What’s the Best Cell Phone Booster for Rural Areas?
Updated April 21, 2021
Rural areas have unique challenges with cellular reception. Homes and businesses in outlying areas are often more distant from cell towers, receiving less signal and experiencing slower data rates. Cellular signal of low strength have a harder time penetrating building materials, so many rural homes and commercial buildings have no usable indoor cell signal.
Fortunately, there are solutions to the problem of poor cell signal in homes, metal buildings, farm o […]

Down in the Delta
The Mississippi River Delta(click to enlarge)
The mighty Mississippi River ends at the Gulf of Mexico in an enormous delta region, covering more than 4,000 square miles of barrier islands, marshes, swamps, and forests. In addition to oil drilling, shipping, and commercial fishing, this area provides access to waterfowl, rabbit, and deer hunting, along with boating, camping, recreational fishing, and nature study. The area’s river channels, bayous, and […]
Custom solution: Engine parts manufacturer in Michigan (36,000 ft²)
A Michigan engine-parts manufacturer that produces high-performance parts for racing has two separate buildings, each with an office, warehouse, and manufacturing facilities. Both buildings are constructed of metal, which is very effective at blocking cellular signals and cutting off communication to anyone inside.
Powerful Signal designed a solution that included a separate 4G cell signal amplification system for each building. Both buildings had two floors, and contained offices an […]
Custom solution: Times Square New York City office (151,600 ft²)
One of the greatest challenges in today’s office environment is having perfectly acceptable outside cell signal that’s blocked from getting inside by steel, concrete, and low-e glass. The same materials that block heat (solar infrared energy) from entering your office building also block other longwave electromagnetic radiation, including frequencies used by cellular devices.
The result is that you can be carrying on a conversation just fine outside as you walk to work, b […]
Custom solution: Office for major international tire company in South Carolina (20,000 ft²)
A major international tire company that produces high performance tires needed better coverage in one of their office and manufacturing sites in South Carolina. The executives at this plant were referred to Powerful Signal by employees at another company location who had previously worked with Powerful Signal on a separate project.
The goal of this project was to cover the first-floor administrative offices in a two-story building. This building was constructed with concrete, and had […]
Custom solution: Critical areas in Arizona hospital (88,800 ft²)
An Arizona hospital called on Powerful Signal to improve cellular connectivity in their facility. This hospital serves a population of more than 131,000 people with emergency services, a level-III trauma unit, cardiac facilities, and other critical spaces. There was little to no cellular connection within this modern facility; low-E glass, concrete, and steel building materials were blocking cell signals.
Powerful Signal worked with the hospital to determine the critical areas that n […]
Why don’t cell phones work in my building?
Commercial passive DAS systems improve cellular reception indoors. A passive DAS system brings usable cell signal inside a building, often working within a hostile signal environment brought on by many different types of building materials.
So why does one building get strong, usable cell signal, while the building next to it is a cell signal disaster? Unfortunately there is no single answer to that question; there can be several major variables involved.
There are four mai […]
How a Florida distribution center solved its cell phone reception problem
A 90-year-old, $1 billion dollar international food distribution company had cell signal coverage issues in one of their newest distribution centers: Staff who were located in the offices of their 345,000-square-foot distribution center had trouble making and receiving cell phone calls due to the type of commercial building materials used in the distribution center.
Powerful Signal designed and implemented a 4G cell amplification system to cover the main offices in the building. The […]
