There are many different factors that influence signal strength and quality, including but not limited to:
There are many different factors that influence signal strength and quality, including but not limited to:
*Tower load
*Proximity to the cellular tower
*Proximity to the cellular tower
*Tower load
*Signal going through a cellular repeater
*Competing signals
*Physical barriers (mountains, buildings, trains, etc.)
*Physical barriers (mountains, buildings, trains, etc.)
*Weather

Therefore, measurements like Signal Strength (RSSI) and Signal Quality (EC/IO) do not incorporate all of the relevant factors to describe the quality of the connection. For example, you may have an excellent RSSI value of -51 dBm, but the Tower Load (the number of mobile users) in your area is very high. In this case, even though you have a great Signal Strength value, you may not achieve maximum mobile data speeds.
