The one-number system is different than call forwarding because the network decides which phone to send the call to. If the mobile phone is turned on but the customer chooses not to answer it, the call is routed back to the home or office phone. If the mobile phone is switched off, incoming calls automatically ring on the designated home or office phone. More traditional cell antennas have 1,500 pounds of equipment housed on the ground next to the antenna tower.Ī unique interconnection between US WEST's wireline and wireless networks allows customers to link a home or office phone and a wireless phone to the same number. Hardware completing the cell site consists of 78 pounds of hardware that also can be mounted on the pole. A number of the antennas are mounted atop existing utility or street light poles. The wireless network is built using new "PICOcell" mini-tower antennas that are much less noticeable on the skyline than traditional cell antennas. The footprint of the network reflects the corridor US WEST is focusing on as a telecommunications provider for the 2002 Winter Games. The company's all-digital PCS network stretches from North Ogden to Payson along the Wasatch Front and extends east along I-80 through Park City and into Heber. The launch makes the Salt Lake area one of the most competitive markets in the country, as customers now have six wireless phone vendors from which to choose."You'll find our wireless coverage along the Wasatch Front is going to be world-class," US WEST chairman, president and chief executive officer Solomon D. US WEST has re-entered the wireless phone market in Utah, launching services Wednesday that are new to the state and not yet part of the company's wireless business elsewhere.
