subsidiary of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT). Its main focus is to
handle the PLDT Group's wireless services business. It operates a nationwide cellular network
covering over 99 percent of the population. On April 20, 2008, Smart updated its logo, changing
with the new, shortened letter "S", stylized versions of letters "A" & "T", and a new line below
the logo.
On June 30, 2007, Smart reported that its GSM network consisted of 100 switches and
100,000 base stations, over 2 of which are equipped with wireless broadband capability. It also
has over 23 3G base stations nationwide. On December 31, 2009, it reported that it has
41,328,641 subscribers on its Smart EDGE/UMTS and Red Mobile GSM networks, which
includes Talk 'N Text subscribers that were transferred from Piltel.

Sun Cellular gained popularity because of its "24/7" offer of unlimited text messaging
and calls for a fixed price for Sun-to-Sun transactions. This led competing networks
Smart Communications and Globe Telecom to offer similar but higher-cost plans.
In 1928, Congress passed Act No. 3495 granting the Robert Dollar Company, a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, a franchise to
operate wireless long distance message services in the Philippines. The Robert Dollar Company
subsequently incorporated in the Philippines as Globe Wireless Limited and in 1934, Congress
passed Act No. 4150 transferring the franchise and privileges of the Robert Dollar Company to
Globe Mackay Cable and Radio Corporation. Congress, through Republic Act 4630 enacted in
1965, further expanded its franchise to allow it to operate international communications systems.
Globe Mackay Cable and Radio Corporation was closed in the Philippines by Martial law.
Shortly before the expiration of its franchise, the Batasan Pambansa in 1980 enacted Batas
Pambansa 95 granting Globe Mackay Cable and Radio Corporation a new franchise.

Sun Cellular
Raissa Anne S. Bola, former CEO of Sun Cellular. According to him. Before Sun
entered the market, the competing giants Globe and Smart had been running smoothly
and its competing for the same price of service, while the lowest-cost providers namely
the Philippines that first introduced the UNLIMITED Call and TEXT in the market. This
strategy boosted the company into its success today. But this wasn’t the case back on its
beginnings, the Cellular Mobile Philippine Phone, Sun isn’t even in the middle of its
success today.

When Sun Cellular entered the scene the two giants did not feel threatened by
the newcomer. Sun was left behind and needed of a plan to lure more subscribers to
their network. This became the origin of the UNLIMITED pricing scheme. Sun used
this strategy to lure customer, and sure enough, the population grew each week. Globe
and Smart, who was caught unaware with this powerful strategy, were forced to follow.
Suns, today is providing the best offers and services for it’s subscribers, Sun Cellular is

RELATED STUDIES
cellular network is a radio network made up of a number of radio cells (or just cells)
each served by a fixed transmitter, known as a cell site or base station. These cells are used to
cover different areas in order to provide radio coverage over a wider area than the area of one
cell. Cellular networks are inherently asymmetric with a set of fixed main transceivers each
serving a cell and a set of distributed (generally, but not always, mobile) transceivers which

increased capacity
reduced power usage
better coverage
A good (and simple) example of a cellular system is an old taxi driver's radio system where the
taxi company will have several transmitters based around a city each operated by an individual
operator.
General characteristics
The primary requirement for a network to succeed as a cellular network is for it to have
developed a standardized method for each distributed station to distinguish the signal emanating
from its own transmitter from the signals received from other transmitters. Presently, there are
two standardized solutions to this issue: · frequency division multiple access (FDMA) and; ·
code
In the case of the aforementioned taxi company, each radio has a knob. The knob acts as
a channel selector and allows the radio to tune to different frequencies. As the drivers move
around, they change from channel to channel. The drivers know which frequency covers
approximately what area. When they don't get a signal from the transmitter, they also try other
channels until they find one which works. The taxi drivers only speak one at a time, as invited by
_____________________________________________________________
Practically every cellular system has some kind of broadcast mechanism. This can be
used directly for distributing information to multiple mobiles, commonly, for example in mobile
telephony systems, the most important use of broadcast information is to set up channels for one
to one communication between the mobile transreceiver and the base station. This is called
paging.
The details of the process of paging vary somewhat from network to network, but
normally we know a limited number of cells where the phone is located (this group of cells is
called a Location Area in the GSM or UMTS system, or Routing Area if a data packet session is
involved). Paging takes place by sending the broadcast message to all of those cells. Paging
messages can be used for information transfer. This happens in pagers, in CDMA systems for
sending SMS messages, and in the UMTS system where it allows for low downlink latency in
packet-based connections.
Our taxi network is a very good example here. The broadcast capability is often used to
tell about road conditions and also to tell about work which is available to anybody. On the other
hand, typically there is a list of taxis waiting for work. When a particular taxi comes up for work,
the operator will call their number over the air. The taxi driver acknowledges that they are
listening, then the operator reads out the address where the taxi driver has to go.
