![]() ![]() Missing calls and being unable to reliably use apps that require a data connection in your home or while on the go makes for a poor end-user experience. While it’s nice to have the excuse to step outside on a warm day, living with a poor signal day-in and day-out is far from ideal. It’s also why people have a habit of stepping outside to take a call. That’s why you may find that you lose your signal when going through a tunnel or into an underground public transit station. You’ve probably already noticed that cell signals work best in open environments. Cell Signals Work Best in Obstruction-Free Environments Those who live in areas that aren’t as densely populated, and therefore aren’t as high of a priority for cellular providers, may encounter more problems. This means if you live or work in a large city, you can usually expect a good signal. Verizon (and other mobile providers) work around these limitations by putting up transmitters everywhere they can. A clear, unobstructed 5G signal is very fast and has low latency, but unfortunately, 5G signals are even more vulnerable to attenuation and blocking than 4G LTE. This phenomenon is already noticeable with 4G signals, and it’s likely to get even worse when 5G becomes the default standard. ![]() The farther you are from a cell phone tower, the weaker a signal is.
