![]() Simply put you will achieve a lower cell signal the further away the cell tower is from your location. But in environments such as high-security buildings, they can be purpose built to prevent any type of signals from penetrating the building both in or out.įinally, the location of the cell tower can also affect your overall cell reception. Materials like aluminum, steel, and concrete are common materials that can prevent signal penetration. Unfortunately, other than replacing shielded cables not much can be done since most of the equipment in a datacenter are necessary to maintain company operations.Ĭommon building materials can also contribute to poor cellular reception. If you have unshielded or poor quality cables this can also contribute to additional “noise” that can emit RFI. The various devices that sit in that datacenter emit RFI (radio frequency interference) that can disrupt cellular connectivity. Unfortunately, this exact environment has a few factors that can adversely affect your cell reception, especially if the signal from the cell tower is poor to begin with. You’ll find the Opengear devices sitting on top of racks and cabinets surrounded by a variety of network equipment, power supplies, and cabling. Today’s scenario is a typical datacenter environment in a basement of company headquarters. We’ll touch upon a few of these factors that can affect RSSI and your deployment and also ways to overcome them. In this case, the closer we get to zero the better signal, unfortunately, that concept doesn’t apply to college exams. RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) is the measurement we rely on to determine the strength of a signal of the client to the access point (Opengear Cellular device to Cellular tower). Today we’ll be covering cellular reception which is absolutely critical to maintaining a good connection to providing OOB access during network outages. The two most common questions that arise when we begin discussing cellular out-of-band is reception and security. ![]()
