The Wifi/cell tower signal strength (written as [wifi_strength] and [cell_signal_strength]) can be used for example to determine the distance between you and the tower/router (this can vary depending on the thickness of walls and other various factors).
The scale of these values can be confusing : they range from -127 to 0 which might not be obvious on how to use.
The better the strength, the 
closer you will be to 0 the weaker the strength the closer you will be to -127: if you are standing next to the source, you'd typically be around -35. If you have a weak connection to a cell tower, you'd get around -110 to -115.
-127 means you are not connected to the source you are trying to measure. 2147483647 means the magic text broke for some reason..
