Hevitra ato Anatiny

Today it is difficult to imagine what everyday life was like before the mass introduction of mobile phones. However, there are still problems with the availability and stability of cellular signals. The editors of the KP researched the market for cellular and Internet amplifiers for summer cottages and found out which devices are most profitable to buy

The territory covered by the cellular communication network is steadily expanding. However, there are blind corners that the signal barely reaches. And even in the centers of large cities, mobile communications are not available in underground garages, workshops or warehouses, unless you take care of signal amplification in advance. 

And in remote cottage towns, estates, and even in ordinary villages, you have to look for points where the reception is confident and without interference. The range of receivers and amplifiers is growing, there is plenty to choose from, so the issue of lack of communication in remote areas is becoming less and less relevant.

How to choose a cellular and Internet signal booster for a summer residence

Tips for choosing a cell phone signal booster gives Maxim Sokolov, expert of the online store “Vseinstrumenty.ru”.

First you need to decide what exactly you want to amplify – the cellular signal, the Internet, or all at once. The choice of communication generation will depend on this – 2G, 3G or 4G. 

  • 2G is voice communication in the frequency range of 900 and 1800 MHz.
  • 3G – communication and the Internet in the frequencies of 900 and 2100 MHz.
  • 4G or LTE is basically the Internet, but now operators are starting to use this standard for voice communications as well. Frequencies – 800, 1800, 2600 and sometimes 900 and 2100 MHz.

By default, phones connect to the most up-to-date and high-speed network, even if its signal is very poor and unusable. Therefore, if you just need to make a call, and your phone connects to unstable 4G and does not make a call, then you can simply select your preferred 2G or 3G network in the settings on your phone. But if you need to connect to a more modern network, then you need an amplifier. 

It is important to remember that you cannot amplify a signal that you simply do not have. Therefore, you need to understand what kind of signal you need to select a device to amplify. To do this, you need to measure the signal at their summer cottage. You can do this with the help of a specialist or on your own – with your smartphone.

You can determine the frequency range at your dacha and other parameters using your smartphone. You just need to download the application. Among the most popular are VEGATEL, Cellular Towers, Network Cell Info, etc.

Recommendations for measuring a cellular signal

  • Update the network before measuring. To do this, you need to turn airplane mode on and off.
  • signal to be measured in different network modes – switch in the network settings 2G, 3G, 4G and follow the readings. 
  • After changing the network, you need every time wait 1 – 2 minutesso that the readings are correct. You can check the readings on different SIM cards to compare the signal strength of different mobile operators. 
  • ataovy measurements at multiple locations: where the biggest communication problems and where the connection catches better. If you have not found a place with a good signal, you can look for it near the house – at a distance of up to 50 – 80 m. 

Fandinihana ny data 

You need to track what frequency range your cottage covers. In applications with measurements, pay attention to frequency indicators. They can be displayed in megahertz (MHz) or labeled Band. 

You also need to pay attention to which icon is displayed on top of the phone. 

By comparing these values, you can find the desired communication standard in the table below. 

isan-karazany Icon on the top of the phone screen Fenitry ny serasera 
900 MHz (Band 8)E, G, missing GSM-900 (2G) 
1800 MHz (Band 3)E, G, missing GSM-1800 (2G)
900 MHz (Band 8)3G, H, H+ UMTS-900 (3G)
2100 MHz (Band 1)3G, H, H+ UMTS-2100 (3G)
800 MHz (Band 20)4GLTE-800 (4G)
1800 MHz (Band 3)4GLTE-1800 (4G)
2600 MHz (Band 7)4GLTE-2600 FDD (4G)
2600 MHz (Band 38)4GLTE-2600 TDD (4G)

For example, if you caught a network at a frequency of 1800 MHz in the area, and 4G is displayed on the screen, then you should choose equipment to amplify LTE-1800 (4G) at a frequency of 1800 MHz. 

Instrument selection

When you have taken measurements, you can proceed to the selection of the device:

  • To strengthen only the Internet, you can use USB modem or Route Wi-Fi with built-in modem. For the most noticeable result, it is better to take models with a gain of up to 20 dB. 
  • Strengthening the Internet connection even more effectively can modem with antenna. Such a device will help to catch and amplify even a weak or absent signal.

Devices to enhance the Internet connection can be dispensed with even if you plan to make calls as well. You can simply call in messengers without using a cellular connection. 

  • To strengthen cellular communication and / or the Internet, you should choose repeater. This system usually includes antennas that need to be installed indoors and outdoors. All equipment is connected by a special cable.

Safidy bebe kokoa

In addition to the frequency and communication standard, there are several other parameters to consider when choosing this device.

  1. tombony. Indicates how many times the device is able to amplify the signal. Measured in decibels (dB). The higher the indicator, the weaker the signal it can amplify. Repeaters with a high rate should be chosen for areas with a very weak signal. 
  2. Power. The larger it is, the more stable the signal will be provided over a larger area. For large areas, it is better to choose high rates.

Fanontaniana sy valiny malaza

Answered popular questions from KP readers Andrey Kontorin, CEO of Mos-GSM.

What devices are most effective in amplifying a cellular signal?

The main and most effective device in amplifying communication is repeaters, they are also called “signal amplifiers”, “repeaters” or “repeaters”. But the repeater itself will not give anything: to get the result, you need a set of equipment mounted in a single system. The kit usually includes:

– outdoor antenna that receives the signal of all cellular operators at all frequencies;

– a repeater that amplifies the signal at certain frequencies (for example, if the task is to amplify the 3G or 4G signal, you need to make sure that the repeater supports these frequencies);

– internal antennas that transmit a signal directly inside the room (their number varies depending on the area of ​​uXNUMXbuXNUMXbthe room);

– a coaxial cable that connects all elements of the system.

Can a mobile operator improve the signal quality on its own?

Naturally, it can, but it is not always beneficial for him, and therefore there are places with poor communication. We do not consider situations where the house has thick walls, and because of this, the signal does not pass well. We are talking about individual sections or settlements, where, in principle, bad. The operator can set up a base station, and all people will have a good connection. But since people use different operators (there are four main ones in the Federation – Beeline, MegaFon, MTS, Tele2), then four base stations must be installed.

There may be 100 subscribers in a settlement, 50 or even less, and the cost of installing one base station is several million rubles, so it may not be economically profitable for the operator, so they do not consider this option.

If we are talking about signal amplification in a room with thick walls, then again, the cellular operator can put an internal antenna, but it is unlikely to go for it because of the dubious benefits. Therefore, it is wiser in this case to contact suppliers and installers of specialized equipment.

What are the main parameters of cellular amplifiers?

There are two main parameters: power and gain. That is, in order to amplify the signal in a certain area, we need to choose the right amplifier power. If we have an object of 1000 square meters, and we select a repeater with a capacity of 100 milliwatts, then it will cover 150-200 square meters, depending on the thickness of the partitions.

There are still the main parameters that are not spelled out in the technical data sheets or certificates – these are the components from which the repeaters are made. There are high-quality repeaters with maximum protection, with filters that do not make noise, but they weigh quite a lot. And there are frank Chinese fakes: they can have any power, but if there are no filters, the signal will be noisy. It also happens that such “nonames” work tolerably at first, but quickly fail.

The next important parameter is the frequencies that the repeater amplifies. It is very important to select a repeater exactly for the frequency at which the amplified signal operates.

What are the main mistakes when choosing a cellular amplifier?

1. Wrong selection of frequencies

For example, a person can pick up a repeater with frequencies of 900/1800, perhaps these numbers will not tell him anything. But the signal that it needs to amplify has a frequency of 2100 or 2600. The repeater does not amplify these frequencies, and the mobile phone always strives to operate at the highest frequency. Therefore, from the fact that the 900/1800 range is amplified, there will be no sense. Often people buy amplifiers on radio markets, install them on their own, but if nothing works out for them, they begin to think that signal amplification is a hoax.

2. Wrong power selection

By itself, the figure declared by the manufacturer means little. You always need to take into account the features of the room, the thickness of the walls, whether the main antenna will be located outside or inside. Sellers also often do not bother to study this issue in detail, and they are not able to remotely evaluate all the important parameters.

3. Price as a fundamental factor

The proverb “The miser pays twice” is appropriate here. That is, if a person chooses the cheapest device, then with a probability of 90% it will not suit him. It will emit background noise, make noise, the signal quality will not improve much, even if the device matches the frequencies. The range will also be small.
