What is a mobile phone signal booster and how does it work?

product-kit.jpgA mobile phone repeater, or mobile signal booster, is a device used to boost the mobile phone reception to the local area by the usage of a reception antenna, a signal amplifier and an internal rebroadcast antenna.

Mobile signal boosters, works in the same way as a mobile phone mast used to broadcast by the network providers, but are  on a much smaller scale, usually intended for use by one building. Modern phone repeater amplifiers work by rebroadcasting mobile phone signals inside the building. The systems usually use an external, directional antenna (yagi) to collect the best mobile phone signal, which is then transmitted to an amplifier unit which amplifies the signal, and retransmits it locally, providing significantly improved signal strength. Our TX, TG and SB models allow multiple mobile phones to use the same repeater at the same time, so are suitable for commercial as well as home use.The market for Mobile signal repeaters is expected to grow rapidly in the UK over the coming years. This is due to the combination of the poor network coverage in some areas, and the large scale departure from the land-line system. Other advantages of mobile signal repeaters include an increase in the mobile phone's battery life and a lower level of radiation emitted by the handset, both caused by the lower power required to broadcast the signal to the local bi-directional amplifier, due to its proximity to the phone.

Mobdev have a number of Option to suit your conection and phone signal type

The first variable is the GSM this is you signal frequency uk, frequecies are 900, 1800 and 2200. Different mobile propvides use different Gsm signals so you will need to choose the mobile phone repeater that is right for your mobile service provider.

The second variable to our booster packages is your signal strength. We have 3 aeria types to collect the signal.

  1. The most basic version available with our wired units is the blade antenna, this is out most portable solution.
  2. For areas with signal outdoors but lack of signal indooors, MOBDEV have the pannel antenna which is available with all our booster kits as standard.This antenna is ideal for picking up the signal out side and repeating it inside. This can solve problems with wall insulation and other barriers to signals.
  3. The thrid otpion is for areas with low signal strength out doors we have the Yagi directional aerial, which will pick up very low signal strenghts from many miles away form the mast. This is ideal for rural and remote properties along way form your local mast

The third variable to our booster packages is the broadcase area and it size and shape. The broardcasing antenna for the smaller kits have one wall mounter booster unit that acts as the broard cast antenna, but the larger multi room booster units have seperate Broadcast antennas that can either be wall mounted for long low ceiling rooms and offices or mounted on the ceiling from high roof buildings like warehouses.

Mobdev supply a range of mobile signal boosters.
