calls into Radio frequencies (RF)
How mobile communication is done?
Mobile phone base stations transmit and receive these RF signals
and connect callers to other phones and other networks

1G refers to the first generation of wireless telephone technology
(mobile telecommunications)
These are the analog
telecommunications standards
