6-POINT QUALIFICATION
Before purchasing any telecommunications equipment, it is essential to determine whether your property actually needs a mobile signal booster—and more importantly, whether a booster will work effectively in your specific location.
The 6-Point Self-Assessment Checklist
- Do your voice calls drop frequently as you walk through your home or office? If yes, indoor signal attenuation is present.
- Do text messages, 2FA codes, and banking OTPs arrive delayed or fail? This indicates severe uplink/downlink degradation.
- Does your phone's battery drain unusually fast when indoors? When phones struggle with low signal, their internal radios crank up transmission power to maximum, consuming battery rapidly.
- Do you have usable signal (at least 2-3 bars or -95 dBm) outside on your roof or balcony? Crucial condition: A booster amplifies existing signal. If you have zero signal anywhere outside, a standard repeater cannot generate signal.
- Does Wi-Fi calling fail to solve the issue for guests, clients, or delivery agents? A booster provides native signal without requiring password access.
- Are you losing business opportunities due to missed communications? In commercial settings, the cost of a booster is recovered rapidly in retained client relationships.
The Next Step
If you answered "Yes" to three or more questions and have outdoor signal available, your property is a prime candidate for an in-building booster. View our site survey process or get in touch with our engineers.
