Mobile data offloading is the use of complementary network technologies for delivering data originally targeted for cellular networks. Offloading reduces the amount of data being carried on the cellular bands, freeing bandwidth for other users.
A mobile phone signal (also known as reception and service) is the signal strength (measured in dBm) received by a mobile phone from a cellular network (on the downlink). Depending on various factors, such as proximity to a tower , any obstructions such as buildings or trees, etc. this signal strength will vary.
The software for most Android devices can be updated from the Settings app, but check with your manufacturer for instructions specific to your device. Force stop and restart the app Verified for version 4.4 and later
An 'Access Point Name' (APN) is the name of a gateway [2] between a mobile network (GSM, GPRS, 3G, 4G and 5G) and another computer network, frequently the public Internet. [3] Some Important APN Terms: Below are some terms of the APN settings, explaining what each setting stands for: APN: The APN address of your (mobile network operator) MNOs.
CDMA2000 is a family of 3G mobile technology standards for sending voice, data, and signaling data between mobile phones and cell sites. It is a backwards-compatible successor to second-generation cdmaOne (IS-95) set of standards and used especially in North America and South Korea, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
Weak signal strength can also be caused by destructive interference of the signals from local towers in urban areas, or by the construction materials used in some buildings causing significant attenuation of signal strength. Large buildings such as warehouses, hospitals and factories often have no usable signal further than a few metres from ...
An IP network to which a mobile set can be connected; A set of settings that are used for that connection; A particular option in a set of settings in a mobile phone; When a GPRS mobile phone sets up a PDP context, the access point is selected. At this point an Access Point Name (APN) is determined Example: aricenttechnologies.mnc012.mcc345.gprs
The interface is a real-time dashboard of signal strength, available networks, and other metrics. It has been used to assist with the relief efforts in Ebola affected regions. [13] Using the data collected from the Opensignal app, the company is building WifiMapper, [14] an app for finding free Wi‑Fi hotspots, available on iOS and Android.
