Cell phone (telefone celular) is a wireless, portable, long-range, electronic telephone, which during voyage can seamlessly turn antenna connections, from one radio reception cell to an additional one radio reception cell, without dropping or losing the ongoing call.
Besides the standard voice function of a telephone, newest cell phones (telefone celular) have features such as Sms for text messages, Mms for multimedia messages, radio, games, internet connectivity for email, browsing, blogging, music (Mp3) playback, memo recording, built-in cameras and camcorders, ringtones, personal organizers, Push-to-Talk (Ptt), Bluetooth and infrared connectivity, call registers, streaming video, downloading video, video call, and also serve as wireless modems for Pcs that can be linked to the Internet.
The power in a cell phone (telefone celular) is obtained from rechargeable batteries, which can be recharged from the mains, a Usb port or a cigarette lighter port in an automobile. Nickel Metal Hydride were the most tasteless types of batteries, which due to the "memory effect" (the user can recharge only when the whole battery is drained off) were replaced by Lithium-Ion batteries, which did not suffer from any memory effect.
Cell phones (telefone celular) came into existence because of the invention of hexagonal cells in 1947, for the base stations by Bell Labs engineers at At&T. This was added developed during the 1960s by Bell Labs. during a call, the channel frequency could not be changed automatically from one cell (base station coverage area) to an additional one cell (base station coverage area) as the man traveled from the area of one cell to the area of an additional one cell. Amos Joel of Bell Labs invented a breakthrough invention and called it as the `call handoff` by which the channel frequency could be changed automatically from one cell to an additional one cell, during the same call, as the mobile user traveled from one cell to an additional one cell. Due to their heavy construction, these phones were used in general in automobiles.
The first practical cell phone in a non-vehicle setting, and which could be handheld, was invented by Martin Cooper, the general boss (Communications Division) of Motorola, who made the world`s first handheld cell phone (telefone celular) call on April 3, 1973.
The technology by which the cell phone (telefone celular) works depends on the mobile phone operator; however, all of them use electromagnetic radio waves, which are in touch with a cell site (base station). The base station is composed of any antennas which are mounted on a pole, tower, or building. Cell sites are spread at a length of 5 to 8 miles (approx. 8 to 13 km) from each other. The low power transceiver from the cell phone transmits the voice and data to the nearest cell site. during movement, the cell phone will "handoff" the data to other cell site. mobile phone operators use many technologies to declare the flat stream of digitized data from the cell phone to the cell site and vice versa.
The wireless telephone technologies are grouped under heads known as generations, beginning from zero generation or 0G. The current generation going on is 4G; however, there are old cell phones (telefone celular) that still control on 1G, 2G, and 3G technologies. The wireless telephone technologies used in each generation are as given below:
0G: Ptt, Mts, Imts, Amts, Olt, Mtd, Autotel/Palm, Arp
1G: Nmt, Amps/Tacs/Etacs, Hicap, Cdpd, Mobitex, DataTac
2G: Gsm, iDen, D-Amps, Is-95/cdmaOne, Pdc, Csd, Phs, Gprs, Hscsd, WiDen, Cdma2000 1xRtt/Is-2000, Edge (Egprs)
3G: W-Cdma, Umts (3Gsm), Foma, Td-Cdma/Umts-Tdd, 1xEv-Do/Is-856, Td-Scdma, Gan (Uma), Hspa, Hsdpa, Hsupa, Hspa+, Hsopa
4G : Umb, Umts revision 8 (Lte), WiMax
Frequency bands: Smr, Cellular, Pcs
The impact of cell phone (telefone celular) usage on human health has been of vital worldwide concern. Research studies in Copenhagen, from the Danish organize of Cancer Epidemiology, the National Cancer Institute, and the organize of Cancer Research, do not organize any link in the middle of cancer and cell phone usage. However, an intergovernmental division Iarc (International division for Research on Cancer) forming part of the World health organization of the United Nations, undertook a study of 4,500 users and found a statistically vital link in the middle of cell phone usage and tumor frequency. added Research is going on.
Cell phone (telefone celular) usage and driving is a tasteless worldwide phenomenon. Some jurisdictions have banned usage of hand-held phones during driving, but allowed the hands-free fashion of cell phone usage while driving. However, studies have found out that the distraction is caused by the conversation itself; hence, both hand-held and hands-free cell phones conduce towards road traffic accidents. added studies on cell phone usage and driving are going on.
Nokia Corporation is currently the world`s largest constructor of cell phones (telefone celular). Other supreme cell phone manufacturers, in alphabetical order, are 3G, Audiovox (now Ut Starcom), Benefon, BenQ-Siemens, Fujitsu, High Tech Computer Corporation (Htc), Kyocera, Lg Mobile, Motorola, Nec, Panasonic (Matsushita Electric), Pantech Curitel, Philips, Research In Motion, Sagem, Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp, Siemens, Sierra Wireless, Sk Teletech, Sony Ericsson, T&A Alcatel, Toshiba, and Verizon.
