The Ultimate Guide To Mobile Signal Boosters

Nobody’s immune to poor mobile reception. It happens to all of us and can cause trouble, especially if an important call gets interrupted or a video conference keeps freezing. Before getting to eliminating the problem, we have first to understand the origin. So what are the reasons behind bad reception?

The range can be quite large, and while some of them fall under our immediate control, others do not.

If you are experiencing weak reception in an unfamiliar area, one of the best ways out is to manually reconnect to the nearest cell phone tower. For locating that tower, you can use a special app on your mobile device. These apps are typically catering to a specific operating system ( iOS or Android), or can be used by both. After you locate the tower, you might need to connect to it manually, using the settings on your phone.

You might have heard of this device under a different name. It is called a mobile phone signal booster, a mobile signal repeater, or an amplifier. This device will immediately boost your poor signal (voice, 3G and 4G). These devices are compatible with all local carriers and completely safe to use, as they are built according to all the necessary safety regulations.

When in doubt about owning a mobile repeater, remember, the perks come in bulk. However here are a few main points to highlight the most useful advantages:

• It will work with all major UK providers
• Pay once - enjoy for years
• Independence from LAN and Wifi
• It works well with all mobile devices – phones, hotspots, laptops, tablets, etc.

Reception can go haywire in the middle of a busy street in an urban area, and in a cabin in a rural area. People on both ends can benefit from having a signal booster around.

For anyone looking to increase mobile signal, a booster is a permanent and fool-proof solution. It needs a one-time setup and voila! Enjoy your video chat!

If you can catch a decent signal outside, but your house, office, or even boat get poor signal quality inside, then a phone booster is the way to go. It will seamlessly make your signal strong and reliable.

So, whether you're struggling with dropped voice calls, seeking enhanced video streaming and browsing capabilities on 3G, looking for faster downloads and stronger connections on 4G, or preparing for the game-changing potential of 5G, there are signal boosters specifically designed to cater to your needs.

• The outdoor antenna catches the signal coming from the mobile tower.
• The signal goes through a coaxial cord and reaches the amplifier unit
• The amplifier enhances the signal.
• The stronger signal travels through another coaxial cord to the indoor antenna
• The Indoor antenna transmits the new, strong signal to cover a certain area.

How to get better phone signal in a forest cabin? How to boost phone signal at home if you live far from the tower? These are frequently asked questions that we would love to give answers to.

The only problem with rural and remote areas is the distance from the tower. A quite drastic but solid measure is getting the provider to install a cell tower near you. That might take a while, and require quite a bit of paperwork, but it has been done before.

If that doesn’t work, there are certain kinds of boosters that are specifically designed with this problem in mind. If the signal is fluctuating, the device might have trouble picking it up, but you’ll need a powerful device.

Statistics show that most people who purchase a mobile signal booster for home, do live in a rural area.

That depends on the device and the conditions your house is in. Before choosing a home signal booster, enter your information carefully in the filters: the provider, the area of the house, and the signal you are having trouble with. This way you’ll get the device best suited for your specific needs. Plus, you can always ask customer support for help in case you are feeling lost.

Usually, mobile signal boosters are equipped to accommodate all major providers in the area, but, nevertheless, there are exceptions to consider. If you choose a multi-band device, the chances are it will support a few big providers such as EE mobile, O2 mobile, Vodafone, tec.

If your device is a single-band booster, meaning it supports only one frequency, it might not be suited for you.

How to improve phone signal? Choose the right device of course. In order to help you choose correctly, there are filters installed on the search. Just go on the website and fill it out! Specify the following information:

• Designated space – boat, home, office, hotel, car
• The square footage of the area
• The signal that needs fixing – voice, 3G, 4G.
• Your provider

The system will analyze your answers and offer you the list of best devices for your particular situation. You can browse through the boosters and choose the one that seems more appropriate to you.

There are a few things we should recap before we go forward. Here are a few things to consider while you choose a mobile phone booster:

• The outside signal strength
• Do you need a single or multi-carrier solution?
• The outside antenna can be either Omnidirectional – or Unidirectional
• The construction materials used for your house. If there’s too much concrete and wiring in the walls, that might lead to a bad signal inside.

Obviously, many different factors affect your decision. If you feel lost or in need of help at any moment, you can contact our customer support team and they will help you figure things out in a professional and friendly way! Our team works 24 hours, so you can call anytime.

This is a very important step in the process of getting your connection better. The right installation plays a key role in the results. Depending on whether you are installing the booster in the house, garage, office building, car, or boat, the procedures will be a bit different.

So where should you start?

• Find the spot where you get the best outside signal. That’s where you’ll need to install the outside antenna.
• In a similar way, find the weakest signal spot in the house. That’s the perfect place to mount the indoor antenna.
• Connect the outside antenna to the repetier, and the repeater to the antenna indoor, using coaxial cables. All of those are delivered with the installation kit. The length of the cord is optimal too, in order to keep a safe distance between the antennas.
• Plug the booster into the power source and enjoy the best possible reception.

If your outside signal is strong enough, get an omnidirectional (Omni) antenna. That way you can get all the signals coming in.

If your outside signal is weak, you need a directional antenna(yagi) to catch the strong signal coming from one particular tower. Aim the antenna towards the tower for a better signal.

While choosing a booster it’s very important to know their power levels. It is mentioned with the initials dB (Decibel). These devices also differ by their amplification strength. For areas under 150 sqm, all you need is a 10 dB booster. If you need a large area covered, say 500-700 sqm, you might need a 15dB device. Higher gain means higher coverage.
