A mobile phone (also called mobile, cellular phone, cell phone, or hand phone) is an electronic device used for full duplex two-way radio telecommunications over a cellular network of base stations known as cell sites. Mobile phones are sure to differ from cordless telephones, which only offer telephone service within limited range through a single base station attached to a fixed landline, for example, within a home or an office.
Radiophones have a long and varied history. It goes back to Reginald Fessenden’s invention and shore-to-ship demonstration of radio telephony through the Second World War with military use of radio telephony links and civil services in the 1950s.
In 1960 the world’s first partly automatic car phone system, Mobile System A (MTA) was launched in Sweden. MTA phones were composed of vacuum tubes and relays, and had a weight of 40 kg. In 1962 a more modern version called Mobile System В (MTB) was launched. It was a push-button telephone, which used transistors in order to enhance the telephone’s calling capacity and improve its operational reliability. In 1971 the MTD version was launched, opening for several different brands of equipment and gaining commercial success.
The first commercially automated cellular network (the 1G — first generation) was launched in Japan in 1979. Within five years the network had been expanded to cover the whole population of Japan and became the first nation-wide 1G network. This was followed by the simultaneous launch of the Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) system in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. NMT appeared to be the first mobile phone network featuring international roaming. The first network technology on digital 2G (second generation) cellular technology appeared in Finland on the GSM standard. One of the newest 3G technologies to be implemented is mobile telephony communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) family. It allows networks based on Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity.

Uses of radio
Today, radio takes many forms, including wireless networks, mobile communications of all types, as well as radio broadcasting. Aviation voice radios use VHF AM. Aircraft fly high enough that their transmitters can be received hundreds of miles away, even though they are using VHF. Marine voice radios can use AM in the shortwave High Frequency—3 MHz to 30 MHz. Government, police, fire and commercial voice services use narrowband FM on special frequencies. Civil and military HF (high frequency) voice services use shortwave radio to contact ships at sea, aircraft and isolated settlements.
Mobile phones transmit to a local cell site that ultimately connects to the public switched telephone network through an optic fiber or microwave radio and other network elements. When the mobile phone nears the edge of the cell site's radio coverage area, the central computer switches the phone to a new cell. Cell phones originally used FM, but now most use various digital modulation schemes. Satellite phones come in two types: INMARSAT and Iridium. Both types provide world-wide coverage. INMARSAT uses geosynchronous satellites, with aimed high-gain antennas on the vehicles. Iridium uses 66 Low Earth Orbit satellites as the cells.
Television sends the picture as AM and the sound as FM, with the sound carrier at fixed frequency (4.5 MHz in the NTSC system) away from the video carrier. Analog television also uses a vestigial sideband on the video carrier to reduce the bandwidth required.
Radio remote control use radio waves to transmit control data to a remote object as in some early forms of guided missile, some early TV remotes and a range of model boats, cars and airplanes. Large industrial remote-controlled equipment such as cranes and switching locomotives now usually use digital radio techniques to ensure safety and reliability.
