e. Health Care

g. Homework

6. Describe the following types of cell sites.

a. Camouflage

Camouflage cell sites are usually found in city's or in areas where they would stand out to much and be noticeable.

They can look like flag poles, street lamps, trees, rooftop structures, architectural designs.

Trees for example. They make the leaves out of a plastic material that hide the antennas and the parts of the antenna. The bark or the trunk of the tree hides the tower.

b. Off-grid System

Off-Grid System is a cell site that does not have a Power-Grid connection. It relies on fuel (usually Diesel), wind, or solar power. Fuel can be trucked in or flown in by airplane. Most places that are Off-Grid can be hard to access.

c. Temporary Setup

Temporary Cell sites are antennas that are portable. A generator maybe provided to give power to the portable cell site. Temporary cell sites are used usually when the permanent cell structure is not currently in operation and it needs to have maintenance or when there are planned outages.

There are 3 types of Temporary Cell Sites:

1. RDU - Rapid Deployment Units. They are a mobile base station that can be transported by trucks.

2. Cell On Wheels are placed on trailers towed by vehicles that can load up to 3500g. These Cell on Wheels can be in operation in 1 day in very tight spaces.

3. Cell On Trucks are portable containers with a self-mounting telescopic mast. They can be in operation in 3 hours.

The photo that is here is called a KICO it is a portable cellsite.

7. Illustrate through drawings, sketches, or photographs a cell tower. Be able to identify a cell tower in an open area.

A cell tower is usually a tall structure.

Top - Down

UHF Shared antenna System - VHF Shared antenna System - Celllular antenna - Microwave antenna -

8. Create a speech, presentation, video, or game that illustrates what you have learned about mobile technology while earning this honor. Share your creation with a group.

One option is to go hiking and find the cell towers in your area and take photos of them and than use the photos in a presentation.

9. Discuss with a group some of the ways in which mobile technology can be integrated into ministry to share the gospel throughout the world.

Here are some topics on Mobile Technology

  • Videos

  • Bible
  • E-Books
  • Religious Broadcasting (Hope Channel, Amazing Facts, etc)
  • Text-messaging

10. Discuss with a group how mobile technology can be used to enhance the following aspects of your spiritual life:

a. Devotionals

b. Inspirational songs

c. Prayer reminder

d. Join worship services

e. Share inspirational messages

11. Discuss with a group how the following Bible passages apply to the use of mobile technology.

a. Matthew 24:14


And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Matthew 24:14 (NIV)


b. 1 Corinthians 6:12


“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything.
1 Corinthians 6:12 (NIV)

12. Evaluate how being a Christian should affect your use of mobile technology. Be detailed and honest, taking into account what you have experienced in this honor. Share your evaluation in written form with a trusted friend or leader.

13. Do the following individually or with a group:

a. Create a temporary contact list of your friends. Gain permission to send them a daily text message. At a selected time each day, share an inspirational text with those on the contact list for a minimum of one week. Respect any requests to be removed from the list.

If you don't have access to a phone, you can use social media or e-mail.

b. Over a period of three worship services, evaluate when people use their devices during a worship service, and for what purposes.

Be Respectful during the worship service. Look around you in the seats nearest to you. It's amazing to see how many people are using the devices and for what purpose. The way technology is going many people are starting to use small devices during worship. You can even count the Preacher if he is using one during his sermon!

In our church we use Mobile Technology for the Hymns that are displayed on the screen, it even controls the sound system and the lights.
