Having dead zones or poor cell service in your home or business can be a nightmare.
The constant lifting of the phone up high or pacing around looking for a spot with a signal, you still receive the dreaded” No service” message.
Also, every time you make or receive a call, your stress level may rise because you are gambling on how the call will go and how long it will last.
Then sending text messages may take an eternity while loading the internet may be too slow.
But there is a solution to your dead zone and poor connectivity woes. With a cell booster, you can embrace crystal-clear calls and lightning data speed.
So, here is an overview of cell boosters. How they work, the benefits they provide, and how we install, troubleshoot, and maintain them.
How Do Cell Boosters Work?
Cell boosters amplify the existing signal strength and quality using three main components.
- Outside antenna. Installed outside the building, probably on the roof, to capture the existing signal.
- Amplifier. Its purpose is to boost the existing signal, making it stronger.
- Inside antenna. This works like the outside antenna but captures the boosted signal inside your house or building. It then broadcasts the amplified signal to your devices, improving the reception and providing improved call quality as well as faster internet speeds.
But, you can not pick any cell booster and install it in your home or business.
You need to consider some factors, as shown in the table below.
| Factor | Description |
| +Carrier compatibility | Since different cell boosters work on different frequencies, you must ensure they are compatible with your cell booster. |
| Coverage area | To choose the suitable amplifier and antenna, determine the space size you need to cover with a boosted signal. |
| Gain | Gain is the measure of how well your booster can amplify the signal. Therefore, choose a cell booster with an appropriate gain based on your area’s coverage and signal strength. |
| Antenna types | You need to be specific on the antenna type your space needs. For example, omnidirectional antennas are perfect for capturing signals from all directions.On the other hand, the Unidirectional(Yagi) antenna captures signals from one direction as it is triangular shaped and with a 45°beam. |
Benefits
You use a cell booster to improve signal strength and coverage, to enhance the quality of your calls, text messages as well as internet performance.
However, there are more benefits to using a cell booster.
For instance, you enjoy faster data speeds from improved signal strength and better coverage. Therefore, you can stream videos on Youtube, watch your favourite movies and TV shows on Netflix,
download files, or hold virtual meetings and video calls with your loved ones on Zoom.
Since you can make calls, send messages, email, and use the internet effectively at higher speeds, you can increase your productivity. You can reach out to people and close deals more easily than before.
Get a Professional to Set Up Your Cell Boosters
You need a cell booster if your mobile signal at home or work is wanting.
Therefore, we recommend you get a professional like MyNetworx to set it up for you.
Why? Because the installation process can be complex as it involves the following:
Checking the location of your booster. For better connectivity, we place the booster outside and in a spot that can receive the best possible signal from the nearest cell tower.
We also determine which kind of antenna you need.
Do you need an omnidirectional or a Yagi?
The coverage you need determines the antenna type we choose. We then start the installation process after identifying the best location for your booster and the type of antenna you need.
The installation involves drilling holes and running cables until we install the cell booster and it is ready to use.
But that is not the only thing we do.
We also ensure that everything is appropriately set up and configured by testing the signal strength. If the signal is still low, we configure any necessary settings until the booster works perfectly.
Contact us today to set up a cell phone booster if you want to easily call your friends and colleagues and use the internet at high speeds.
Not only will your call or messaging service improve, but you will be able to finish that tutorial or movie without waiting for the internet to load.
