How do I choose the right cell phone signal booster for my home?

There are three key factors in choosing the right cell signal booster booster system for your home:

1. Determine your outside signal strength

When you’re standing outside your house—or, better yet, on your roof—how strong is the cellular signal you receive? If possible, you’ll want to measure this in dBm (decibel milliwatts), not in “bars” on your phone.

The more outside signal you have to work with, the more options you have for bringing that signal inside and amplifying it.

2. Calculate the square feet of coverage you need inside

Do you need to improve the poor cellular reception you’re experiencing in just one specific room? An entire corner of your house? A full basement? The entire home?

Get a rough estimate of the number of square feet you need to cover by multiplying the length times the width of the area to be covered.

3. Ask the experts

Once you know these two variables—even if they’re just rough estimates—the experts at Powerful Signal can determine which cell signal booster solutions will work best in your home. We can precisely calculate the broadcast distance and coverage you can expect with various systems, and determine which one best fits your expectations and your budget.
