Sometimes referred to a modem signal
booster, a cellular
booster amplifies a
cellular signal within a given area to achieve faster data speed, a wider range of
coverage with less
drops.
A cellular booster will not work if
there is no signal to start with. Modem signal boosters require at
least some signal to amplify.
In A Nutshell, A Cell Phone
Reception Booster can
Boost the 4G LTE, 3G or 2G voice signal
in a building, vehicle or
remote location.
Enhance the internet speed,
text, and talk quality.
Maintain a reliable
connection with less
drops.
Widen the reception
area.
A cell phone reception booster
cannot:
Boost satellite and cable providers
internet or Wi-Fi.
Create working 4G LTE and 3G
signals where there is no
coverage. There must be at least one bar of coverage for a signal
booster to work.
How Does A Signal Booster
Work?
Outside walls made of concrete, metal
rooms and even interior walls all contribute to reducing a cellular
signal inside. A cell phone booster works by pulling in weak
signal, boosting it, and then rebroadcasting it inside your area in
need.
Most signal boosters are a three-part system:
The Outside Antenna to capture weak cell signal.
The Amplifier to boost the weak signal.
The Inside Antenna to rebroadcast the enhanced signal inside
your home or car.
Area
Enhancement solutions work by taking the coverage from the outside
and extending it inside, creating a “bubble” of ideal coverage for
you and your customers. They do this by increasing the signal and
improving the quality.
The
result? You get better coverage in all areas of your
business.
What is a Smart Signal
Booster?
Novotech’s key
partner Cel-Fi produces some of
the most reliable Smart Signal Boosters on the market. These
boosters use all-digital
powerful baseband processors to clean the coverage
prior to rebroadcasting.
Smart reception
amplifiers come with over 100 dB gains while their analog
counterparts have 63-70 dB gains. Along with being digial, these units
also come
with great
features such as plug and
play, internal donor antenna inside the box of the booster and no
outdoor antennas are needed.
Top 3 applications for a
Cellular Signal Booster
In a particular
area:
Area enhancement solutions are designed to enhance the cellular
signal for all devices in a particular area from a small showroom
to a huge arena.
For a single
device:
In-Line enhancement solutions offer improved coverage for a
single device deployment. These are commonly used for sites that
are remote or mobile. Industries that use these solutions
regularly include: Power Utilities, Oil/Gas, Government and
Environmental monitoring.
In a vehicle:
Mobile Signal enhancement solutions are designed for the harsh
life of a road warrior. They increase the cell signal while in the
car to ensure that important calls stay connected and you can
access key information when you need it, where you need it.

What Cellular Signal Booster
should I choose?
There are
3 distinct types of
Cellular Signal Booster
installations
Smaller offices
installations are usually
able to be done without professional installation. They generally
involve no outside antenna installation and are usually sufficient
for areas up to 5000 square feet. For most installations, it can
generally be done in under an hour (sometimes in as little as 10-15
minutes!)
Complex
installations are when either
some specialized equipment (such as high-gain antennas and
customized cable lengths) are use or when cables have to be run
inside of walls and ceilings. Some users may be able to install
these themselves, but in most cases, it is advisable to have it
done by a professional for best
results.
Large scale
installationsis when more complex
pieces of equipment have to be deployed. As well, they often
involve the complexity of doing “signal site surveys” and other
diagnostics. With very few exceptions, it makes sense for these
installations to be done by a skilled installation
company.
CelFi PRO Extends Cellular Coverage at
San Ysidro Health Center
Read the case study on how
Cel-Fi helped CSIRO improve cellular coverage in
well-insulated areas of the new, 4-story building with an area of
over 150,000ft² (14,000m²) and more than 5,000 employees.
The CSIRO solution summary is a
great example of a large scale installation asmore complex pieces of equipment we
deployed. Cases like this involve the complexity of doing “signal
site surveys” and other diagnostics. With very few exceptions, it
makes sense for these installations to be done by a skilled
installation company.
