| BOOSTER MODEL | DESCRIPTION | MSRP | DB GAIN? What is dB Gain? Signal strength is measured in decibels (dB). Theoretically, -50 dB represents peak signal strength (5 signal bars), whereas -110 dB implies practically zero signal. Therefore, this means that signal strength reduces, as this number goes further away from zero (a higher negative number is further away from zero than a lower negative number). The number shown in this column indicates amount of potential improvement of your cell phone signal strength. As you can see, all of them provide a drastic improvement in cell phone reception signal strength. | COVERAGE |

Solution for Poor Reception: Cell Phone Signal Booster for Home.
Everyone who uses a cell phone or data card knows how aggravating it is to drop a call or not be able to connect. A lot of people find it frustrating that they cannot use their cell phones while at home. Once they enter their home, they find out that their signal is almost non-existent. That is why there's a need for this product. It can help improve the cell phone reception in your home.
With the fast growth of cellular network industry and increase in the number of people using phones, the need to use signal catchers have become common. While not everyone needs it, there is a portion of users that find having one helpful. The need for one is not just for homes in rural areas; it can also be useful for people living in the middle of a city like Toronto, Canada, or Houston, USA.
What is a Cell Phone Signal Booster for Home?
There're several instances in which cell phone users have trouble getting a signal to use their devices in their homes. In rural areas, network providers have to think about the cost of building a cell tower against the number of customers in the area. More often than not, customers are left with a weak signal if not a very weak one.
A signal booster, which is also known as a cellular repeater or signal catcher, is designed to utilize an existing signal and improve it so that users can receive and make phone calls. The Federal Communications Commission has classified signal boosters as bi-directional amplifiers.
They amplify the signal so that it becomes strong enough to cover your house or apartment. It works by using an existing signal from a nearby cell tower, boosting it, and rebroadcasting the signal inside the house. Therefore, having an amplifier like this can bring lots of benefits.
When you have signal catcher, you can enhance the signal reception of several carriers at the same time. This is important if members of the household own phones from different cell providers. Visitors can also benefit from the signal booster to make calls or access their 3G or 4G LTE data with ease. Our signal catchers do not require an Internet connection to function. A cell phone signal booster for basement is not regulated by a third party, which means you can freely place it wherever you want in your apartment without worrying about breaking any regulations.
While there're benefits of owning a cell phone signal booster for office or home, they also come with disadvantages. The signal booster will only work if there's already an existing signal that it can amplify. If you can get a good reception by the window to reliably call or send a text message, a signal booster will work. But if there is no signal even outside the building, a signal booster is ineffective.
There're cell phone signal boosters designed for a small apartment or house. They are affordable and can boost the signal in a room or two. But if you have a larger house or apartment, then you will need a larger signal booster that can a bit more expensive.
Components of a Cell Phone Signal Booster.
A signal booster is a simple device that is designed to capture long wave radio frequencies. Then the signal is amplified and rebroadcasted to allow users to use their phones effectively. Dropped calls are prevented as a result of using the signal booster. There are three major components of every cell phone booster on the market today.
An external antenna collects the appropriate radio wave frequencies. A weBoost kit can have an omni antenna or a directional antenna. A directional antenna must be pointed in the direction of the nearest cell tower to make sure that signal is received and amplified. An Omni antenna can get signals from all directions. You can use a signal strength monitor to find the best location for antennae.
Once this antenna discovers the radio waves, they are sent to the signal amplifier. This component improves the signal to make it louder, wavelength-wise. High-quality model can increase the signal higher than 50 dB.
Once the signal is amplified, the signal booster’s internal antenna will rebroadcast the signal. This allows the cell phone user to access the network. Cell phones will get the best signal when an antenna is parallel to the internal antenna of the booster.
Every reception enhancer needs outside and inside antennas that are far by a specific distance from each other to prevent feedback from each other. This can make installing the signal booster more difficult because you need to place the outside antenna on the roof of the building to get a decent signal or to separate both outside and inside antennas. An internal antenna must be angled away from an external antenna. For best results, it is recommended to have a wall or any other structure in between both antennas.
And with introduction of 4G and LTE, choosing the right phone booster is easy because they are backward compatible. The standard dual band signal booster is compatible with most 2G and 3G networks but the new 4G networks works with 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE for all USA and Canadian cell phone service providers.
Reasons for Weak Cell Signal.
One of the main reasons of weak cell signal is the geographic location of the user. The lower population density in rural areas is one of the reasons service providers are reluctant to invest a large amount of money to construct base stations everywhere. The distance between two cell towers, as well as the distance from the user, means that the signal can be weak. That is precisely why it leads to dropped calls and service interruptions.
Cell phones operate at low-frequency radio waves that can be generated by any battery operated device. It can also travel and refract over various landscapes. The low frequency of the radio waves means that the cell phone signals cannot escape a deep valley by reflecting off ionosphere.
There're certain construction materials that can block cell phone signals. These include lead and concrete. Poured concrete ceilings and floors can interrupt cellular service. Energy efficient windows, fiberglass, and foam can also result in degradation of signal strength while inside the building. That is why there's a need to use a reception amplifying products.
It is also difficult for cell phone users to make and receive calls in the middle of a large building. If your room is located in the middle of a large house, the layers of construction materials can act as barriers which reduce the strength of radio waves as they reflect off various surfaces.
Radio signals of various wavelengths can also interfere with the cellular signals. This is common in urban areas and results in dead zones. They are not large, and a cell signal booster for home can solve the problem. Antennas simply need to be placed in the right locations.
FCC Approval.
Federal Communications Commission now requires users to register their boosters with their wireless network providers before they use them. Class A is for signal boosters that amplify a single channel bandwidth. Class B is for signal boosters that amplify multiple channel bandwidths. weBoost signal booster belongs in this category.
In 2014, the FCC released a rule stating that the rate of interference caused by modern signal boosters is no longer significant due to the advancements in technology. For safety measures of the cell towers owned or rented and operated by wireless carriers, FCC proposed that consumers register with their provider before installing it.
How to Find the Right Cell Phone Signal Booster.
There're various cell phone signal booster kits on the market today. It depends on your requirements. When it comes to small areas, such as dorms, home offices, or apartments, weBoost offers two models – Home 3G and Home 4G. These models are designed for homeowners who cannot mount an antenna outside the home, or if the user just needs to cover a small room in the building. The external antenna can be mounted on inside of a window to cover a small area such as within a room or two rooms.
weBoost Home 3G and Home 4G cover a small area inside the house. An area where you mount external antenna and the strength of existing signal there will determine the strength of the signal inside the room. The two models are similar, except the Home 4G supports 4G LTE networks too.
If you're looking to cover an entire medium house that is about 5,000 sq. ft., then opt for the Connect 3G or Connect 4G kit. Both models are designed to boost the voice and 3G signals of major carriers in the United States and Canada. The Connect 4G can boost 4G LTE networks. These models cover small to medium sized homes as long as there is a strong signal outside the premises. The Connect 3G comes with Omni or directional external antenna while the Connect 4G comes with a directional external one.
For large buildings and offices, an owner or renter can choose to get a Connect 3G-X or the Connect 4G-X. These are the most powerful weBoost cell phone signal boosters for offices or homes. It provides maximum coverage and greatly prevents dropped calls, poor call quality and static. The Connect 3G-X and the Connect 4G-X utilizes a Yagi directional external antenna that can be mounted on a vertical pole on the roof of a home or office. The signal is then sent to the weBoost amplifier via cable. Then the boosted signal is broadcasted into one's home or office. The kit is easy to install and can immediately provide excellent cell signal.
An existing outside signal strength has a big impact on the amount of coverage that you can get from internal amplifier. It is crucial to remember that there are several factors that contribute to the coverage area, and the actual results may vary from one house to another.
The weBoost signal booster is compatible with all carriers in the United States and Canada. The 3G signal boosters are compatible with carriers using 700, 800, 1900 MHz frequencies. The 4G signal boosters also work with those frequencies plus AWS 1700/2100 MHz frequencies. It may not work in most Asian, African and European countries because the frequencies used in those continents are different from the ones used in North America. If outside Canadian and US markets, you must first contact your mobile carrier to determine which frequencies they use in your area.
This product is a great way to enhance the signal you receive and prevent dead zones in your home. Simply call us if you cannot figure which one is the right one for your needs. That way you will get the most out of your signal booster.
