Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cells in a cellular telephone system can range from one-half mile to 50 miles in radius. The size of the cell depends on several factors like population density, terrain, frequency availability, and capacity of the base stations. In rural areas, where the population density is low, the cells can be larger, whereas in urban areas, the cells are smaller to accommodate a large number of users. Therefore, option C) 50 is the best choice. Options A) 25, B) 35, and D) 70 are not correct as they are either too small or too large to be practical in a cellular telephone system.
