AB  - This study investigated network coverage level, path loss exponents and propagation path loss characteristics for some building materials. Measurement of signal strength for three different building types; namely wood, zinc and block with their associated referenced global location were carried out. From the measured values, models were developed to predict the power-received level of G.S.M signal from prevalent network providers (MTN, GLO and CELTEL Nigeria) for both outdoor and indoor environment using Ekpoma and its environs as a case study. Results obtained using the developed models were compared with the measured values and existing ones. From analysis, it was observed that results gotten from the developed models predicted approximate values to the measured values using network monitor.
