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

By Sharon Hall


The advent of cellular technology has empowered millions of people that had to make do with inadequate or even non existent communication facilities. It has also changed the way that people work because it is no longer be necessary to be at the office in order to communicate with clients ans colleagues. One main problem has always been the fact that there are areas with no or very weak reception. Now, however, with a signal booster Austin cell phone owners can enjoy constant reliable reception.

The strength and reliability of reception depend upon two main factors. The first is obstacles such as certain building materials that reflect or even block signals, buildings, mountains and other obstructions. The second is the distance that the user is from the transmitting tower. The further away from a tower the user is, the more likely it is that there will be dead spots and areas with poor reception.

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 amplifiers are not very complicated devices. An antenna is installed at a location that enjoys strong reception, normally on the roof of a building. The signal is then passed to an indoors amplifier by means of a cable. After amplification the signals are retransmitted to the area where better reception is required. The system also works in reverse. The signals from the phone is amplified before being transmitted back to the tower.

There are three very important factors that will determine the type of amplification system that will be necessary. Firstly, it is necessary to consider the carriers that will need to be supported by the system. These devices amplify only very specific frequencies and each carrier uses different frequencies. Some users may require a system that will support multiple carriers and will then require a special omnidirectional antenna.

The next factor that needs consideration is the strength of the existing reception. This will determine the type of amplifier that will be required. Very weak reception means that a much stronger amplifier will be necessary. Lastly, the area where better reception is required also plays a role. If reception is required on one floor only a relatively simple indoors antenna will suffice. For reception on multiple floors a panel antenna will be necessary.

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.
