What affects the mobile signal level: the response of the Ministry of Digital Affairs

Have you ever encountered a situation where the phone receives perfectly in one room, while the signal weakens or disappears in another?

Details

The Ministry of Digital Communications explained why this happens and what factors affect the quality of mobile communications.

The new episode of “What's up with Communications?” on the Ministry's YouTube channel tells how the mobile network works and answers popular questions.

Mobile communication is built on the principle of a cellular network, where each cell is served by a base station.

This station provides coverage of a certain territory. If you are far from the base station or there are obstacles between you and the station (for example, walls of buildings or mountains), the quality of the communication may deteriorate.

The main factors affecting the quality of the communication :

• Distance to base station. The further the subscriber is from the station, the weaker the signal.
• The number of users in the cell. If many people connect to the same station at the same time, the bandwidth is reduced, which affects the stability of the signal.
• Interference. Building walls, metal roofs, dense forests, or mountainous terrain can block or distort the signal.
• Data transmission technology. 4G or 5G provide better coverage and speed compared to older networks, but this requires the appropriate infrastructure.

Base stations are a key element of mobile infrastructure. Their location directly affects the coverage.

For example, in large cities, stations are placed more densely, which ensures a stable connection. In rural areas, due to the long distance between stations, the signal may be weaker.
