signal strength
How clear transmissions
Signal strength measures how powerfully a wireless transmission reaches a receiver.
Cell phones display signal strength as bars—more bars mean clearer calls and faster data.
Wi-Fi signal strength determines connection quality and speed.
I can't get a signal out here, The signal strength drops when I go upstairs.
Poor signal strength causes dropped calls, buffering, and failed connections.
