Why Indoor Signals Can Be Weak
There are several obstacles that can contribute to the poor recep on you receive in your condo, apartment
or dorm room:
1. Loca on of the Cell Phone Tower in Rela on to Your Home/O
ffi
ce
While cell phone providers have tried to place cell phone towers to provide the best overall
coverage, local ordinances and terrain features can impose restric ons on where these towers can
be placed, limi ng the signal strength available at your loca on.
2. Obstruc ons Caused by Buildings, Terrain and Trees
Cell phone signals can be completely blocked or re
fl
ected by buildings, walls, trees, hills and other
terrain features resul ng in low signal strength.
