Why Cellular

Signals Can be

Weak

There are several obstacles that can contribute to

the poor reception you receive in your home or

office:

Proximity of the Cellular Tower to your

Home/Office

Unlike the sun, strong cellular signals do not fill the

sky from every direction. While cell phone

providers have tried to strategically install cellular

towers to provide the best possible coverage, local

ordinances and nature (e.g., lakes, rivers,

mountains) can impose restrictions on where these

towers can be placed.

Obstructions Caused by Buildings and Land

Masses

Like the sun when it sits low in the sky during early

morning and late afternoon, cellular signals can be

completely blocked or deflected by buildings, the

walls of the building you are in, clusters of trees,

hills, etc.
