The location and physical terrain of the Malibu campus present significant challenges for cellular service coverage. This page contains information for faculty, students, and staff about specific cellular service providers.
The information on this page will be updated as changes occur.
Verizon
There are three Verizon Wireless cellular sites on Pepperdine's Malibu campus. These sites, located at the School of Law, on the RAC building, and at the Water Tanks site, located at the top of Aqua Mesa Road, provide excellent coverage to almost every area of campus.

Sprint PCS / Nextel
There are currently two Sprint PCS/Nextel cellular sites on Pepperdine's Malibu campus. These sites, located at the Aqua Mesa site and on the RAC building provide excellent coverage to the Drescher campus and some coverage to the lower campus. The School of Law site should be operational by TBD and will provide excellent coverage of the lower campus.
AT&T
The current coverage from this service provider is very good on most of the lower campus and on the Drescher campus.

T-Mobile
The current coverage for this service is fair in most of the lower Malibu campus and School of Law areas, and poor in all other campus areas. Information technology is expecting the construction of a new T-Mobile cellular tower to begin in late 2009 and be completed by summer 2010.
