With A Signal Booster Austin Cellular Phone Users Can Always Enjoy A Strong Reception

By Sharon Hall


Cellular technology has revolutionized the world. Millions of people are now able to communicate freely. Millions of workers are now free to work away from their desks because they do not need to be near a land lines telephone. This has increased productivity and service levels. Previously, the only drawback was the fact that there are areas where the reception is very poor or non existent, causing lack of communication or dropped calls. Now, however, with a signal booster Austin users will never be out of reach.

There are two major factors that influence the reliability and strength of cellular reception. The first is the distance from the tower and the other is physical obstructions. Service providers establish their networks by means of towers that receives the signals and pass them on to the next tower. Those on the edge of the footprint of a tower may experience unreliable reception. Mountains, buildings and even trees can also cause reduced reception.

There is a solution to this problem. Special amplifiers are now available. These devices simultaneously address both the factors that cause weak reception. They can receive weak signals, amplify them and then transmit them to a designated area. They are also able to bypass obstructions such as hills, trees and buildings. In this way reliable reception can be assured at all times.

These devices consist of three separate components. First there is an outside antenna that needs to be installed at a location where there is reception. This is normally as high up as possible. This antenna relays signals to an indoors amplifier with a cable. An indoors antenna then retransmits to the area where reception is necessary. The system works both ways. Signals from the phone is strengthened before being relayed to the tower.

Choosing a amplifying system should be undertaken with circumspect and several factors need to be considered. These devices will only amplify certain frequencies, so it is necessary to determine which networks and carriers the amplifier will need to support. This is important because this will determine the type of amplifier and antenna that will need to be purchased. If more than one carrier needs to be supported it will be necessary to install an omnidirectional antenna.

It is also important to think about the strength of the existing reception. Very weak reception will require much stronger amplifiers and of course their is a cost factor involved. The size and layout of the area that needs strong and reliable reception is also very important because this will determine type of indoor antenna that will be required. It will be more costly if the required reception area covers several floors of a building.

There are also some more affordable systems for individual use. These devices consist of a cradle designed to hold just one specific device. The device needs to be in the cradle at all times and the user have to make use of earphones or the speaker phone. In addition, it is possible to purchase amplifiers meant for use in boats and vehicles.

Cellular phones have certainly revolutionized communication. The technology is affordable and empowering. Problems with weak reception have now found a solution in the form of devices that amplifies even the weakest signals.
