  3. Signal strength in telecommunications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_strength_in...

    For very low-power systems, such as mobile phones, signal strength is usually expressed in dB-microvolts per metre (dBμV/m) or in decibels above a reference level of one milliwatt . In broadcasting terminology, 1 mV/m is 1000 μV/m or 60 dBμ (often written dBu). Examples. 100 dBμ or 100 mV/m: blanketing interference may occur on some receivers

  4. Modem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modem

    A modem transmits data by modulating one or more carrier wave signals to encode digital information, while the receiver demodulates the signal to recreate the original digital information. The goal is to produce a signal that can be transmitted easily and decoded reliably.

    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.

  6. Data Carrier Detect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Carrier_Detect

    Data Carrier Detect (DCD) or Carrier Detect (CD) is a control signal present inside an RS-232 serial communications cable that goes between a computer and another device, such as a modem. This signal is a simple "high/low" status bit that is sent from a data communications equipment (DCE) to a data terminal equipment (DTE), i.e., from the modem ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_signal_strength...

    Cellular signal strength of -74dBm (or 66 asu) displayed on a smartphone.Also shown: signal bars of two cellular networks, and signal bars of a Wi-Fi network. In telecommunications, received signal strength indicator or received signal strength indication [1] (RSSI) is a measurement of the power present in a received radio signal.

  8. Uncapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncapping

    Uncapping, in the context of cable modems, refers to a number of activities performed to alter an Internet service provider's modem settings. It is sometimes done for the sake of bandwidth (i.e. by buying a 512 kbit/s access modem and then altering it to 10 Mbit/s), pluggable interfaces (as by using more than one public ID), or any configurable options a DOCSIS modem can offer.

    Using HSDPA technology, it offers download speeds of up to 3.6 Mbit/s and upload speeds of up to 384 kbit/s, which depends on Vodafone's network on each of the countries offering 3G services. Unfortunately, speed degrades rapidly when getting to the fringe of coverage or inside buildings where signal strengths fades.
