How does cellphone transmission work?

Mar 30, 2005 3:47AM PST

I have questions like:
Tranmission by towers? How far apart are the towers?
Can transmission be done by satellite as GPS? If so what providers are using this method?
For me these are academic questions & I am trying to improve my kmowledge. Thanks for help or any other info.
