How do cell towers work

Cell phones have an in-built antenna which is used to send packets of digital information back and forth with cell-phone towers via radio waves. Mobile phones connect to a cell tower in the area, and instead of connecting to another phone it connects to the Internet and can fetch or retrieve data.

A typical cellphone has enough power to reach a cell tower up to 45 miles away. Depending on the technology of the cellphone network, the maximum distance may be as low as 22 miles because the signal otherwise takes too long for the highly accurate timing of the cellphone protocol to work reliably.

People in the area experience sleep disorders, fatigue, headache, memory loss, depression, hearing problems, joint pains, skin diseases, and even cardiovascular problems . Mobile phones emit radiation too but they are smaller in intensity while mobile towers generate higher intensity of radiation 24 hours.

Cell phones communicate with nearby cell towers mainly through RF waves , a form of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum between FM radio waves and microwaves. Like FM radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and heat, they are forms of non-ionizing radiation.
