mobile

1. Easily movable. 2. In telecommunications, able to maintain a connection while in motion.

Some RF-based wireless technologies support mobile communications. Cordless telephony, for example, allows the user to establish and maintain a connection while in motion, as long as the telephone is within range of the base station (BS). Cellular telephony not only allows the user to establish and maintain a connection while in motion, as long as the mobile station (MS) is within range of a base station, but also can accomplish call hand-offs to seamlessly transfer the call between base stations as the user moves from one cell to another cell. See also cellular, cordless telephony, and RF. 3. Referring to a mobile phone, or cellular telephone. In some parts of the world the slang term for such a phone is mobile (pronounced “MO-byle,”

at least in Great Britain). In other parts of the world, the slang term is simply cell. See also cellular radio.
