> Whats the diff between tower and cell? The tower is what it sounds like, it is one physical structure containing the communications equipment, also called a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) [1]. The cell is the individual communications panel on the tower, also known as a CellID [2]. There are typically 3 panels on a tower, each covering 1/3rd of the surrounding area. So the tower gives you the physical location, and the cell gives you the general direction.
