Cell Phone Coverage – Black Spots!

All cellular networks have problems

Here’s a few things you probably don’t know. In general networks in most countries consider their coverage to be acceptable. New sites are being installed, and existing sites upgraded – not for coverage reasons, but for capacity reasons – if a radio base station is overloaded the cellular network operators are losing revenue, if you have poor coverage you’ll just try again. A lot more site sharing is happening than ever did in the past. This means a bad signal is as likely to be due to a poorly optimized network than it is to poor coverage – just watch how quickly the signal on your cell phone comes back!
