English term or phrase: mobile telephones vs cellular telephones

Ως τώρα τα ήξερα ως συνώνυμα στην καθομιλουμένη Αγγλική του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου και των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών αντίστοιχα. Σε ένα νομικό κείμενο γίνεται διαχωρισμός των δύο όρων, χωρίς να παρέχονται πρόσθετες πληροφορίες. Έχει κανείς καμιά εξήγηση;

Mobile phone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Cellular phone)

Εγώ πάντως δεν θα ανυσηχούσα για τι διαφορά τους αρκεί να διατηρείς τη συνεπή ορολογία "κινητά" "κυψελωτά".

CELLULAR
Refers to communications systems, especially the Advance Mobile Phone Service (AMPS), that divide a geographic region into sections, called cells. The purpose of this division is to make the most use out of a limited number of transmission frequencies. Each connection, or conversation, requires its own dedicated frequency, and the total number of available frequencies is about 1,000. To support more than 1,000 simultaneous conversations, cellular systems allocate a set number of frequencies for each cell. Two cells can use the same frequency for different conversations so long as the cells are not adjacent to each other.

For digital communications, several competing cellular systems exist, including GSM and CDMA.

A mobile phone is a portable device which acts as a normal telephone whilst being able to move over a wide area. Mobile phones allow connections to be made to the telephone network, normally by directly dialling the other party's number on an inbuilt keypad. Most current mobile phones use a combination of radio wave transmission and conventional telephone circuit switching, though packet switching is already in use for some parts of the mobile phone network, especially for services such as push to talk.

There are also specialist communication systems related to, but distinct from mobile phones, such as satellite phones and Professional Mobile Radio.

Πέραν του τι τείνει να επικρατήσει στις διάφορες χώρες ως καθημερινή ορολογία, θεωρώ πως ορθώς το κείμενό σου τα διαχωρίζει γιατί και κατά τον ορισμό του λεξικού που σου δίνει παραπάνω, ο όρος "mobile phone" είναι η γενική κατηγορία που καλύπτει κάθε μορφής "κινητό" τηλέφωνο με την έννοια της φορητής συσκευής.
