Over the past few years, mobile phones became the integral part of our lives. They predominantly occupied a major role in the daily routine of the mankind and one may feel impaired in the absence of mobile in our hands. A worst nightmare of every mobile user is – ’Poor Signal Strength’ whose remedy is discussed in this article.
Most of the times when we are indoors, we experience these fluctuations in the signals even if the signal shows more bars. This might be caused by either poor signal strength from the network carrier or the Signal-Blocking Construction materials used in the house. To overcome this problem, one can use Signal boosters and amplifiers, which can be explained in detail below.
There are two types of Signal boosters available in the market for minimum cost which can be supplied by the network carrier.
- Signal Boosters/Repeaters
- Femto Cells /Micro cells
Signal Boosters/Repeaters:
Your Service/network provider can provide you with a “signal booster” device that can repeat and boost a mobile signal at your home. For example, if you have poor network coverage at your area and if totally blank at home, a booster can take that poor signals and amplify it to the Strong Signal strength. If you have great signal at only corner of your house and nowhere else, it is not a big deal a booster near that place can induce the signal and amplifies it, providing a strong signal in the rest of your home. Most of the network carriers are offering those boosters to the areas which come into their knowledge regarding very poor Signals
Femto Cells/Micro Cells:
A Femtocell or Microcell is a portable Mobile Signal controller that connects to the mobile network using your Internet connection. Generally, it’s a Mobile signal tower that will provide a signal around your home, by connecting to the strong signals over your Internet connection. This is essentially helpful when the entire Network coverage in the particular region is crashed due to any technical consequences. To avail this service only one main thing to be needed is a High speed Internet connection.
One of the major advancement in the enhancement of poor signal strength at home is Wi-fi Calling. One can ask, how if there is no active broadband internet connection at their house. Such users have no need to worry because instead of having broadband connection, an active Wi-fi is pretty enough to boost up the signals at your region. Setting up this Wi-fi network is not a cumbersome task as it needs only a router which helps you to access your mobile for all the needs including taking up the calls, messaging and all other available services on your phone.
Finally on a shorter note, Apart from these technical reasons for weak signals, geographical conditions also play a major role in obstructing the Signals from the tower. So make sure to clear such obstacles for enjoying uninterrupted Services.
