How does your mobile phone work? | ICT #1
For most of us, a mobile phone is a part of our lives, but I am sure your curious minds have always been struck by such questions as to how a mobile phone makes a call, and why there are different generations of mobile communications. Let’s explore the technology behind mobile communications.

In all seriousness, this is amazing, to think how quick how it takes to process your communication, not to mention how many people it caters for, actually amazing and something we take for granted

I know I'm three years late on this but maybe your background can help (I assume the 2,900 comments will prevent this from being seen by the poster). The initial journey starts with the caller talking, and explains the path that the sound travels. Later in the video though, once this signal hits the home MSC, it seems like the phone call wasn't yet made and the MSC is first trying to find out details about the person being called. I'm assuming that the sound generally follows the same path as the dial, but I'm still curious if things are a bit more streamlined once the connection is established, or if the sounds still need to go through all the same hoops that the dial goes through.
Awesome job!! You did a great job at explaining so many rather complex concepts! I really liked the details about the MSCs and hexagonal cells. Keep up the great work.

Very interesting video tho kinda basic as a few parts of the system are missing With regards to the MSC they are becoming outdated now thanks to fiber being rolled out pretty much everywhere But let's say within the 3G days and let's just stick to one network only for now the system consists of tower MSC a sub system and central system The sub system is generally what does most of the work and it's where multiple MSCs are linked and generally where customers who are logged onto the network is stored The MSC controls the BTS towers several of them in a given area and the MSC is responsible for dealing with the handover between towers within its area of responsibility and the MSC updates a database at the Sub system so the system knows where your phone is at all times The sub system as mentioned is where all MSCs link to usually a sub system is within a large city somewhere and usually within a network there is multiple subsystems that are linked before they are linked to a central system usually the networks head office in most cases sub systems double up as data centers as well But the sub system is responsible for handing over calls to another MSC within the sub systems area of responsibility or route it to another sub system As for data as mentioned in the video sensitive data such as customer name address and subscription are NOT stored at MSC or Sub system it's only stored on Central Only data that is stored is usually on sub system and MSC some networks can even store it at the tower but the main database is at sun system and this data consists of mobile number and the SIM cards for example sake serial number and also it notes the phones IMEI these details are held so the system knows where each phone is logged on to the network so it knows where to send texts and calls or if you are a criminal police can find you hehe and it record's IMEI mostly for blocking it from the network should your phone gets stolen To make a call to another mobile network or landline then the sub system will route the call to that network and make connections if international calling it is usually routed to central before pipping out to whatever line required But that's olden days tech with Fiber it's cheaper and faster to cut out the MSC networks started to link the towers directly to the Sub system and sub system usually becomes a data center also again to save running costs My mobile network I know where their sub system is where all the MSCs are linked I got a tour of the place bloody huge building one corner of the building outside has a huge tower with all the microwave transceivers that linked all the MSCs now obsolete
Remember learning this 15 years ago as part of an MSc in Telecommunications :) Cell towers are also called base stations and the professor (lovely gentleman) who taught this course pronounced it base-is-station ... in a 90 min lecture that is a lot of base-is-stations -- and thanks to that I never forgot the lecture ...brings back fond memories :)
I thought my phone bill is expensive and after watching this now I feel like I don't pay much.

A great video on cellular radio. I have questions about necessary equipment to provide additional spectrum for increased service demand. I'm curious about how cell companies can add equipment so seemingly easily in such short order. I've been reading about how AT&T and T-Mobile are going to be using spectrum loaned by other spectrum holders - so that demand for data precipitated by Coronavirus concerns can be met. How do they do this so rapidly?
videos like this are so helpful to easily understand and have memorable things with what is intentionally delivered

I don't think it's too complex. But I still have no clue how EM waves behave, if they're at all different from light/radiation, or how they're magically manipulated to have certain frequencies or amplitudes. But past that, it seems all that's left is optimization.
you guys are doing a great job , by making amazing animation videos

Finished Telecommunications highschool degree 2 years ago and this video basically sums up few lectures we had in last year There is much more details that this video didnt cover, such as how A/D D/A coversion works, different types of antennas, levels of satellite transfers, microphone principe of working, why u cant make call in basement, why towers 🗼 are always on high attitude eg. hill but that's all for another video.. this video seems complex but it covered the basics Good animations!👍
Wow, what a great video, simple and very clear technical explanation. Thanks for this video.

This video provides a great overview of how our mobile phones work, from the transmission and reception of signals to the role of cell towers and the Internet. The presenter does an excellent job of breaking down the technical jargon into easy-to-understand concepts, making it accessible for viewers with varying levels of technical knowledge. The video also touches on the different generations of mobile networks and their evolution over time. Overall, this is a very informative and educational video for anyone curious about the technology behind their mobile phones. It definitely left me with a greater appreciation for the engineering and science that goes into making these devices work!
