<br>
In our iPhone meeting, Jerry requested that we put coverage maps for
AT&T on our cell website...I took it one step further and put links
on all of our carriers pages to their coverage maps.<br>
<br>
If you go to our main landing page for Cell Phones
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://web.mit.edu/ist/services/telecommunications/cellphones.html">http://web.mit.edu/ist/services/telecommunications/cellphones.html</a><br>
<br>
Click on the carrier name and go to their specific MIT page..on it,
you'll find a link with instructions on how to get to the coverage map.<br>
<br>
Understand...these are high level estimates of wireless coverage. When
I looked at the AT&T map showing EDGE coverage, of course, it's all
orange (BEST coverage) blanketing across MIT campus. I spoke to our
major account manager about this, how our iPhone users were commenting
how the EDGE coverage was spotty, she suggested that if you find an
outdoor area where coverage is lacking, to let her know and she will
report it to engineering.<br>
<br>
Best way to do that is to email <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:cell-feedback@mit.edu">cell-feedback@mit.edu</a> with as much
detail as you can, and I'll make sure the info gets to AT&T. Years
ago, I spoke to AT&T (when they were Cingular) engineering about
putting cell transmitters on campus, but the places they wanted to put
them were not available for their use. Perhaps we can revisit this
based on new data as to where the coverage is lacking today.<br>
<br>
Anyway, have a good weekend everyone!<br>
<br>
Joni<br>
