Great question!
You can boost more than one cellular signal. We prefer to conduct a site survey in order to determine the carrier readings in and outside your building to determine what solution will be the best fit.
How Cellular Reception Works
Cell phone reception is the strength of the connection the cell phone has to its network. There are a variety of factors that impact cellular signal, such as proximity to a tower. Most mobile devices use a set of bars of varying heights to display the strength of the signal where the device is located.
Bird on a Wire……
This blog is industry related folks but not what we typically blog about at Harris Communications. My day started with the routine cup of coffee and logging onto my computer. I went to the local online paper this morning and I had to laugh when I read an article that talks about birds using a cell tower as “home”.
A signal booster an interchangeable term for cellular repeater, cell phone repeater, or wireless cellular signal booster, a type of bi-directional amplifier (BDA) as commonly named in the wireless telecommunications industry.
As defined by PCIA, The Wireless Infastructure Association:
A Distributed Antenna Solution, or DAS, is a network of spatially separated antenna nodes connected to a common source via a transport medium that provides wireless service within a geographic area or structure. DAS antenna elevations are generally at or below the clutter level and installations are compact.
A distributed antenna system can be implemented using passive splitters and feeders, or active repeater amplifiers can be included to overcome the feeder losses. In systems where equalization is applied, it may be desirable to introduce delays between the antenna elements. This artificially increases delay spread in areas of overlapped coverage, permitting quality improvements via time diversity. DAS are customized for individual installations and designed to suit each facility.
In-Building Wireless Solution, Ace Hotel- New York, NY
Ace Hotel has several locations throughout the United States and is a thriving urban hotel chain. They are known for their hip style, unique locations and are often called a boutique hotel.
Cellular Repeater Solutions can be designed to suit any size facility and repeat as few or as many carriers that the building owner desires. The outline below details how they work:
DAS is the acronym we use in the wireless industry for DISTRIBUTIVE ANTENNA SYSTEM (DAS).
A microcell is a cell in a mobile phone network served by a low power cellular base station (tower), covering a limited area such as a mall, a hotel, or a transportation hub.
A cellular network is a radio network made up of a number of radio cells (or just cells) each served by at least one fixed-location transceiver known as a cell site or base station.
