Why don’t I have cell reception in hospitals?
I do IT in a major hospital. I can answer this. The walls are super strong and/or thick.
The Short Answer
I do IT in a major hospital. I can answer this. The walls are super strong and/or thick. Having a fire would be a HUGE issue in a building full of oxygen tanks and disabled people. Due to the fire risk the buildings are kind of compartmentalized. In case of a fire, it shouldn't be able to spread very far. The downside to this is communications. Cell phones will suck. We give our doctors Voice Over IP (VOIP) cell phones that will use the hospital's wifi. The wifi is also affected by the fireproof walls, so repeaters are really really really common. Sometimes we will have as many as one per patient room in some departments. TLDR: the threat of fire kills your cell phone.
