Fixed Line VS Cellular Debate In today’s age the options we have for information transfer is more robust then ever. Countless bytes of data flow from place to place every second of every day. With that being said the two most common types of data transfer are either through fixed line networks or wireless networks. While both accomplish the same result the way they go about it, and therefore the strengths and weaknesses vary greatly. If we take a look at wireless we see that it’s greatest strength

Voice vs. Data Cell phones use both voice and data networks. Both of these networks can use the same antenna. Cellular networks allow automatic and persuasive use of mobile phones for voice and data communication even though you usely use a cell phone to talk on it, the new cell phone killer app is data. Landlines phones use both voice and data networks. They work by transmitting voice and data signals by copper wire. Landlines refer to a phone that uses a solid medium telephone line such as a
