Bakit nawawalan ng signal sa elevator?

[jimnyeatworld]

ano ba talaga scientific explanation neto? kasi sa elevator lang eh sa basement parking meron naman

[kinyo]

It's a Faraday Cage. The metal box serves as a shield preventing RF signals going in or out.

O, baka tanungin naman ni bro. j kung ano ang Faraday Cage....

hmm hindi lahat.. may mga nasakyan akong lifts na may signal pa din eh..

[Taurus]

Yup, not all. Lifts that are glass encased and those on construction sites

or sometimes, they place tranceivers inside.

kasi meron spirits ang mga elevators

the operating frequencies of the spirits cancel out celphone frequencies

spirits don't live in basements

coz they're afraid of Basement Cat



kaya meron celphone signal sa mga basement

Actually some building has telco repeaters per floors, like in our building Globe has repeaters per floor so even in elevators you can do voice/text, other providers like Sun and Smart has no signals inside the elevators.

Because everytime you step into an elevator, you get transported to Hollow Earth, where all kinds of signals wither and fade.

Langya, OB, porke't malapit na ang sembreak, busy ka na naman sa mga walang kwentang bagay. Or baka naman homework mo yang tinatanong mo? Hehehe

portal kasi ang elevator to a parallel world.

Ohh so that explains those incidents where the elevator would suddenly open to the "13th floor"!

Well anyway, it's true, not all. The elevator in our office's building has a good reception, you can even make calls there.

Metal boxes and thick concrete effectively shields radio signals from getting in or out.

Elevators tend to be metal box constructs and tends to be located in the central core of most buildings. Mobiles phones don't have enough wattage in its radio emitter to punch through.

Mythbusters did an episode relating to interference and farraday boxes. look it up

Some elevators have cellular repeaters mounted on the car itself or within the elevator shafts to provide good uninterrupted mobile phone reception while within the building.

In our office, I had a cellular repeater for SUN installed because that is what we use to contact all our staff in the field and ironically SUN signal is weak inside the office itself.

Where did you get the repeater?

[speed unlimited]

Depende kasi sa frequency kaya wala pag sa elevator.

took photo of Globe repeater in our building, this one is near the entrance of elevator.
