Reasons for Weak Cellular Signals
Anyone who uses a cell phone or cellular data card knows the frustration of not being
able to connect to or maintain a strong cellular signal. When this occurs, it's generally
due to one of two reasons:
1. Location of the Nearest Cell Tower – Cell towers are situated to provide broad
coverage; however, there are many areas in which signal strength may be reduced by
local government restrictions on the height or placement of the towers themselves.
Rural areas generally have fewer cell towers than urban regions.
2. Natural and Man-Made Obstructions – Signal strength can also be negatively affected
by trees, hills, buildings and other obstructions. You may be relatively close to a cell
tower but still unable to make a call. This often occurs in homes, offices and other
buildings in which stucco, concrete or metal walls block the signal.
The Adjustable Gain DB Pro works with two antennas. The inside antenna communicates
with your cell phone, and the outside antenna communicates with the cell tower.
The outside antenna receives the outside signal and sends it through the coax cable to
the Adjustable Gain DB Pro, where it is amplified and retransmitted through the inside
antenna into the room. When the inside antenna picks up a signal from your cell phone,
the Adjustable Gain DB Pro boosts that signal and transmits it through the cable to the
outside antenna and back to the cell site.
(Note: the Adjustable Gain DB Pro Signal Booster will only operate if there is adequate
signal to amplify.)
