What is a "Cell Coverage Booster"? The Most Authoritative Explanation.
What is a cell phone booster?
Cell phone boosters (also known as cell phone repeaters) for homes (and similar buildings like cottages, cabins, retreats, etc.) are designed to be permanently installed and fill up the house with strong, quality cell signal. The following cell signal booster solutions are your best options for better cell signal in your home.
Do cell phone signal boosters work with Verizon?
Cell phone signal boosters are also interchangeably called "cellular repeaters," "cell signal amplifiers," and sometimes "network extenders." Some cell phone signal boosters are single-carrier and will work with one of AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile at a time. Other "broadband" boosters will work with all carriers at once.
What is the Go X Cell booster?
The GO X is a single-carrier cell booster: it will only amplify the signal from one carrier's network at a time. The higher gain of the GO X compared to other cell phone signal boosters makes it perfect for areas with weak outdoor signal. With 13 dBm downlink power, the GO X can also cover a relatively large area with improved signal.
What is the coverage area of a cell booster kit?
If the nearest cell tower is farther away and cell phone reception outdoors is weak, the coverage area of the cell booster will depend on the amplification, or the “gain,” of the cell signal booster kit you use. This most common in more rural and remote areas. If signal is weak outside, you'll need a lot of gain to cover your entire home or office.
