Long Beach Cell Signal Strength
There are 1,197 map hexes within the census-defined boundaries of Long Beach. The table below shows the proportion of hexes at various levels of signal strength. Where both 4G and 5G coverage is available, data is drawn from whichever technology offers a stronger signal.
Network | Strong | Decent | Weak | None |
---|---|---|---|---|
AT&T | 56% | 42% | 1% | 1% |
T-Mobile | 64% | 35% | 0% | 1% |
Verizon | 36% | 63% | 0% | 1% |
