Factors Affecting
Where You Can Connect
As cellular phones become more prevalent in society,
the cellular network (determining in what areas you can
successfully send and receive cellular calls) continues to
grow. To this end, Analog connections are now available in
most parts of North America (see red areas on the map,
below). Analog (AMPS) technology is the older of the two
main connection types (see Cellular FAQ for more details
on connection/network types), and is therefore more
prevalent than its (newer) Digital counterpart (available
in the yellow areas depicted on the map below).

What all this means to a user is that there will be
certain areas where you can and cannot connect, as
determined by the coverage and plan offered by your
service provider. With digital-only, or analog-only
cellular phones, you can connect only in the areas
determined by the coverage regions provided by your
particular calling plan. With a Dual Mode phone, your
phone will detect (or you can set it to) the type of
calling region you find yourself in (digital or analog),
thereby providing connectivity in in your home network
area and while you roam.
With most cellular data kits, you can connect through
either a digital or an analog network. Dual Mode
connectivity has always been confined to voice calls,
until now. Ositech's CellFlex™ technology automatically
configures your cellular phone for use in whichever
calling region you try to connect through. With Ositech's CellFlex-capable PC Card you can now connect wherever
there is a cellular network**, whether it’s your home
network or another network you connect with while roaming.
**CellFlex dual mode digital data capabilities available
only on digital data capable phones (where supported by
the network).
