Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / December 2005Any telecomm experts out there? Coverage
My cingular coverage is almost perfect in my area...except in my backyard and thereabouts. Works perfectly in the house but when I step outside, right outside of the room I was just having a perfectly good call in, it breaks up and stays that way for at least a 300 yard area around the place, open fields, entirely unobstructed. Is there a reasonable explanation for that?  SignaturePoseur > My cingular coverage is almost perfect in my area...except in my > backyard and thereabouts.

Wouldn't consider myself a telecom expert but Heere's a theory: your yard is in a location where two cells interfere with one another. So in the yard, the signals get clobbered like two people talking at the same time at nearly the same volume. When you go into your house, one of the signals is attenuated much more than the other. Maybe you have aluminum siding on once side of the house :-) So in your house, you can access the stronger cell OK without experiencing detrimental interference from the other. Maybe? >My cingular coverage is almost perfect in my area...except in my >backyard and thereabouts.
