Signal Strength Test Data - K-12 Schools Nationwide

How Common is the Radio Communication Problem in Schools? Let's Look at the Data...

The following data summarizes records where the property type was a k-12 school:

     Pass / Fail
     577 - School buildings sampled (Most schools had more than one building)
     277 – School buildings that passed [48%]
     300 – Schools buildings where at least 1 floor failed [52%]

 

Test Type:
Signal Strength and Delivered Audio Quality (DAQ) : 573
Signal Strength Only: 4

 

Number of Building Stories:
1 story:      462
2 stories:  106
3 stories:      8
4 stories:      1

Conclusion: In-building wireless dead zones within k-12 schools is far from rare. In fact, with a greater than 50% failure rate in our sample study, there is a strong indication that this is a crisis in plain sight.
