BS (Base Station)
A Base Station (BS) is a central device in wireless communication networks that facilitates connectivity between mobile devices like smartphones and the broader network. It transmits and receives radio signals within a specific area, known as a cell, ensuring users can make calls, send messages, and access data. Think of it as a hub that manages communication within its zone, connecting devices to the internet and other networks. Base stations are typically installed on towers, buildings, or poles and work together in a network to provide seamless mobile coverage over large regions.
