Home / Cell Phone Signal Booster Installation Tips & Guides

An Overview

Cell phone boosters or Bi-Directional Amplifiers are a technology that strengthens radio signals used by cell phones.They do this by utilizing an antenna that receives the initial signal and then rebroadcasts that signal in a more focused manner. After the signal is received by the outdoor or the “donor” antenna it is brought indoors via a low loss coaxial cable.The signal booster than takes the signal and strengthens it and sends the strengthened signal to an indoor antenna where it is broadcasted to devices in the area.

Wide Band

Wide-Band has some limitations as they are regulated to operate on specific frequencies and bands. This limiting requires an already high performing outdoor signal and a very specific installation. These boosters operate as Verizon signal boosters, AT&T signal boosters, T-Mobile signal boosters, and Sprint signal boosters all at the same time. This boosts the signal for all of those carriers on all of their 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE networks and it will even work with the new 5G networks when those are released.

Carrier Specific

Carrier Specific boosters do not face these limitations as they very rarely interfere with other signals. However, as their name implies they only operate with specific carriers. This has many limitations. First and foremost switching carriers will interfere with the signal boost provided by a carrier specific booster. Also, any guests or visitors you have over that do not share your network and carrier will not receive the signal boost.

While it is often tempting to use the carrier specific boosters because they are often more affordable many signal booster users prefer to use wide-band cell phone signal boosters.

Reasons for Poor Signal

Rural areas typically have cell towers farther apart, meaning worse signal for you. As the signal has to travel farther and farther it loses strength until eventually, the internal radio in your phone will be unable to communicate with the cell tower. Many buildings, especially older ones, use material that interferes with the waves used by your phone or are simply designed in ways that did not account for a cell signal.
