As the name suggests a 3G Mobile Signal Booster helps boost the 3G signals for the 3G users. 3G (also referred to as UMTS, HSPA, and the like) is a faster network access technology that also supports data and voice. Data can be quite fast over 3G with the latest standards including HSPA+.
It’s worth noting that 2G devices won’t work in Australia anymore, with all major telcos switching off their 2G networks in 2018.
Below is the frequency bands table of the cellular networks in Australia.
3G | 4G/ LTE | ||
Optus |
900 MHZ 2100 MHZ |
Band 1 Band 3 Band 7 Band 28 Band 40 |
2100 MHz 1800 MHz 2600 MHz 700 MHz 2300 MHz |
Telstra |
850 MHz 2100 MHz |
Band 1 Band 3 Band 7 Band 8 Band 28 |
2100 MHz 1800 MHz 2600 MHz 900 MHz 700 MHz |
Vodafone |
900 MHz 2100 MHz |
Band 5 Band 1 |
1800 MHz 850 MHz 2100 MHz |
As you can see from the table that Telstra provides its 3G Signals on 850 and 2100 MHz frequency bands. Whereas, Optus and Vodafone provide their 3G signals on 900 and 2100 MHz frequency bands.
Our 3G Mobile Signal Booster that we sell in Australia is built to work on these same frequency bands. These are built to the exact specifications of the ACMA so that you can legally use them to improve your 3G signal reception.
A 3G Mobile Signal Booster works on the frequency that is used by the cellular service providers in Australia. It has three components i.e., an external antenna, an internal antenna, and an amplifier. All these components are connected together with a coax cable. The external that is placed outside the building catches the weak available signal and sends it to the amplifier. The amplifier boosts that signal strength and sends it to the internal antenna. The internal antenna that is installed inside the building broadcasts that boosted signal inside the building. This way the residents in the building enjoy strong 3G Signal reception on their cell phones.
Also since the Australian cellular service providers offer voice calling services on the 3G frequency bands so these 3G mobile signal boosters also improve the quality of your voice calls if you are struggling with bad voice call quality. Buy one today and experience the improved quality of your communication and the speed of your 3G signal. If you have any questions please do not hesitate in contacting us.
