carrier networks
Mobile service companies
Carrier networks are the telecommunications infrastructure operated by companies that provide wireless phone and data service.
The term distinguishes these large-scale networks—AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile—from local WiFi or private networks.
The app works on any carrier network.
In technical contexts, carrier networks handle the transmission of voice and data between cell towers and devices.
