ability and quality of transferring voice and data. The latest acess technology is 3G broadband (High-Speed Download Packet Access), which enables customer to enjoy even faster download speeds of up to 1.8 Mbps.
