CELL PHONES

The mobile phone (also called a mobile, wireless, cellular phone, cell phone, or hand phone (hp)) is a short-range, portable electronic device used for mobile voice or data communication over a network of specialized basestations known as cell sites.

In November 2007, the total number of mobile phone subscriptions in the world reached 3.3 billion, or half of the human population, which also makes the mobile phone the most widely spread technology and the most common gadget in the world.

In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone, current mobile phones may support many additional services, andaccessories, such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for access to the Internet, java gaming, bluetooth, infrared, camera with video recorder and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video.

HISTORY OF CELL PHONES

← One of the most interesting aspects of the cell phone is that it is only a radius - extremely sophisticated, but a radius ultimately.

← The telephonewas invented by Alexander Graham Bell, and the wireless communication has roots in the invention of the radius as Nikolai Tesla in the decade of 1880 (formally presented in 1894 by an Italian young man called Guglielmo Marconi). It was of be hoping that one day both technologies were combined in the same device.

← In the epoch to the cellular telephones, the people who really needed mobilecommunication had to trust in the use of radio (radius)-telephone in their cars.

← In the system telephonic radio (radius), a central antenna existed only for every city, and probably 25 available channels in the tower.

← This central antenna was meaning that the telephone in the vehicle would need a powerful antenna, it sufficiently powerful to transmit to 50 ó 60 kms. of distance.This also was meaning that not many persons could use the radius - telephone since simply sufficient channels did not exist to connect

← In 1986 Puerto Rico Telephone places to the forefront of the telecommunications in the Carib, since it begins to offer cellular service to their clients. It is a reason, that millionaire establishes an infrastructure to carry out this project of greatimportance and to start establishing channels, but with name and configuration completely different from the channels of optical fiber, for mentioning someone.
