What are Base Station in Telecommunications?
A base station connects your phone to the network. It acts as a hub between mobile devices and the core system.
In radio communications, a base station is a wireless communications station installed at a fixed location and used to communicate as part of one of the following: a wireless telephone system such as cellular CDMA or GSM cell site. Base stations use RF power amplifiers (radio-frequency power amplifiers) to transmit and receive signals.
In professional two-way radio systems, a base station is used to maintain contact with a dispatch fleet of hand-held or mobile radios, and/or to activate one-way paging receivers. The base station is one end of a communications link. The other end is a movable vehicle-mounted radio or walkie-talkie.
Power interruption is a significant contributor to communication base station functional failure. Communication systems closely rely on power systems, and power outages can result in widespread station interruptions. In the case of the earthquake in Changning County, 90% of disrupted base stations experienced power interruptions as the cause .
