Every school suffers from dead spots where cell phone coverage is spotty to non-existent. This can be extremely annoying for students trying to reach one another, and results in an increased numbers of cell phones smashed on the sidewalk in frustration. As a public service to your school, you have decided to expose these dead spots, and prevent all those new smartphones from being thrown at the ground in anger.

Deliverables

Propose a technical solution where students can inform each other of areas on campus where calls are frequently dropped. In 2 paragraphs answer the following question:

What is your method of collecting the necessary data (location and service provider)?

BONUS: How could you test whether the call was dropped because of the phone, service provider, or other issue?

    Submissions will be graded on the following criteria:
  • Meets Deliverables
  • Creativity
  • Clarity
