When you turn your cell phone on, your device is recognized by a “tower” and broadcasts its presence. The “towers” are set just as far apart so that you are ideally communicating with one at all times. When a call comes in, the system pages your phone through the nearest “tower,” which contains an antenna. A determination is quickly made regarding which channel on the network that the “tower” sets forth to place your call on. When you leave the parameters of a “tower” you call is not dropped, but instead placed on another channel from another “tower.”
