Professional Cell Booster Installation for Enterprise

How Does a Cell Phone Booster Work?

Cell phone signal boosters capture existing cellular signals via a donor antenna, amplify them, and rebroadcast them inside through a system of indoor antennas. Bi-directional, they also strengthen communication back to nearby cell towers, reducing connection drops. For more information, visit our article on How Signal Boosters Work.

Installation is critical for optimal performance. In commercial spaces, professional installation ensures proper antenna placement and equipment setup maximizing signal coverage and minimizing dead zones.

How Long Does Installation Usually Take?

After the site survey and proposal approval, installing a customized commercial signal booster typically takes about a week.

What's the Benefit of a Site Survey?

A site survey gives our installation team the opportunity to assess your site's signal environment, including dBm levels, SNR, wave patterns, and more. It also allows our team to get a feel for the layout of your building(s), determine optimal routes for running cable, and figure out what building material may pose challenges for a successful installation.

Will Your Systems Cover 5G?

We have a couple of signal boosters that cover popular 5G bands, such as T-Mobile's 600 MHz band and C-Band. Most of our boosters are 5G ready and work with low-band 5G signals operating on 700-2200 MHz frequencies. However, several systems have software updates planned that will automatically incorporate the 5G spectrum into their coverage.

A signal booster works by capturing existing signal, amplifying it, and rebroadcasting it within a confined space (not outdoors), so as long as they're capable of enhancing it, they can.

What Carriers Do Your Systems Cover?

Most of our systems are multi-carrier, which means they cover the full range of North American cellular carriers simultaneously. There are a few exceptions that only boost one or two carriers at a time, such as the QUATRA EVO and SureCall SpeedLink 5G C-Band. Generally, people use these systems if they have an exclusivity deal with a carrier, or if they want to buy more than one.

With all our systems, your users (regardless of carrier) will see a marked improvement in their call quality and data speeds without having to do a thing. They might not even know a booster exists in their workspace.

Is there Any Device Number Restriction on Your Systems?

The number of devices that can make use of the increased cell signal provided by our system depends on the power of the booster and the capacity of the towers. As a general rule, if you buy a commercial system, you should not have to worry much about capacity.

A major cause of poor signal is building material. We strongly recommend a system design before making any major equipment purchases, as our expert team of designers is well-versed in signal loss from internal obstructions.

How Does a Commercial Installation Differ from a Residential One?

Most homes are not very large and have specific areas where strong signal is needed. Commercial installations, on the other hand, can sprawl over thousands of square feet. They're significantly more complex, with varying layouts and signal challenges like noise interference in busier areas. Thus, a professional installation is required to get it done right. No one in our industry has more experience than the SignalBoosters.com team in designing, installing, and integrating cellular systems in a commercial space.

How Many Antennas Can You Deploy on a Single System?

That depends on the power of the system. Some systems like Zinwave can support up to 64 and others 16 or less. The more antennas you add to a system, the less effective each becomes as you introduce an element of loss when you split the signal. However, using more antennas helps achieve more complex coverage and navigate around internal obstructions - one of the major causes of your poor signal.

In short, if you need lots of antennas, make sure to get a more powerful booster.

What Sort of Warranties or Guarantees Do You Offer?

We offer 2-3 year warranties on all our systems, a year on all labor, and lifetime technical support. Should your system require maintenance, our team will return to your site to make any necessary adjustments or changes and ensure it's working as optimally as possible.

We also guarantee the professionalism of our employees, and will schedule their visit based on what works for you. The installation itself will be conducted in such a manner as to not inconvenience your normal operation.
