Why Might There Be Poor Cell Reception in a Building?

Cell booster installation is most often required for two reception problems: distance and obstruction. If the distance between your cell phone and a cell tower is too far, then the signal will be weak or undetectable. Obstructions that can decrease cell reception include, but are not limited to, terrain, building materials, vehicles, or vegetation. Removing obstructions or changing locations are often out of our control or unrealistic. There are other solutions to improve poor cell reception.

What is a Cell Phone Signal Booster?

Often called an amplifier, a cell signal booster amplifies voice and data signals to reduce dropped calls and lost connections. The result is stronger, more reliable signal, clearer voice quality and faster data uploads and downloads.

OUTSIDE (DONOR) ANTENNA This outside, or donor, antenna is directed towards the cell phone tower to pick up even the faintest of signals.

SIGNAL AMPLIFIER The cell phone signal amplifier receives the signal from the donor and amplifies it.

INSIDE (INTERNAL) ANTENNA The amplifier then sends the amplified signal to the inside antenna to be broadcast throughout the building.
