GREAT QUESTION. Does anyone out there have an answer for this?
Because cell towers transmit waves omni-directional (not focused), and are also relatively low powered transmissions. When a dish is used focus the transmission waves into a tight beam, and the power of a transmission station increased, the waves can travel many times farther. Also, once the Tx waves leave the earths atmosphere, they travel without interference.
{edit}. Think of it like the range of a flashlight set to wide beam, aimed in the dark, through a light fog, compared to a stadium spotlight on tight beam focus.
Explain like I'm Fetterman.
Not sure it can be dumbed down that far.
Just say to trust the science in that case.
Science!
Or depending on if he's having a tough mental or day or not...

Goodnight Everybody. Moon. Phone-thingy. Talky-Talky. Hello.
Big radio signal, focused beam go far, connecting one caller to another from earth to moon.
Small radio towers, broad signal, too weak for space travel, but supports many callers at once.
Him use big words
pie. pipe. Frac. Franing. I was for. Fracking it. pipe. yeah.
Thanks. That's a great answer.
so cell towers have shorter range than landlines, got it!
That’s not what was said whatsoever...
Omnidirectional has shorter range than directional. The earth is round. Put it all together.
Bandwidth, accuracy, digital vs analog
Thanks Einstein. Hahahaha. Just kidding. I asked the question and you gave me the answer. God bless,
u/ToxicLibertyism gives about the best explanation.
That doesn't help the time delay for the signal.
I'm following the science; but I'm NOT a scientist. Haha. Thanks for the reply. God bless and have a great weekend.
Most of the "science" when it comes to space is really based on faith because NASA said so.
If they really did go into space and land on the moon, it's not likely to have been in the vehicles shown. The images shown at the time have all been composites.
Ex; Sea of tranquility should have had the earth near vertical from the surface where they landed. It never would go close to the horizon for the "earth rise from the moon" (also a fake photo).
Correct. When standing on the moon, the earth would be stationary in the sky. You would see it spinning on its axis in a fixed location in the sky.
To see the earth on the lunar horizon, one would have to move towards the dark side of the moon.
You would need to move to a location that places you around the edge of the moon's visible disc, when looking from earth.
Thanks. And who said I couldn't watch a Science channel on here. I learn something new everyday. God bless.
Wired and wireless?
The wired telephone that Reagan was using used the public (or USMIL) telephone switching network to connect to NASA. Which NASA then beamed up using (as ToxicLiberyism explains below) a unidirectional antenna up to the Moon.
Wireless telephones on the other... don't have wires, so their only method of connection is if there is a tower nearby that they can connect to. If there is no tower in the direct vicinity, they have to keep dropping their connection generation (4G > 3G > 2G > GPRS > GSM) to deal with that. At some point the phone loses service because it has nothing to connect to. Mobile phone companies fix this by having towers at regular intervals so that when the coverage of one tower ends, another tower picks up.
Thanks.
