What is the difference between Analog and Digital signal?
Analog cellular is the oldest technology used for cellular calls. It uses a band of frequencies around 800MHz. Analog transmits calls over continuously variable radio waves, similar to FM radio. Analog service is available in 90 to 95% of North America. Call quality is fair to good. Occasionally callers will experience “fast busy“ signals if the network is too busy to handle the volume of calls, some static, or even dropped calls. Analog provides limited data services. Digital cellular network standards are CDMA (code division multiple access), TDMA (time division multiple access), and GSM (global system for mobile communications), which use a band of frequencies around 800 & 1900 MHz. Voices are converted to digital 1`s and 0`s for transmission, then converted back to voices at the receiving end. Digital coverage is increasing across Canada and will eventually equal analog coverage. Call quality is improved over analog with less static. The network is able to increase the capacity w
