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.
