While the technicalities of cellular data technology may be a bit difficult to memorize, the overall concept of how it works is easy to understand. To enable a wireless connection, cellular data technology lets it communicate with other devices through certain radio frequencies. The data you send or receive through a mobile network is transmitted to or from a central hub or station known as cells. One cell covers certain geographical areas, and these cells overlap to effectively transmit your data and have a wider reach. Ultimately, as long as your mobile network carrier has cell towers that cover a certain area, cellular data remains to be available to you. The world has been using cellular data network technology for decades now, and there are no signs that it’ll stop soon. As simple cellular phones evolved to today’s smartphones, and as our needs changed from simple calls and texts to connecting to the internet, cellular network technology has managed to adapt.
