What Causes Poor Mobile Signal Strength?

Do These Problems Sound Familiar?

Any of the following are strong indicators that the place you use your mobile phone most has a poor mobile signal strength. This is more common than you might think. And if one or more of these sound familiar, then it’s time consider high tech options. Which are cost effective and work extremely well to boost your signal.

Slow Download Speeds

You can run speed tests using simple and free smartphone apps to tell you exactly how fast your data speeds are. Ideally you can test this in different locations and then compare the results. If your home or office has very slow speeds on multiple devices then it’s most likely down to the signal strength. This becomes very frustrating if you want to stream video or music to your phone and it just constantly interrupts.

Missed or Dropped Calls

Another very common problem with weak mobile signal strength is that you suddenly see missed call notifications. These will pop up as text or voice messages and it will look like you had your phone turned off even though it wasn’t. What’s happening here is that the mobile towers are not able to create a strong enough connection to you phone and they assume that you’re out of range.

Low Voice Quality

A poor mobile signal will almost always result in very poor voice quality. This can be noticed when you struggle to understand what people are saying and there are breaks in the audio or crackling sounds on either end. In very bad cases this will make phone conversations impossible, or you might have to go to a specific room in your home or office.

Constantly Fluctuating Signal Strength

The best way to validate this is by having more than one phone experience the same problem. If the signal strength constantly goes up and down within minutes and even seconds then it’s a strong indicator that you are in an area with weak coverage from multiple signal towers. Essentially your phone will constantly switch between towers to try and get the best reception. This is also a contributing factor to the next problem.

Batteries Not Lasting Long

Even modern smartphones should last a full day when fully charge, dependent on how much you use it. But if you notice that your battery drains faster in your home or office than in other places, then it’s probably down to a poor Telstra mobile signal. As a result your phone is trying to boost its power to get a better connection. And this constant boosting and searching for a better signal is a huge drain on your battery.

Cel Fi Go Signal Repeater

The Only Proven Solution: Cel-Fi GO Smart Signal Repeater

If you have searched for a solution before then you probably found several products that are simply an antenna option. Maybe you have tried some of these already. These options might give you a very slight improvement, but are simply not worth the investment when you compare them to the Cel-Fi GO, provided by Territory Technology Solutions. This revolutionary new product is 30 times more powerful than a simple antenna solution. And it is the only Telstra approved mobile signal booster, which says a lot about its effectiveness.

How Does It Work?

Essentially, it is a small box that uses an outdoor antenna to pick up the mobile network signal. This signal is then boosted and transmitted using an indoor antenna. The trick is to find the place where the best mobile signal is available. Then set up the indoor antenna in an area where the signal is the weakest.

With the Cel-Fi GO you can boost the mobile signal over an area of 900 m2 and allow more than 20 devices to be connected. This makes it an ideal solution not just for residential users. And commercial office spaces struggling with low signal power can solve a big communication problem with this one simple device. Our TTS engineers can pinpoint your signal issues and advise how the wifi signal booster can fix them.

If you are using Mobile Services for data only with such devices as a Netgear NightHawk or other similar hotspot unit the installation of an external 4G Antenna will provide an increase in the service speed and reliability making your experience a much better one.  Antennas like the Yagi or Wideband Directional Antennas can be used to improve the signal strength and reliability for mobile or fixed hotspot devices.
