Why Rsl Is Negative?
The Rsl Number Is Normally Represented as a Negative Value (Ie: -41Dbm), So It Is Important to Remember That the Higher the Negative Value (Further from Zero)...
The RSL number is normally represented as a negative value (Ie: -41dBm), so it is important to remember that the higher the negative value (further from zero), your transmit signal is weaker; the lower the negative value (closer to zero), your transmit signal is stronger.
Why is my signal strength negative?
Since cell phones receive and transmit using much less power than 1 milliwatt (often as low as 0.00000000001 mW or less), cell signal strength is less than 0 dBm and therefore measured in negative numbers.

What is RSL value?
RSL readings are an indicator of how well the radio can “hear” information being transmitted from the far end radio. The numbers are always preceded by a minus (-) sign. An example of an RSL reading would be -35. The closer to zero the reading is, the stronger the signal will be.
