Reasons for Weak Signal and Need of Cell Phone Signal Booster

In many rural areas, the housing density is too low to make the construction of a new base station commercially unviable. In these cases, it is unlikely that the service provider will do anything to improve signal reception, due to the high cost of erecting a new tower. As a result, the only way to obtain a strong cell phone signal in these areas is usually to install a cell phone signal booster. In flat rural areas the signal is unlikely to suffer from multipath interference, so will just be heavily attenuated by the distance.

In such cases, the installation of a cell phone signal booster generally increases signal strength. It works even if you are at a great distance from the broadcast towers.

Reasons for Weak Signal

Though there are several reasons for weak signals in this article, we will discuss the main obstructions.

Building Construction Material

Some construction materials very rapidly obstruct cell phone signal strength. Older buildings, such as churches, which use lead in their roofing material will very effectively block any signal. Any building which has a significant thickness of concrete or amount of metal used in its production will obstruct the signal.

Concrete floors are often poured onto a metal pan which completely blocks most radio signals. Some solid foam insulation and some fiberglass insulation used in roofs or exterior walls have foil backing, which can reduce transmittance.

Energy-efficient windows and metal window screens are also very effective at blocking radio signals. Some materials have peaks in their absorption spectra which massively decrease signal strength.

Building Size

Large buildings, such as warehouses, hospitals, and factories, often have no cellular reception further than a few meters from the outside wall. Low signal strength is also often the case in underground areas such as basements and in shops and restaurants located towards the center of shopping malls.

This is caused by both the fact that the signal is obstructed heavily as it enters the building and the interference as the signal is reflected by the objects inside the building. For this reason, in these cases, an external antenna is usually desirable.

Multipath Interference

Even in urban areas which usually have strong cellular signals throughout, there are often dead zones caused by destructive interference of signals which have taken different paths (caused by the signal bouncing off buildings, etc.)

These usually have an area of a few blocks and will usually only affect one of the two frequency ranges used by cell phones. This is because the different wavelengths of the different frequencies interfere destructively at different points.

Directional antennas are very helpful at overcoming this since they can be placed at points of constructive interference and aligned so as not to receive the destructive signal. See Multipath interference for more.

Diffraction and General Obstruction

The longer wavelengths have the advantage of being able to diffract to a greater degree so are less reliant on line of sight to obtain a good signal, but still obstruct significantly. Because the frequencies that cell phones use are too high to reflect off the ionosphere as shortwave radio waves do, cell phone signals cannot travel via the ionosphere.

Different Operating Frequencies

Cell phone signal boosters are available for all the different GSM frequency bands. Some cell phone signal boosters can handle different types of networks such as multi-mode GSM, UMTS & LTE signals however dual- and tri-band systems cost significantly more.

The solution to the Weak Signal Problem

The only solution to the weak signal problem is to use a compatible Cell Phone Signal Booster. The Cell Phone Signal Booster is a small electronic device. It works on the same frequency bands that are used by the cellular service providers to provide their services.

You should only buy the signal booster that is approved by the telecom regulatory authority of your country. Fortunately, the Cell Phone Signal Boosters we sell on our website are CE-certified, and RoHS compliant. They also comply with the guidelines of the Swedish telecom regulatory authority. That makes our Cell Phone Signal Boosters safe and completely legal to use in Sweden.

Installing a Cell Phone Signal Booster

The Cell Phone Signal Boosters we sell are super simple to install and use. You can install them in less than 15 minutes without any special tools or technical skills. Everything you need to install the signal booster comes inside the box of the Cell Phone Signal Booster. If you have any difficulty installing the signal booster you can refer to our Mobile Signal Booster Installation Guide.

Components & Working of a Cell Phone Signal Booster

It has three main components i.e., an internal antenna, an external antenna, and an amplifier. All these three components are connected together with the help of coaxial cables. The external antenna is placed outside the building where it can catch the existing weak signal.

After catching the signals, it sends that to the amplifier for amplifying. The amplifier amplifies the signal strength to make it five bars stronger and sends it to the internal antenna. The internal antenna broadcasts the boosted signals inside the building. This way the residents in the building enjoy faster and stronger mobile signal reception.

Coverage & Capacity of Cell Phone Signal Booster

A cell phone signal booster can enhance 2G, 3G, 4G, or all these signal types. Whether you are using 3, Telia, Tele2, or Telenor our signal boosters work on them all. We recommend using a Universal Signal Booster as it boosts all types of signals and for all the cellular networks. These signal boosters can cover up to 300 SQM, 500 SQM, 1000 SQM, and 5000 SQM areas. So, whatever the size of your property we have a signal-boosting solution for you.
