What are the advantages of Mobile Phone Masts?
We would not be able to use our mobile phones without them
Why are portable telephones called cellular phones how do they work?
Portable (cell) phones are low-power devices - they have a limited range. Each mobile-phone communicates with at least three mobile 'masts' to establish its location so the network can keep the call connected. These masts cover a set area - or 'cell' (which is why americans call them cell-phones). The masts communicate with each other to connect the call to its destination.
Do mobile phones need satellites?
The only time a mobile needs to use a satellite - is for international calling. Domestic mobile calls are handled by the network of repeater masts.
Are disposable phones traceable?
If - by 'disposable' phones - you mean 'pay as you go' - then yes they are ! ALL mobile phones handsets can be traced to a physical area within 3 metres of the handset - just by using the mobile phone network of masts. After that, there are hand-held devices that will pinpoint the handset with greater accuracy.
How is RFID used in mobile phones?
Every time you switch on your mobile, It automatically sends out a piece of RFID (or 'find me') data. This is picked up by the nearest phone masts, so the network can route calls texts and data to the handset.
Pros and cons of mobile phone masts in public areas?
have a look at this website http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1558441/Mobile-phone-masts-do-not-damage-health.html
How many mobile phone masts are there in the UK?
Each of the 5 main networks (Vodafone, O2, 3, Orange, T-Mobile) has in excess of 10 000 masts.
Where are the mobile phone masts located in Enfield Middlesex?
Just about anywhere !.. In towns & cities - they're placed high up on tall buildings or self-standing masts. The mobile phone network uses microwaves to relay the calls - so it needs 'line of sight' from one mast to the next.
Do Mobile masts damage your health?

What are three advantages of having GPS built into youtr phones?
Well, my ICT GCSE book says... It can locate your current location and give you directions to a specified destination. It can tell you the distance from one destination to another When the signal between a mobile phone and satellites is weak, the signal is sent by the mobile phone is diverted to a mobile masts which identify the phones exact location and allows the user to carry on using the feature
Why are there places where your mobile phone won't work?
Mobile phones us radio frequencies in the micro-wave section of the radio spectrum. This, coupled with the relatively low power output of the handset - means they only transmit & receive over a relatively short distance. The mobile network is an array of 'cells' - radio masts covering a small area, which overlaps with its neighbour. Since microwaves cannot travel through solid objects such as rock, or thick concrete - there will always be some places 'out of sight' of the masts - and thus you have 'black spots'
WHAT DOES GEOGRAPHY TO DO WITH MOBILE PHONES add at least 5 relations between the two?
The network of mobile phone masts 'triangulates' their signals so that they know exactly where each handset is (to within an area of about 3 metres). Large objects such as hills, mountains and even tall buildings can restrict the signal getting to & from the device.
