Sig Computing Topic: Cell Phone Basics
Presented by Francis Chao
Your iPhone or Android mobile phone is actually 6 separate radio
transmitter-receivers in a very compact device. If you get a working understanding of the details of these 6 transmitter-receivers, you can make better use of your mobile phone and save money:
o 6 transmitter-receivers in an iPhone or Android cell phone:
Cellular transceiver,
Wi-Fi transceiver, Global navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) receiver = GPS, etc.),
Bluetooth transceiver,
Near-field Communication (NFC)
and
FM radio receiver
o Not having a data plan so that Wi-Fi is the cell phone’s only Internet connection
o Having a data plan but using mainly Wi-Fi for the cell phone’s Internet access
o Various apps use different combinations of the 6 transmitter-receivers
o Use the “MyGPSCoordinates” and/or “GPS Status” apps to get your
latitude/longitude location from the GNSS receiver
o “Cellular 911”
o 3G shutdown
o Cell phone tracking
