Topic 2
Mobile Devices
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the topic, you will:
a. be able to identify the significant change of mobile devices according its
contribution in communication industry
b. describe the impact of mobile devices to daily life of an ordinary citizen
c. be able to illustrate a timeline of mobile phones as presentation of its evolution
INTRODUCTION
Along with the significant change of technology, people also adopted and
changed the ways how they carry out tasks, seek information, and how they exchange this
information with other people. Distance is no longer a limitation, and so is time.
People have become so mobile in doing different tasks at different times of the
day and in different places, the need for technology to support this very active movement
aroused. With the creation of more mobile devices over time, it has become an ultimate
necessity since it enabled people to do things without thinking much of proximity and
time.
In this lesson, you will learn about mobile devices’ history and trends. On how
these devices helped people in accomplishing daily tasks, enjoyed recreation, and
improving communication.
DISCUSSION
Evolution of Mobile Devices
1940. In the year 1940s mobile phones were invented by AT&T engineers. It was a
two-way radio that allowed people to communicate.
1946. The first calls were made on a car radiotelephone in Chicago with a small number
of radio frequencies available.

1956. The first automated mobile phone system for private vehicles launched in Sweden.
The device to install in the car used vacuum tube technology with a
rotary dial and weighed 40kg.
1973. On April 3, 1973, Motorola was the first company to mass-produce the first
handheld mobile phone that weighed 1.1kg.
1985. Motorola Dynatac 8000X - Known in the industry as 'the brick' and visible in many
scenes of the 1987 movie Wall Street. The Motorola Dynatac 800X was the first handheld
mobile phone and was loudly announced as the beginning of a new era.
1987. Based on digital technology, the technical specifications for the GSM standard
were approved. It focused on interoperability across national boundaries and consequent
different frequency bands, call quality, and low costs.
1992. Nokia 1011 - The world’s first mass-produced phone that used the new GSM digital
standard, the Nokia 1011. Specs included a monochrome LCD screen, extendable antenna,
and a memory capable of storing 99 phone numbers.
1996. Motorola StarTAC - The most expensive and desirable phone on the market at the
time of its release, the StarTac debuted the clamshell design and was
the lightest and smallest phone on the market. It was also the first
phone to be openly marketed as a luxury item..
1997. The Hagenuk GlobalHandy - This little-known German-made and impractically

minimal handset was the first phone that has no visible external antenna.
1998. Siemens S10 - The first phone with a color screen, Siemens’ S10 was a landmark
device by any yardstick. Although its uninspiring design and tiny 97 x 54-pixel display failed
to set the world on fire, it more than merits a place in the annals of mobile phone history..
1998. Nokia 5110

22
2nd Sem SY2020-2021
1999. Nokia 7110 - Another first for the Finnish phone-maker, the 7110 was the first
handset to feature a WAP browser. That meant it was capable of
browsing the internet. Or at least a stripped-down and incredibly
slow version of it that was of little use to most people. However, it
was a big step towards the multi-functionality that has become a
core of today’s smartphones.
1999. Motorola Timeport – This was the first tri-band GSM phone, meaning it worked
everywhere around the world. A must-have for self-proclaimed
citizens of the world. And the hordes of Gen X-ers heading to Asia
on the backpacker trail
2000: Nokia 9210 Communicator - The first serious attempt at an internet-enabled

mobile phone. It weighed around 400g and had 8MB of storage
and a full keyboard. This phone can be a personal organizer, as
well as a web browser and email support
2000. Sharp J-SH04 - The first commercially available camera

phone. This phone had a camera resolution of 0.11MP.
2000. Nokia 3310 - Legendarily sturdy, the 3310 was the phone that launched a thousand
memes. And with 126 million units shifted, stands as one of the
biggest-selling phone of all time. The battery lasted for days and it was
light and truly pocketable at only 133g. It also introduced the Snake
game, customizable ringtones and a silent 'vibrate' mode.
2003. Nokia 1100 - The Nokia 1100 was launched as a basic phone for developing-world
countries back in 2003.

23
2nd Sem SY2020-2021
2004. Motorola Razr V3 – The last great flip phone, the Razr was impossibly thin at only
14mm. Unusually for the time, it also had an aluminium casing that
looked achingly slick.

Global Positioning System (GPS) and Assisted-GPS
• Global Positioning System is a satellite-based navigation system made up of 24

satellites placed into orbits.
• The first satellite was launched in 1978.
• In the year 1980, the government made the system available for civilian use.
• GPS works in any weather condition, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day.
• The 24 satellites are orbiting the earth about 12000 miles above us.
• L1 and L2 are 2 frequencies of low radio power signals that the GPS transmit.
How GPS works?

• GPS satellites circle around the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and
transmits signal information to earth.
• The GPS receiver takes the information and use to calculate the user’s exact
location.
• The receiver can determine the user’s exact location and display it on the unit’s
electronic map.
Causes of Error of GPS:

• Signal Reflection: The signal hits and is reflected off objects like tall buildings,
rocks, etc.
• Satellite Shading: For the signal works properly, have to be placed at wide angle
from each other.
• Clock error: The built-in clock of the GPS receiver is not as accurate as the atomic
clocks of the satellites and the timing of the satellites and the timing error leads to
corresponding error in calculations.

• The wireless is defined in dictionary as “HAVING NO WIRES”.

• In networking terminology, wireless is the term defined as to describe any
computer network where there is no “physical connection” between sender and
receiver.
• In wireless, networks are connected by “radio waves” or “micro waves” to
maintain communication between sender and receiver.
