We've probably all encountered poor mobile signal reception. We know how inconvenient it can be, and when the lack of a stable network is detrimental to your business, it becomes a real problem! This problem can be effectively solved with an active mobile signal booster, known as a GSM repeater, complete with additional antennas.
The external (receiving) GSM antenna is mounted outdoors, in a location with the best signal strength. It is connected to the repeater via a coaxial cable with a 50-ohm impedance. The mobile phone repeater itself is installed indoors. The location of the internal antennas depends on the structure and layout of the rooms. If multiple internal antennas are used, a signal splitter will be required.
The choice of GSM repeater model depends on several factors: the incoming signal strength, as well as the structure and size of the room where amplification is required. A detailed guide on choosing a GSM repeater can be found on this page.
An important step when selecting a repeater is considering the mobile network standard. In Ukraine, operators typically operate in at least two bands: GSM-900 and GSM-1800. Your mobile phone also supports multiple standards, and without specialized apps, determining the current operating mode can be difficult. Selecting the wrong repeater standard can lead to unresolved call quality issues. Methods for determining the mobile network standard are described in detail on this page.
After successfully selecting the GSM repeater model and standard, it must be properly installed and configured. A step-by-step guide on installing and configuring the repeater can be found on this page.
