How to Boost 4G Signal

It is now known that the 4G signal does not always reach the recipient at maximum power. Sometimes it just doesn’t come or it comes in an intermittent way. Obstacles, interference, antenna capacity, and other elements can be the cause of a poor or weak 4G signal. Fortunately, there are methods of investigation to carry out checks and therefore find solutions. In this article, we go through everything that will help you boost 4G Signal.

What is 4G?

Let’s start by answering this question: what is 4G? Wikipedia defines 4G as:

“The term 4G indicates the technologies and standards of the fourth generation following those of the third generation, technologies that therefore allow advanced multimedia applications and data connections with a high bandwidth”.

For this technology to work, you need to carry data on four frequencies:

  • 800 MHz band: which is a long range with not very high data transport (band 20)
  • 1800 MHz band: which is a medium range with slightly higher data transport (band 3)
  • 2100 MHz band: which is a short range with high data transport (band 1)
  • 2600 MHz band: short range with high data transposition (band 7)

Using the NetMonster APP (free), it becomes possible to know on a smartphone which band we are hooking up. You will notice, in fact, the writing LTE 2600.

What are the Causes of Poor 4G Signal

There are a lot of reasons that cause the weakening of 4G signals. Below are some of them.

Check the Quality of the Antenna

This premise is essential to understanding how to verify the existence of 4G coverage. The tool I suggest is LTE Italy which, after free registration, allows you to understand the situation of the infrastructures of a specific geographical address.

This investigation must be performed for two reasons: the first lies in the fact that there are (very few) antennas that do not support all the frequencies which, in turn, can be aggregated in order to bring a greater amount of data. The more frequencies a BTS emits, the better its performance will be.

Carrier aggregation is a technique that combines multiple frequency bands to offer greater bandwidth which results in higher data rates.

Check Distance from the Antenna

In addition to the antenna (BTS), LTE Italy also allows you to understand the distance between it and the place where the signal will be received. This is because the signal becomes weaker as the distance increases. The further away you are from the BTS, the less data you will receive. The point of interest is served by three antennas with WindTre services.

If you want to measure the distance in terms of power, it is possible to use the APP (Free) Network cell info which shows the value of the received signal strength expressed in dB. The convenient color scale, which goes from red to green, allows the reading and interpretation of the data even for those who do not chew these notions. Based on this, you read your signal reception level and whether you need a mobile signal amplifier to amplify the weak signal.

Probable Saturation

The relay towers cannot “serve” all devices in this world; they have a limit beyond which the device trying to connect will be rejected. As the number of devices connected to a BTS increases, the amount of data received also decreases. This phenomenon is called saturation. The data is divided according to the connected devices. In order to carry out an analysis, therefore, it is also necessary to check the number of housing units in the area. So, even to the eye!

Obstacles and Interference

Having established a priori that there could be a signal in an area, it is necessary to analyse the place where it is located: a house with thick (and stone) walls may have difficulty receiving a decent signal. Often, in these cases, the device “picks up” the signal next to a window.

The presence of obstacles and blocks of flats can also obstruct the signal. Let us give you an example immediately. Between my father’s house and the TIM antenna, there is a block in the middle. Result? My father has no TIM coverage but if he moves beyond the building, the signal reaches him very well!

Finally, interference can damage the connection which works but too slowly. In these cases, the data packets that make up the information being downloaded to the device are dispersed and the receiving device is forced to request the same information several times in order to “complete the puzzle” with all the necessary information. This causes slowness.

Which Device Are You Using?

Wanting to answer this question, always thinking in terms of speed or problems, we would have to write an entire dedicated post. In this context, I will only explain that the devices are not all the same. This is because not everyone is able to aggregate enough bands or not aggregate them at all. The main problem is that even when the hardware supports the function, it is blocked by the software. So, you might want to research well before you buy your mobile device.

How to Boost 4G Signal?

In addition to having high-performance or suitable mobile phone devices, the only way to get a better 4G signal is to have a 4G signal amplifier.

The 4G signal amplifier is equipped with an external antenna that connects to the amplifier. This, in turn, must be connected to an internal antenna. The latter will be able to serve the entire structure in which it is positioned. Assembly is simple and requires no technical skills of any kind.

The 4G signal amplifier works on the same frequency bands that are used by the cellular service providers to provide their 4G services. Hence, these 4G signal boosters perfectly amplify the 4G signals for Iliad, Vodafone, WindTre, and TIM mobile networks in Italy.

How to Install 4G Signal Amplifier?

Installing a 4G signal amplifier is very easy. You can install these signal boosters in less than 15 minutes without any type of special tools or technical skills to install these signal boosters.

You just need to take all the components out of the box and start connecting them together. First of all, install the outdoor antenna on your roof or any high ground where it can catch the existing weak signals. Connect a coax cable to this antenna and at another end of this cable connect the amplifier. The amplifier is connected to the internal antenna at the other end. Plug in the amplifier to an electrical socket and switch it on. Now check your mobile and see if you are getting amplified 4G signals.

Legality and Safety of the 4G Signal Amplifiers?

All the mobile signal amplifiers listed on our website are CE-certified, and RoHS certified, and also comply with the guidelines of AGCOM – (Autorità per le Garanzie nelle Comunicazioni). Hence, they are completely safe and legal to use in Italy both privately and commercially.

All the signal boosters we sell work on both AC and DC power. They work in all weather conditions and in all terrains. That ensures you always will have the best signal reception for your mobile phone. As your 4G signal amplifier keeps working to boost 4G signal continuously.

Conclusion

Now that you understand that you can easily boost 4G signal with the help of 4G signal amplifier. So, now don’t keep struggling with the problem of poor signal reception. Buy your 4G signal amplifier today and enjoy uninterrupted and strong 4G signal reception.
