Have you ever walked into your home or office while on the phone and your call was suddenly cut off? Mobile “dead zones” are one of the most frustrating things facing mobile users today. Our phones have become a kind of lifeline. We depend on our phone for emails, texts, the Internet, and most importantly, voice service.

Dropped calls have affected consumers for several years, since the first brick phone installed in our cars. While the number of dropped calls has decreased, it still seems to happen more than anyone would like. Companies like Verizon and AT&T have spent billions to upgrade their networking system to prevent this one problem from occurring.

Today, most calls are dropped not because of bad towers, but because of poor signal penetration in building materials. Any building that has thick concrete walls or a significant number of metal trays will completely block most cellular signals. Even some insulation can inhibit the transmission of these signals. Churches, large offices, and most warehouses will experience signal loss due to this. There are many other reasons why you may have weak or poor signals, but this is the most common in today’s world.

Cell phone repeaters were introduced to the market as a way for the consumer to take charge of low intensity signals. Sometimes called cell phone boosters, these repeaters bring the strong cell signal outside and distribute that same strong signal inside through a series of antennas.

Some advantages, apart from the perfect signal, are an increase in the battery life of your phone. Cell phones use 300% more battery life searching for a signal than if they no longer had to. Less signal hunting also means that the phone itself emits less radiation.

When looking for a cell phone repeater system, be sure to check that your product is approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Most products in the US already have this or are currently pending. Signal amplification is marketed as dB gain. The cheapest solutions will advertise a gain of 20dB – 50dB. While the more expensive 50dB+ solutions are much more likely to give you a solution for your entire home or office. The 100dB+ solutions are designed for large commercial installations. Unfortunately, the most common mistake people make when buying a repeater system is not checking the load level and dB gain. Ordering a system that only provides low level gain may only provide a boost in signal to 1 or 2 phones. Most higher gain systems will provide a strength signal for more than 10 users at a time. Small offices should pay special attention to this, as it can be a big reason why you choose one solution over another.

While the market for cellular repeaters is booming in the US, it’s important that you choose a company that can design a custom system to fit your building’s needs. Most professional companies offer a money-back guarantee and sell products that are built to last.
