Best Answer

Because the functioning call area is divided into hexagonal "cells" with a Transceiving tower at the common corner of three adjacent "cells". The towers are placed close enough that all adjacent "cells" partially overlap. When the signal starts to fade in one "cell" and rise in another, the two towers perform a "handoff" allowing continuous uninterrupted service.
