    The key takeaways are that cellular systems accommodate a large number of users within a limited frequency spectrum over a large geographic area using hexagonal cell structures and handoff techniques.

    The MSC is responsible for connecting all mobiles to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) in a cellular system.

    The MSC accommodates subscribers and handles all billing and system maintenance functions.
