A network is a collection of computers connected together that allows the computers to share information and resources. There are many different kinds of networks. The two most common are LANs (Local Area Network) and WANs (Wide Area Network). (Bishop 2) Networks can be connected to other networks, which allows them to exchange information with each other. One reason the Internet grew so rapidly (before it became popular) is that colleges would connect their individual LANs together to share information. There are five building blocks to networks. Terminals, transmission links, nodes and switches, transmission methods and procedures, and architecture and standards. (Bishop 1) These all combine to form a uniform easily accessible interface that allows communications to take place in a transparent manner.

Calls to or from a mobile phone get to their destination via antenna located on buildings or masts. Each antenna (usually a group of antenna) is at the centre of what is known as a cell. A group of cells makes up a network. Because the power output from the mobile phones and antenna is relatively low, to communicate over anything but the smallest distances, a call has to be passed from one cell to the next until the signal gets to the intended receiver. Each cell overlaps with the neighbouring cell in the 'network' to allow calls to be passed on.

For the most part these are the mobile phone companies such as Orange, O2 and Vodafone.
