With seamless connectivity now a basic necessity, there is an urgent need to recognize and address an invisible threat: signal pollution. Signal pollution is caused by the unauthorized use of signal boosters, weakening mobile signals in the surrounding area, resulting in dropped calls, choppy, garbled or robotic audio, and in many cases, complete loss of connectivity. Despite significant efforts to expand network coverage across the country, the illegal use of signal repeaters has emerged as a major obstacle. These unlicensed devices, often sold discreetly, wreak havoc on mobile signals and put digital communication networks at risk. To some extent, it…
