The mobile phone network is made up of lots of base stations.

These base stations cover a relatively small area and make up a pattern that looks like 'cells'.

Biological cells or prison cells, the names are derrived from each other.

This kind of network is called a cellular system, becauses of their likeness to a cellular structure.

As you move from one cell to another, your phone automaticllay changes channel and power. This done automatically and without you even knowing or bothering about it, by the power of the compters built into the system and phones.

Clever, eh?
