Cell mobility

Abstract

Nowadays the term “mobility” is recurrent in our vocabulary. Used in different ways, this term became a very celebrated quality, desired and positive, largely due to its association with the mobile communication technologies, particularly, the cellular networks technology. The present paper intends to show what forms of mobility are produced by this technology, exploiting its operation's logic and its evolutionary line. Therefore the purpose here is to explore the mobile communication network’s technicalities and check the forms of mobility as manifested through their mobile devices (cell phones): these objects that articulate communication and movement and that are moreover in a continuous process of change and adaptation.
