[comp.dcom.telecom] Cellular Data Comm. from a stationary phone

sam@husc6.harvard.edu (Sam Lipson) (01/30/89)

	I've read the discussion of cell-switch delays that was
recently posted to this group,  and I'm wondering what guarantees
you have when you're stationary that you won't get switched to another
cell.

	Presumably if there's no cell switching going on,  you should
be able to use a normal (i.e. not designed for cellular use) modem to
send bits.

	Would this work?  Is signal strength a good indication of whether
you're safe from hand-off?

	Please send replies by mail,  I'm suumarize if there's interest.
