What Disrupts Cell Phone Network Signals In Elevators?
We have often seen or experienced that an ongoing call suddenly drops as soon as you enter into an elevator. We have often seen people saying ‘I am entering elevator, will call you later’ or ‘the call got disconnected as I entered in the elevator’. Why it is so that we get quite strong network in perimeters of the building or inside the office or home but the same network becomes weak as soon as we enter the elevator. It can easily be understood if we understand how the cell phone network signals work ! Our cell phone receives signal from the nearest cell phone tower available to them. Near the distance with the tower, stronger will be the signal strength received by the cell phone. Now it is important to understand that though these cell phone signal waves can pass through most of the material still they are often blocked or disrupted by thick solids such as rock or metals like iron and steel. May be this is the reason that cell phone signal is disrupted as we go high
