Why Indoor Signals Can Be Weak
There are several obstacles that can contribute to the poor reception you receive in your home:
1.
Location of the Cell Phone Tower in Relation to Your Home
While cell phone providers have tried to place cell phone towers to provide the best overall
coverage, local ordinances and terrain features can impose restrictions on where these
towers can be placed, thus, limiting the signal strength available at your location.
2.
Obstructions Caused by Buildings, Terrain and Trees
Cell phone signals can be completely blocked or reflected by buildings, walls, trees, hills
and other terrain features resulting in low signal strength.
3.
Energy Efficient Windows
Energy efficient windows contain a metal film that can affect signal penetration into the
house.
