In order to assess mobile antenna and tower infrastructure effectiveness for signal availability, researchers conducted a map-based analysis of antennas and towers for mobile communications within a three-mile radius from the epicenters of four New York City boroughs. Afterwards, they implemented an SMS-based mHealth pilot study.
Researchers were able to send and receive messages with a lower rate of failure due to signal service and tower structure limitations by performing the mapping analysis before sending the experimental mHealth study messages.
