The Facts About Cell Signal Boosters
February 10, 2024
With so many solutions promising better cell coverage, skepticism about signal boosters is natural. You’re probably wondering, how do these devices actually work, and more importantly, do they deliver on what they promises? We examine the science behind signal boosters and what real-world results you can expect from a properly installed system.
How Signal Boosters Can Help
A cell signal booster is patented digital technology that works by capturing and amplifying the signal sent to a mobile device by a nearby tower. Generally it brings together three basic elements:- A donor antenna installed outside a structure, such as an office building or commercial property.
- An indoor antenna (or network of indoor antennas) that distributes that signal to the cell phones of everyone in the building.
- An amplifier that boosts the signal coming to cell phones.
Benefits That Cell Phone Signal Boosters Provide
In addition to dropped calls, there are plenty of further benefits to having signal booster support for your team. Signal boosters can help with:- Emergency preparedness. Reliable communication is essential when your team needs to connect with each other to address emergency needs, and it also keeps you connected to emergency services in your area, which can be crucial if the unexpected happens.
- Reliable customer connections. Being online and reachable by customers in a consistent fashion is one of the top priorities of a digital business environment. Cell signal boosters help your mobile architecture to hit that mark consistently.
- High-fidelity streaming of fast data. The ability to conduct video conferences and interviews without lag is particularly important in the face of large-scale disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic. Reliable and fast data streaming makes the quality of such meetings vastly superior, and it makes it far easier to upload and download the shared data your team relies on.
- More efficient power usage. Mobile devices scanning fruitlessly for weak or interrupted signals can often deplete their batteries much more quickly than normal, leaving devices out of commission and in charging mode when they’re needed most. The power savings can be significant, amounting to up to two extra hours of talk time.
