(Cingular)</p> <p>Base stations (or BS) are low-power multi-channel two-way radios which are in a fixed location. They are typically used by low-power single-channel, two-way radios such as mobile phones, portable phones and wireless routers. When you talk on such a mobile phone, the signals from your mobile (and perhaps dozens of other people around you) are being received and sent to a nearby base station. From that base station your phone call is connected into the regular land-line phone system by the mobile phone network. In the case of a portable phone, the connection is typically direct to a land line.</p> <p>Emissions issues <span class='read-more'><a href="http://www.cellphoneobserver.com/mobile_glossary_base_station">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;read&nbsp;more&nbsp;&raquo;</a></span></p> http://www.cellphoneobserver.com/mobile_glossary_base_station#comments Base Station Cell site Tue, 13 Mar 2007 09:46:38 +0000 admin 1641 at http://www.cellphoneobserver.com
