CELLULAR TECHNOLOGY: Its past, Present and Future
Mobile communication took a big step forward in 1983 with the invention of
the cellular system regulating the portable phone which uses radio waves to
transmit and receive audio signals
Before this time, mobile telephone service in the United States consisting
mainly of car phones, was extremely limited because metropolitan areas had
only one antenna for those purpose
In addition, the Federal Communication Commission, (FCC) assigned only
12-24 frequencies to each area, which meant that only a few calls could occur
at a time. These limitations often meant a 30-minute wait for a dial tone and five
to ten years waiting list just to acquire the service
With the inventions of cellular phones in 1983, personal communications no
longer depended on wires. It has now become possible to connect to the internet
from virtually anywhere in the world using a portable computer and a cellular
modem with satellite service Technologies that develop from different fields,
such as personal communications, computations and space exploration often
worked together to serve the evolving needs of the information age.
