¿Cómo funcionan los teléfonos móviles?

The video explains the evolution of communication technology from the 19th century to modern mobile telephony. It describes how sound is converted into electrical signals and transmitted through cables in fixed lines, and how mobile phones use microwaves to transmit signals wirelessly. The video covers the properties of microwaves, their advantages in carrying more information, and the challenges posed by their shorter wavelengths. It also explains the role of base stations in managing mobile communication and the process of signal conversion in the network.

What was the significant advancement in communication during the 19th century?
