In all seriousness, this is amazing, to think how quick how it takes to process your communication, not to mention how many people it caters for, actually amazing and something we take for granted
Yea it seems like magic to have the ability to speak to someone in another continent.
All at the speed of light
@@rji5377 thanks to fibre optic cables laid underground and under sea/ocean which literally use light to transmit data. Without fibre optic technology, data transmission of any kind wouldnt be this seamless and quick.

How on earth UA-cam couldn't recommend such a video 😢 i feel I'm too late for such an info
i am even more late
@@untakble same
Because you just watching sexy videos instead of like this useful informative videos😂
@@untakble same
Never to late to learn something new :-)
Learning is not hard; it is just our damn schools which makes it hard to understand. Thank you for the amazing demonstration
In school it's not about learning, it's about complexing simple things and act like this is a hard topic. For example we try to learn a 3 axis geometry shape on a 2 axis notebook.
👍
You just weren’t ready to learn it at that time
@@jessieleigh89 yep I feel the same way
You said it!
I retired from a phone company and this is very high level, but still one of the best explanations I've ever seen. Good job!
I know I'm three years late on this but maybe your background can help (I assume the 2,900 comments will prevent this from being seen by the poster).
The initial journey starts with the caller talking, and explains the path that the sound travels. Later in the video though, once this signal hits the home MSC, it seems like the phone call wasn't yet made and the MSC is first trying to find out details about the person being called. I'm assuming that the sound generally follows the same path as the dial, but I'm still curious if things are a bit more streamlined once the connection is established, or if the sounds still need to go through all the same hoops that the dial goes through.

Awesome job!! You did a great job at explaining so many rather complex concepts! I really liked the details about the MSCs and hexagonal cells. Keep up the great work.
Your video's are also knowledgable
It's still stupid. In my free time, I've drawn dozens of models of how phones communicate. This is nowhere near what I expected. After all of this research in technology, this is what they come up with? I hope that one day I would make this better...

Very interesting video tho kinda basic as a few parts of the system are missing
With regards to the MSC they are becoming outdated now thanks to fiber being rolled out pretty much everywhere
But let's say within the 3G days and let's just stick to one network only for now the system consists of tower MSC a sub system and central system
The sub system is generally what does most of the work and it's where multiple MSCs are linked and generally where customers who are logged onto the network is stored
The MSC controls the BTS towers several of them in a given area and the MSC is responsible for dealing with the handover between towers within its area of responsibility and the MSC updates a database at the Sub system so the system knows where your phone is at all times
The sub system as mentioned is where all MSCs link to usually a sub system is within a large city somewhere and usually within a network there is multiple subsystems that are linked before they are linked to a central system usually the networks head office in most cases sub systems double up as data centers as well
But the sub system is responsible for handing over calls to another MSC within the sub systems area of responsibility or route it to another sub system
As for data as mentioned in the video sensitive data such as customer name address and subscription are NOT stored at MSC or Sub system it's only stored on Central
Only data that is stored is usually on sub system and MSC some networks can even store it at the tower but the main database is at sun system and this data consists of mobile number and the SIM cards for example sake serial number and also it notes the phones IMEI these details are held so the system knows where each phone is logged on to the network so it knows where to send texts and calls or if you are a criminal police can find you hehe and it record's IMEI mostly for blocking it from the network should your phone gets stolen
To make a call to another mobile network or landline then the sub system will route the call to that network and make connections if international calling it is usually routed to central before pipping out to whatever line required
But that's olden days tech with Fiber it's cheaper and faster to cut out the MSC networks started to link the towers directly to the Sub system and sub system usually becomes a data center also again to save running costs
My mobile network I know where their sub system is where all the MSCs are linked I got a tour of the place bloody huge building one corner of the building outside has a huge tower with all the microwave transceivers that linked all the MSCs now obsolete
I cant believe this long process happens within seconds
Humans have to evolve for such reasons ❤
Remember learning this 15 years ago as part of an MSc in Telecommunications :) Cell towers are also called base stations and the professor (lovely gentleman) who taught this course pronounced it base-is-station ... in a 90 min lecture that is a lot of base-is-stations -- and thanks to that I never forgot the lecture ...brings back fond memories :)
This is amazing. We take this for granted but look how complicated it is. This is miracle to me.
Amazing that all this happens in a second.
Because electromagnetic waves speed in air is approximately 0.3 million kilometers per second
not in a seconds, microseconds
Not in seconds ...... Within nano seconds
@@poojabonda7593 not in nano seconds..... in Picoseconds
Yeah cuz electromagnetic waves matter..
I thought my phone bill is expensive and after watching this now I feel like I don't pay much.
ua-cam.com/video/pcp8bpfHsAg/v-deo.html
Well they do have the benefit of scale. Basically everyone has a phone and in the US there are only like 4 major providers. They have a ton of money to spend on infrastructure and a very secure and stable revenue stream
This video explained better than my bachelor’s degree in the IT.... honestly, after the graduation, I was still very clueless about all this information traveling functionality but this video explained everything for me
You need a refund lol
Damn. This was really informative! These kids today could probably pass a college exam on UA-cam rather than using all those expensive ass books!
Brother these were also taken from books or any researches you should say the ass schools and colleges 🤘🤘
This is just basics, there is a lot of theory behind signals, you can't pass any exams with the vedeo. It's a great vedeo though.
Not an engineering exam. U can still get the books for free tho so ur point still stands. The only thing i can ssy schools sre good for is recommending which books to read out of the millions that are available
@@sthandiwe7825 True ... but university prescribed textbooks are still one of the worst ways to learn a concept
@@sthandiwe7825 u can find a lot of videos about signals and modulations on ytb to
you missed out the part where NSA intercepts the call.
Hahhahaha
😂😂😂💀
How does they interrupt?
Why are u even watching this if u know everything😂
@@GurleenBatra- I found out today angel of heaven also plays UA-cam
Lets spend a minute to respect and appreciate the people who have done tremendous amount of work to provide such a miraculous technology..🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are representing Overthinkers Association 👍
Right?! How did they even conceive this idea.
@@seang81 This explains why this technology is making people stupid and lazy!
This whole thing is crazy when you think about it. The processing and transmission with so little lag is just crazy. Nothing short of magic

Hell YEAH!!!!!
We must thank such a person who has made this animation
Thanks bro 😀

Crazy that most of us never stop to think about or try learning how phones function yet we spend the majority of our time using it. Fascinating & somewhat terrifying at the same time… also the dude driving off in the motorcycle made me chuckle 😂
*That woman at the beginning scared me*
_Bob McCoy you find a chick with a bad comb over scary?...yeah, me too...
Hey! Don't talk about Emma like that!!
That thing... It scares me.
She looks like a character from one of the adult games on patreon.
She has no soul and that scares me
First time ever i found a channel on which i can really learn things. The real engineering. How ever concepts are very clear but not at it's base for which books are required.
But you guys are really good at it.
Keep it up guys.
I'm eagerly waiting for other videos as I'm gonna download all of the videos with in 2-3 days.
Thanks for your efforts.

HONESTY
I agree.... In schools, and online we had tons of lengthy pages to learn these technologies, spent so much of time but still confuses and hard to understand. This video is awesome, It explained the mobile technology so beautifully
I first thought the video was going to be bad because of the bad animation, but this is really the best and most detailed video I can find on the subject.
Finally! it seems like, the importance of engineering studies reflects on new era of our favorite smartphone communication😃
No engineers will still be rickshaw pullers 😂😂

we enjoy these advancements because of those persons, engineers who has a BRILLIANT MIND, salute to them
This is so cool.i did'nt knew any of it till this time.Great demonstration.
This is one of the best explanations on this topic I have ever encountered. Thank you for this!
I have been looking for video on this topic for many years, now I have got it.
Thanks.
Everytime something is converted into 1s and 0s, or vice versa, my brain hurts trying to imagine how quickly this happens and how accurate it is, especially when it comes to really complex stuff. Then to think currently there are tens of billions of transistors in a single IC... holy sh*t. The engineers behind these are the true geniuses of the world.
Why I find this channel too late 😭 .. it's deserve million of subscribers ..the way he explained all things with examples ..man I am your big fan 🙏....
He explains it better than all of my teachers. not even kidding. You got yourself a new subscriber
too good! never understood all these things during my college exam days!
This day we learn more from internet then in school, thanks for the knowledge
man searching this for like 2 years
thanks for making video on this
Thank you for such a specific and elaborate explanation. This is the only video that answered all my questions in one!
i like this concepts of explaining, THANK YOU!
Check how long it takes to explain this & yet in reality all this happens in a blink of an eye without even noticing 🤣🤣🤣
Kinda like thinking a thought. It takes a few microseconds to process a thought, but a good amount of time to justify it and explain the reasoning behind it (like for example solving a physics problem).
@@VivekYadav-ds8oz For me Solving a Physics problem will take an hour or so...😂😂😂😂
@@SOFTWAREMASTER Depends on what kinda problem you're solving.. I'd easily eat up whole day on a single problem for some problems and brush some off as too "low-class" (or repetitive) for me to even consider solving. So yeah it depends :)
FDMA Or TDMA is very important
Well this technology took 50-100 years to perfect it so...
I think the explanation is absolutely great but it takes more than a video to understand something complex so that I can close to explain things as flawlessly as you do.
I came here to understand how my voice goes into the phone and out of someone else's phone. And I learned that. But I also got to learn all of the interconnectedness of that, and then another question of what the generations were.
Thank you for this video it was very informative and I feel that I will be a wiser phone user in the future
Superb job man. These are very good for understanding concepts in my physics classes. Keep up the good work.
Yes.Its true ❤
The brains behind converting voice to 1 and 0 then convert to sound wave is really amazing...
What about those who invented zero
@@abhijitmoholakar8217they are amazing and funny.
Freddie Capillan i too find technology like the internet amazing, a web of cables that transfers shitloads of data constantlu around the world.
amzing and funny it’s nothing to do with zero, the binary concept is about on/off state and the combinations of those states which carry the information. We just found the way to code and de-code the information that way.
There is nothing to do with actual numbers
The same conversion of 1 and 0 to analogue and back is also how CDs DVDs and ipods work. It is indeed incredible and is a whole subject in itself.
I had vaguely known about how a cellular phone technology works. This video shed lights in the dark corners. Many thanks for enlightening me.
Great Video. Thanks. Will Have to Watch again.
This is wonderful way of teaching & taking a lecture in our polytechnic college. Thanks
A lot of algorithms. LOL 😂. Thanks man. Indeed you’re gifted teacher 👨🏫
Pretty intense stuff. Hard to believe humans were capable of such technical knowledge and understanding ...
This is the way I like to learn about the technology .....we can't see the signal flow ,only we can imagine but the presentation like this bring the real flow in front of us.thanks
This video was really helpful please do a longer more detailed version of it explaining core and access networks and do separate videos for every generation of the five generations, your work is very appreciated
They used to tell us it was satellites out in space? When there is no such thing it's all lies.
Clean and clear explanation...
Well prepared
Good job
I'm learning this during this semester and UA-cam decided to recommend it😮Awesome!
Awesome Job! The ease at which you simplified complex concept is commendable.
3:10 oh hey just here calling from the Barcelona Pavilion
The best UA-cam channel. I hope that you'll gain high views
this was a quick and efficient revision for my 8th semester subject Mobile computing. Working with routers and switches professionally as a Network Engineer had me losing my grip on the subject. Thanks for the video!
Learned more than I ever did from this video than I did from my 4 years in school
That was very informative.thank you so much!
very easily explained...thnk u soo much guys....keep it up👍👍👍👍👍
All of your explaination in this Clip has been illustrated really comprehensive, thank you .
It’s great to use my mobile phone to learn how mobile phones work.
Beautifully explained, Thanks a lot.
I think that is the perfect way to explain some difficult topic 😉
I love it 😍
R.I.P. all those genuines who eased our lives with their inventions. These are just so masteric, magical inventions
videos like this are so helpful to easily understand and have memorable things with what is intentionally delivered
I thought, fiber optic cables are almost obsolete nowadays and satellites play a big role in wireless communication. This video is very informative!!!
*_🎄🎄The splendor of the projects is happy and waiting for more🎅🎅_*
i am an IT student this video was very helpful for my telecommunications course, please keep up the excellent good work
omg!!!!! your explanation can be understood by a toddler also. thanks a ton!!!continue making many more such informative videos................I had taken up a course on Coursera but cldnt really understand a few things but these series make things so cool n easy
you guys are doing a great job , by making amazing animation videos
Now I know how Google tracks my locations offline.

The total system tracks your location to improve performance and quality. It has nothing to do with spying. If it didn't do this, service would not be as good.
WoW!!!! What a way to present it!!! Maybe this this one of the best educational youtube video I have ever seen. Thank you.
Best explanation
Something inside me told me to search “what is a phone” and watch the third video, and even to read the 5th comment. Lmao😂
Simple explanation ; great understanding
U hv thought us which v nvr knew....million thanks 😊
I’m British watching this video parked on the edge of a cliff in Morocco. Thanks home msc
Colleges only providing theories but you creating interest
Thank you keep going.
Currently i am not in condition to help your channel.
But dont worry , I will be soon
@Kevin Prima All of this won't be possible without the college you are criticizing.
A great video on cellular radio. I have questions about necessary equipment to provide additional spectrum for increased service demand. I'm curious about how cell companies can add equipment so seemingly easily in such short order. I've been reading about how AT&T and T-Mobile are going to be using spectrum loaned by other spectrum holders - so that demand for data precipitated by Coronavirus concerns can be met. How do they do this so rapidly?
Great video.
Now I have an idea how my cell phone works.
Thank Guys !!!
Absolutely superb explaination sir..wish all our teachers be like u,who so effortlessly explains a complex topic
I don't think it's too complex. But I still have no clue how EM waves behave, if they're at all different from light/radiation, or how they're magically manipulated to have certain frequencies or amplitudes. But past that, it seems all that's left is optimization.
This video is sure to cross 1M views easily.
Best teacher ever ...😍😍.. i had studied mobile computing but never understood what is cellular technology , msc n all. But now everything is clear
..
What are you doing these days
Very Useful ❤️
Thanks a lot 🤝
i think this channel is the best thing on the internet
Thanks Learn engineering
Pls also explain optical fiber technology and satellite internet
there is no satellite lol
Satellites were missed out for clarity. They are only involved for long distances, around the world, or across a continent.
All I know is I call up T-Mobile and scream at them. That somehow makes it work.
hahahahahahaha

This video provides a great overview of how our mobile phones work, from the transmission and reception of signals to the role of cell towers and the Internet. The presenter does an excellent job of breaking down the technical jargon into easy-to-understand concepts, making it accessible for viewers with varying levels of technical knowledge. The video also touches on the different generations of mobile networks and their evolution over time. Overall, this is a very informative and educational video for anyone curious about the technology behind their mobile phones. It definitely left me with a greater appreciation for the engineering and science that goes into making these devices work!
