Mobitex networks consist of only a few types of components: the Mobitex base station, the soft switch, and the NCC network control center. These are small units that are easy to place and install.

This simple and highly modular architecture makes network management extremely efficient and flexible. Mobitex networks can be configured in many different ways, from a large, public, nationwide network to a small, privately owned network serving a single region or company.

The networks can be precisely configured to match a particular service mix and expected solution requirements and are easily re-configured as service uptake and demand change over time.
