When my cell call goes from my phone to the tower, where does it go from there? Does it hit the normal landline routes, or does it stay cellular, go satellite, or what? Walked out of the gunstore today and was looking atthe cell tower setup, just kinda tech curious. tia |
| Cell towers are connected via dedicated trunk lines or microwave links to a central switching center that controls that companies' cell system in that area. Then out on trunk lines to the regular phone network (typically long distance trunks). Incoming calls are more complicated. |
couldn't have said it better. this is pretty much spot on. |
