Microsoft Signal Booster Guide

Improve your Microsoft Phone with a Cell Phone Signal Booster by weBoost Wilson Electronics. Using a cell phone signal booster for Microsoft platform phones would minimize dropped calls.

Using a cell phone signal booster for Microsoft platform phones would minimize dropped calls Microsoft is one of the largest, if not the largest software and computer technology companies in the world. The only major rival to the network may be Apple. And while Microsoft is not Android based, it is based upon a Microsoft system. Microsoft is an entity in itself and as such the company has offered the Microsoft Phone, the Microsoft Lumia 735 (Nokia's handset division purchased by Microsoft). As with anything from the computer giant, some devices will have glitches and see weakened signals. To remedy the weakened signal, a cell phone signal booster may be used. The following booster kits will also boost coverage for cell phones by other manufacturers and cell service providers. That means that your friends, co-workers or family members who have cell phone made by another manufacturer and cellular service with any other wireless carrier in USA or Canada, can also benefit from the boosted signal when they visit your home or travel with you in your vehicle.

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 on your Microsoft. 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 Microsoft signal strength. As you can see, all of them provide a drastic improvement in Microsoft reception signal strength.	COVERAGE

Troubleshoot your phone first.

The first step in trying to strengthen your signal on your Microsoft Phone is to see whether the phone is the issue or the signal is the problem. It is advised that you follow the troubleshooting steps offered on the Microsoft community support page. Additionally, after you have checked the hardware, updated the device, and followed such steps, you should check the recent apps which have been installed on your Lumia 735 or other Microsoft device.

See if the signal is non-existent or just weak

Once you have determined that your phone is not malfunctioning and that it has the latest updates, the next step is to test your signal strength to determine if you just have a weak signal or to see if the signal is non-existent. To do this follow these steps:

• Check to see if you have a signal on the exterior of the building – If you were able to make calls prior to entering your house, office, or other building than the probability that the issue lies within the structure of the building (being that the concrete, steel, electrical work, etc.). Try finding a strong signal on the exterior of the building. If you are able to find a strong signal take note of the approximate location as it relates to the interior of the building. Go inside the building to this location and see if the signal increases. If not, then the structure of the building is weakening your Microsoft Cell Phone Signal. A cell phone booster would help in this situation.

• Check to see if obstacles are blocking the signal – If your phone is based upon a localized network connection, see if there are any obstacles within the house or the office that are blocking the signal. Common elements include WI-FI routers, furniture, plants, and interior patrician walls. Try moving the antenna to another location or removing (when applicable) the obstacle. If there are no obstacles on the interior of the building, check to see if there are exterior elements which are obstructing your signal. These can be man-made structures such as buildings or natural barriers such as mountains, forests, and even dirt retainer walls.

• How close are you to your tower? - Those little network coverage maps are good for aesthetics, but in reality have little to do with the reality of the coverage area. The towers of your network work on a radius based system and have a definitive coverage area. The further you are from a tower the weaker your signal will be. And while there may be multiple towers in your area, if you happen to fall between the covered radius of these towers, your signal will be weakened. The same is true if you are on the fringes of the radius. In such cases a Microsoft Cell Phone Signal Booster would benefit you.

• Are there any existing boosters, antenna, or signals causing cross interference? – Signals, especially cell phone and internet signals are very fickle in terms of their stability. Many factors can cause a weakened signal, specifically other signals from other devices. If you have existing antenna, cell phone boosters, or electronics, these may be blocking the signal. Attempt to get a stronger signal by temporarily disabling these devices. Should you see the signal increase than the problem is within these devices. Adjust them accordingly to increase your signal strength.

What can a cell phone booster for Microsoft phones do to increase my signal?

A Microsoft cell phone booster can help to eliminate dropped calls, increase the clearness of your voice conversations by strengthening the signal and removing static from the line. It can also help with your Skype voice and video communications. Furthermore, the Microsoft Cell Phone Signal booster can increase the speed in which you can download. In some instances, the boost to the Microsoft Lumia 735 and other Microsoft phones resulted in an optimized battery which provided up to 2 additional hours of usage.

How does a cellphone signal booster work?

A cell phone signal booster implements technology and hardware to scan the area for existing signals which may not be picked up by your phone. These signals are then refurbished to an extent and attached to the strongest existing signal. It is not creating a signal, but rather maximizing the functionality of the signals so that they work together to give the strongest possible result. The process is similar to taking a high performance vehicle, applying the best fuel, and then charging it with NOS. While the former specifications of the vehicle would give you a level of performance, the NOS would add additional power and performance.

What are the parts of a Microsoft Cell Phone Signal Booster and how do they work?

While there are some differences in the bells and whistles of a cell phone booster, they are all fundamentally designed the same. There are four main components which make up the cell phone booster. Keep in mind that these components have a variety of qualities and materials and that dependent upon the brand, model and price that you choose, these will vary slightly. The parts are:

• The Power Source – Usually the power source can be applied to a standard outlet. However, there are instances where a higher power source will be needed. The increased power is typical on professional buildings and coverage (over 50,000 sq. ft. areas). When using a desktop or a smaller Microsoft cell phone booster on a singular outlet, it is advised that you dedicate an outlet solely to the booster and that the power be connected to a surge protector.

• The Coax Cable – The Coax cable relates the signal from the booster to the antenna. It is crucial that your coax cable be made of quality fibers and that the connectors be of a high quality. The cheaper the materials and the connectors, the more apt your cell phone booster is to have a weakened signal caused by the coax cable. Also, the longer the coax cable, the more apt the cable is to have weaknesses which can affect the strength of the signal. The rule of thumb is to have a shorter coax cable with quality fibers for best results.

• An Amplifier – This is the physical device that scans and constructs the signal which is then related to the antenna. On occasion the booster and the antenna will be housed within the same physical unit. However, this is a rarity. In most cases they are separate. For the best results, keep your booster and antenna no more than 6 feet apart.

• An antenna – Antennas may vary in size and shape as well as in their mounting options. Desktop antennas are more prone to be a simple plug and place device. Mobile Cell phone signal boosters will typically be a magnetic or a bolt mount. In any situation, ensure that the antenna and the booster are facing the same direction and that the antenna is free from obstacles which may cause a weakened/disrupted signal.

Considerations

Cell phone signal boosters are a viable tool to help increase the overall strength of the Microsoft Phone. As these devices have been proven to increase the functionality of the phone, many generic and "homemade" solutions have become available on the internet. These generic and homemade options SHOULD BE AVOIDED at all costs. Generic and homemade solutions do not meet the FCC and network regulations for cellphone signal boosters. Neither can most of these devices be properly registered for legal usage. Using any device that is not registered through the FCC to the network can result in physical damage to the device (meaning that the motherboard, circuits, .net, framework, data, and other elements can become useless) or to the network including damage to emergency public services such as 911.

While a signal booster can increase the signal of your phone it is not a substitute for phone service. Any cell phone signal booster that claims it can hack into a network or tower is false. The cell phone signal booster must still have permission to the network, your data plan will still apply, and you cannot split your subscription to other users.

Internet services such as download and upload speeds are based upon signal based internet services. Should you require a boost to your home WI-FI Internet, you are encouraged to seek a specific WI-FI booster for your network/router as there are many available in the market.
