By Opting For A Signal Booster Austin Cellular Users Can Ensure Reliable Service

By Sharon Hall


Since the introduction of cellular communications this industry has shown phenomenal growth. Cellular phones allow people previously of of touch to now communicate freely. They have freed people from the shackles of a desk because they can communicate wherever they are. The only problem is that reception is sometimes very unreliable, especially in rural area and where there are large obstructions such as mountains. However, with a signal booster Austin cellular phone users can enjoy reliable reception twenty four hours a day.

The strength of cellular reception in a given area depends upon two main factors. The first is the distance that the user is from the transmitting tower. The further away he is, the weaker the reception will be. Service providers use a network of towers but there are always weak or even dead spots between towers. The other factor concerns the presence of obstructions such as mountains, tall buildings and even certain building material that are known to deflect or weaken signals.

The answer to poor reception is to use an amplifier. These devices are designed to address the two main causes of poor reception. In the first instance, they amplify weak electronic signals before transmitting them again to a specified area and in the second instance they bypass any obstruction to make sure that a designated area enjoys strong and reliable reception.

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.

Careful consideration of three main factors is necessary before purchasing an amplifying device. Firstly, it is necessary to decide which carriers need to be supported. The various carriers all operate on different frequencies and amplifying devices will only work with very specific frequencies. If more than one carrier needs to be supported a special outside antenna will be necessary but it is certainly possible to support multiple carriers.

The strength of the reception also need to be taken into consideration. The weaker the reception, the stronger the amplifier needs to be. Yet another factor is the area that needs better reception. The bigger the area, the stronger the required amplifier will need to be. The layout of the area is also important. If reception is required on only one floor, a simple dome antenna will be sufficient. However, if reception is required across several floors it will be necessary to install a panel antenna.

There are also systems for individual use. Specialized amplifying systems are available for use in vehicles and boats. With these systems the networks that need to be carried is the main consideration. Then there is a type of cradle that is designed to work with one specific device. These systems are the most affordable but will only work when the device is in the cradle.

Weak or no reception have been one of the main frustrations for cellular phone users. The development of efficient amplifying systems has now overcome that problem. With these systems even more people will have access to the wonders of cellular technology.
