Did you ever wonder how wireless networks keep the best signal strength between their cell towers, and how they prepare for new towers and network expansion? It’s an ongoing process. Cell towers are scattered around every city. Wireless carriers spend a fortune and lots of time sending people up to the top of every tower just to visually see the connecting towers. The reason they do this is to improve the connection you have with the network. As time goes by, things change. Trees grow, buildings go up, billboards and signs get in the way. All of this impedes the signal between towers. That’s trouble.
