Cellular technology is well embedded in today's society. Cellular telecommunications has provided the means for people to communicate anywhere, and any time for private and for business. A cell phone is now owned by three out of four people in the world. Considering the time they have been available, the take-up of cellular telecommunications has been phenomenal.

With technologies ranging from GSM, GPRS, EDGE to UMTS or W-CDMA and cdmaOne (IS-95) to CDMA2000 1X, EV-DO and EV-DV and mobile TV technologies such as MediaFLO, DMB, and DVB-H, there are plenty of technologies in use.
