Why You Have Unreliable Cell Service

The main reason for unreliable cellular service is weak cell phone signal which results from various kinds of factors working together or independently. The primary culprits to be blamed for weak signals are listed below.

Cell Tower Distance - The farther you're from the nearest cell tower, the weaker the signal you will receive on your phone. This happens more frequently in remote and rural areas.

Mother Nature-Mountains, hills, rocks, trees, leaves, winds, rain, snowfall are good signal blockers between you and the cell tower that weaken the signal.

Building Materials- As cell signals can not travel through materials like concrete, metal or safety glass, these man-made materials also do an excellent job in preventing pulling the signal into the building and vehicles.

How A Mobile Phone Booster Work

A cell phone signal booster works by capturing the existing outside signal with its exterior antenna. The outdoor antenna transmits the signal to the cellular booster. The booster then amplifies the signal and rebroadcasts it through the interior antenna. Correct installation of these components is essential before you enjoy boosted signal for better call quality and faster data speed. Cell phone signal amplifier kit can improve signal for small to large-sized homes, offices, commercial buildings, apartments as well as vehicles including cars, SUVs, trucks and RVs.

A signal booster kit includes three main components with cables to connect each other, which are:

Outdoor antenna: communicates with the cellular tower, captures the signal from the tower, and sends it to the signal booster unit inside the building. It's usually installed in the exterior of the building where has the strongest signal from the nearest cell phone signal.

Signal booster: receives and amplifies the signal and transmits it to the indoor antenna.

Indoor antenna: rebroadcasts the amplified signal throughout the place that needs cellular reception.
