Comparative Analysis of GSM Quality of Service in Effurun, Warri Delta State, Nigeria Using Petroleum Training Institute as a Case Study

Abstract

Quality of service has become the major challenges being faced by telecommunication services users. Service providers (MTN, GLO and AIRTEL) have tried as much as possible to fight the disease that is faced by this sector by minimizing the losses that occurs during transmission from the transmitter to the end users, but signal losses still remain the major challenges in this generation and the generation to come. This is so because losses cannot be eliminated in communication systems and as such noise cannot be eliminated, losses has direct impact on the quality of service. This papers focuses on the signal strength in the selected locations using an application called network monitor to measure the signal strength in the selected locations, how the environments affect the quality of service and thereby drawing a conclusion on the best service provider to use by the occupants of these locations.
