The [{$pagename}] is the connection between the [Mobile Station] and the [Mobile Switching Center] and therefore the [Mobile Network].

Some examples of [{$pagename}]
* [Base Transceiver Station] is a [{$pagename}] within the [GSM] [Mobile Networks]
* [eNodeB] is a [{$pagename}] within the [UMTS] [Mobile Networks]
