Cellular connectivity is the backbone of modern communication across the globe, and communication is no longer limited to people interacting with one another. These days communication between devices and operating platforms facilitate the transfer of information or data, and supports thousands of everyday smart technologies.

This person-to-machine or machine-to-machine communication is referred to as the “Internet of Things”. Simply put, the “Internet of Things” is connecting any object to the Internet (and/or to each other) and extending the power of the internet beyond computers and smartphones to a whole range of other things, processes and environments.

The Development of Internet of Things “IoT”

The internet started as large collections of organised data created by people, and now we are moving to a new “generation” where data is created by things. This means that the information system which was traditionally bound to the internet is being extended to our physical world.

The cost of connectivity is decreasing, more devices are Wi-Fi enabled and have embedded sensors. Also, our current smartphone penetration is at an all time high. All of these things are creating the perfect environment for the IoT to flourish.

From commercial applications such as remote measuring and systems monitoring or even credit card machines, to consumer applications such as home automation or self-driving cars, cellular connectivity is a critical component that enables IoT devices to perform optimally.

Supporting the IoT Infrastructure with Strong Cellular Signal

Unfortunately, our cellular infrastructure does not adequately support the current and growing demand of IoT applications. Much of South Africa has some form of cellular infrastructure in place, however our cellular coverage is not always reliable, and weak in many places.

Our most powerful cellular networks such as LTE and possibly 5G, isn’t going to be available everywhere for the foreseeable future. Also, a majority of IoT applications support devices in places where strong cell signal is blocked by building materials, for example, flood detectors in basements, or parking sensors in underground levels.

IoT applications promises improved efficiency and time-saving, and in order to fulfill these requirements they need to exchange data with their servers in real-time. If these devices are positioned in a dead-spot or have weak signal, they cannot meet these basic requirements.

Cellphone Signal Boosters for IoT

Cell phone signal boosters bridge the gap where weak or no cellular connectivity exists by bringing cellular signal in from outside and amplifying the weak signal with a signal booster and rebroadcasting signal in an area where IoT devices are located and can use this signal.

With proper design and installation, a high quality signal booster system will provide reliable signal strength and fast data speeds for all IoT applications. Although future networks are continually improving to support these applications, we don’t have to wait for the future to enjoy the advances of IoT right now.

Cellular Amplifiers or Cellphone Signal Boosters are gaining popularity in South Africa. More people are starting to realise how cellphone signal boosters can improve their lives, and in many cases these devices have become a necessity to facilitate communication in remote areas or guarantee constant connectivity for your business located in the urban jungle.

But do you truly understand what an amplifier is, and how it works? Most people don’t research the inner workings in-depth, fearing it might all be too technical. Well, we are here to simplify how cellular amplifiers work, in a manner easy enough that even a layman can understand.

The Simple Facts On Cellular Amplifiers

Let us begin with the definition of an amplifier. In our daily lives we might use many amplifiers, yet, most of us don’t truly understand what it is and how it works. Amplifiers you might be familiar with include hearing-aids, loudspeakers and those black boxes you plug into an electric guitar. In it’s most simple form, an amplifier is an electronic device that increases the power of an input signal.

The amplifier takes power from a power supply and changes it to match the shape of the input signal, even if the incoming signal is stronger. The level of amplification of the input signal depends upon the power of the amplifier. The ratio between the input signal’s strength and the enhanced signal’s strength is called “gain”. The higher the gain, the more powerful the amplifier.

Mobile Signal Booster Signal Amplifiers

When cellphone amplifiers are considered, the incoming signal is what the phone receives from the cellular tower. A Cellphone amplifier increases that signal to higher levels, resulting in improved signal reception. When you receive amplified signal reception, your call quality improves, date speeds increase and dropped calls are a thing of the past.

The benefits of a cellular signal amplifier are varied. Within South Africa, various radio frequencies are used by mobile network operators, thus choosing the correct amplifier requires some understanding of how they operate. That’s why the Bolton team are here — to explain the differences and benefits of various Cell Phone Signal Amplifiers.

Weak Signal — Remote vs. Urban Situation Explained

You might wonder why your cellular signal is weak in the first place. If cell phones receive signal and cellular towers send them out, then why would you need an amplifier? That is a great question to ask.

While cellular networks are everywhere in urban areas, there are several remote and rural areas that do not have any cellular towers from their particular mobile operator nearby. This means weak signal for that telecom network.

Conversely, in metropolitan city areas, cellular signal is often obstructed by man-made objects such as skyscrapers, tunnels and bridges. Even the weather can influence and disrupt signal resulting in poor signal reception.

How Is The Signal Amplified?

Cell phone signal amplifiers work different to other types of amplifiers, in that they don’t form a new amplified signal. Instead they repeat the original signal that was broadcasted from the cell tower, after boosting it. That is why we also refer to cellular amplifiers or signal boosters as “repeaters”.

The main difference between a cell phone signal amplifier and other types of amplifiers is that the signal is not created, but only enhanced. A standard cellular amplifier consists of three main units:

1. The outside antenna that receives cellular signal from the cell tower 2. An amplifier which receives signal from the outside antenna and enhances it 3. An inside antenna that broadcasts the amplified signal to your cell phone.

There are alternative configurations available for this setup, and it is not fixed in stone. Many different accessories can be connected for large-scale boosting operations or vehicles that require constant connectivity such as ambulances.

Risks and Responsibility

As mentioned earlier, “gain” is the ratio of the input signal strength and the amplified signal strength. One might think that the higher the gain, the better the amplifier — but this is only true to some extent. Firstly, using an amplifier that has higher gain then you need is a waste of resources. This will give you no additional benefit. Secondly, if a cell phone amplifier’s gain is too high and is operating in close proximity to a cell tower, it can overload the tower. This could lead to serious consequences and can result in damage to the cell tower.

Currently there aren’t many laws that regulate amplifiers and much less the gain from amplifiers. Thus it is the installer or consumer’s responsibility to keep amplifier gain in check. To minimise unwanted gain, attenuation is key.

Attenuation is the opposite of gain — meaning loss. Loss is basically a reduction in signal strength and can be achieved by using various connectors, crimps and cables. Advanced amplifiers often include embedded components that can reduce the gain on the signal if needed.

Amplifiers from non-reputable brands often have extraordinarily high gain in order to provide a more powerful amplifier. Not only is there a risk that the cell tower might be damaged, but these radio frequencies that are broadcasted over such a powerful amplifier could interfere with emergency radio frequencies. To avoid such issues, it is always prudent to go with a reputable amplifier manufacturer.

These risks are not only to outside entities, but to your own amplifier too. Should the authorities identify your amplifier as interfering with a cell tower, it could be removed and you could face a hefty fine. Another common reason people experience problems with their amplifiers is when the outside and inside antennas aren’t located far enough from one another. The result is a radio frequency loop, referred to as oscillation — which means that the two antennas interfere with one another. This could lead to the entire system malfunctioning altogether.

Making Decisions On Purchasing Cellular Amplifiers

To avoid issues and problems, one should consider buying amplifiers from reputable brands. In the SA market, Wilson Electronics is possibly the most trusted manufacturer of cell phone signal amplifiers. Another important consideration is to purchase signal boosters that are ICASA certified.

All amplifiers from Wilson Electronics come with three lights: red, indicating risk of signal oscillation; orange, signifying risk of overload; and green which lets one know that everything is working as it should. Should there be oscillation or overload the booster automatically shuts down to protect the system and the cell towers. Wilson Electronic’s amplifiers have a patented feature called “automatic gain control” which means that the up-link and down-link signal’s are automatically adjusted to the strongest workable signal.

Without going into technical details too much, we hope that the information will help make informed decisions on cellular amplifiers. When considering a purchase decision, one needs to keep cellphone and network compatibility in mind, firstly. Safety is a close second.

Our friendly world-class support team is standing by to assist with any queries or questions about mobile signal booster amplifiers.

Bolton Technical is proud to announce that we now use iBwave in-building signal design software, to create signal system solutions for large and commercial buildings with our WilsonPro A500 and WilsonPro A1000 cellular amplifiers, which have been added to the iBwave database, for easy, flawless in-building cellular signal design. Fast, reliable, and consistent cellular connectivity starts with a well optimised in-building design.

iBWave uses a system that creates heatmaps of cellular signal in your building, taking into account all available factors that affect your cellular signal. These maps are created by one of our accredited iBwave designers to optimise your in-building cellular solution.

An iBwave system design offers many benefits when investing in a large signal amplification solution — using iBwave design software ensures that Bolton Technical are able to provide you with maximum optimisation on your in-building solution, all with a flawless design and installation process.

iBwave System Design Benefits Include:

1. Ensuring You Get The Right Amplifier(s)

We ensure that the right amplifier is chosen for your needs which means minimising the cost and optimising the output per amplifier, by using the iBwave system to simulate results from the placement and different models. By designing a complete in-building cellular coverage plan, we will provide you with a good understanding of the areas that will receive improved signal and address any weak areas that might exist.

2. Ensuring You Get the Right Antennas and Cable

The amplifier is an important part of a comprehensive mobile signal booster solution, however choosing the right antennas and cabling is equally important. Deciding between a dome vs. yagi (directional) antenna is an important consideration, and ensuring the correct low-loss cabling is used for large solutions.

Another important consideration is getting the installation done properly. You could have the best quality cables and antennas, however if the install has been done poorly, there likely won’t be much of an improvement. We work with a highly specialised, professional team of installers that are skilled in the installation of in-building cellular signal solutions — ensuring you not only get the best design, but best installation service too.

3. Placing Indoor Antennas in the Best Possible Spots

We ensure that the right antennas are chosen to give you maximum coverage in the area where it is needed. Different antennas have different radio wave patterns which makes them better suited for certain applications. For instance panel antennas are great for multi-story building installations and dome antennas are great in situations where you have a large open floor plan.

With an iBwave system design, we will lay out exactly what goes where before a rand is spent on equipment, and you’ll be able to see a completed heatmap of where the antennas will be placed and the coverage they’ll provide.

4. Working with Your Building Layout

Depending on your building lay out, there might be some challenges when installing the system. There might be no roof space to install cabling or you might have extremely high ceilings. Or perhaps there is no convenient place for an antenna.

Cable runs can also become problematic. Understanding the building layout is paramount for an optimal design and is best left to a professional iBwave designer.

With our iBwave system design services, we’ll make sure the building layout is taken into consideration when planning the solution & the cables are run in the optimal areas. You will be provided with a complete heatmap that shows cabling and where we propose best to run them.

5. Taking Building Material Into Account

Different building materials block cellular signal to a different extent. It is important to take the building material into consideration. Some walls might be made of thick concrete. Others may be drywall. Maybe you’ve got an open area with glass windows. Are they regular glass, or low-e glass? All of this matters for a cellular signal booster system.

iBwave is the best system to take all the factors into account. When your system design is completed, you will be able to see how much penetration you’ll get from antennas placed in key areas and this will help make decisions on the most acceptable solution and key placement of amplifiers and antennas for your situation.

6. Simulate Your Network In Advanced 3D

With our iBwave design system, a lot of time and money is saved modeling large complex venues, as it has advanced 3D modeling simulation. It allows diagonal drawing which lets you easily design square sections at an angle, lets you design for inclined surfaces and curved walls in seating area modelling such as stadiums.

3D modeling also assists our clients to easily understand the cellular coverage in their building, and view before and after simulations of the proposed solution.

7. Optimising for the Desired Mobile Operators

While our signal booster systems amplify all South African mobile operators, the effectiveness of the signal strength depends on the signal outside. It means that you might easily get Vodacom signal, but MTN signal might be more of a challenge. Often, amateur installers optimise around one mobile operator, then find no improvement on the others.

An iBwave system design takes into account all outdoor signal readings for all major network operators, and ensures the required coverage is placed where you want it.

Our Commercial iBwave System Design Services Include:

Consultation with a professional system installer

Floor-plan review & analysis

Industry-leading iBwave heat propagation mapping

Cable and antenna placement design

A fully optimised in-building cellular plan

Comprehensive equipment recommendations

Why do you have weak signal?

Let’s firstly look at why your signal is poor and your calls keep dropping off. Cell phone signals are radio waves that travel vast distances, but are easily blocked by almost anything you can think of:

Cell tower location and distance to the nearest tower.

Tower overload- too many connections serviced by 1 cell tower.

Outside Obstructions- anything from mountains, valleys, trees, foilage and tall building structures.

Construction Materials- any building material such as glass, metal, concrete and any conductive material such as magnetic or electrical forces.

Internal building obstacles- Wall thickness, other electrical influencers or lots of clutter.

Weather- bad weather conditions such as storms with rain and lightning can affect your signal.

When cellular signals reach your phone under these conditions, its poor and patchy leading to limited coverage and bad reception. You can go all “Lion King” on your phone by raising it in the air and hope to pick up something more than that elusive bar of signal- that’s if you are lucky.

But, it can all change with a Telkom Cellphone Signal Booster.

Cell C has been South Africa’s fastest growing mobile operator for many years and managed to grow it’s mobile subscribers from 9 million in 2012 to over 20 million in July 2015. Cell C offers competitive pricing on their data and voice products and have launched some innovative product offerings in recent years such as on-demand video streaming services for movies, series and other content. Cell C relies partly on roaming on MTN’s cellular infrastructure, which has helped increase their national coverage footprint significantly, however they are still hard hit by recent cell tower battery theft and vandalism on their own and their roaming partner’s networks.

Many consumers struggle with weak Cell C signal, and some claim to have no signal even though they are located within a coverage area on the coverage map. Others lie on fringe areas of these coverage zones and struggle with spotty and weak signal.

If you’re reading this article, and searching for a way to boost your weak Cell C signal, we have the answer you have been looking for.

Introducing our complete list or signal boosters for your needs:

Home & Small Office

Large Office and Commercial

Cell C Cell Phone Signal Booster For Vehicles and Small Rooms/Areas *Launches End October 2019

Our Pick Drive AM 100-Pro

https://www.boltontechnical.co.za/products/weboost-drive-am100-pro

AM100-Pro Highlights:

High-powered range: Up to +50 dB gain for 32X stronger signal.

Multi-user: Boosts signal for multiple users in a vehicle — up to 4 handsets.

Dual-Solution: Can be used in a vehicle and doubles up as a small room solution.

Our Review:

The Drive AM100-Pro is a “dual-solution” unit that work for vehicles and in single-room situations. The product is currently under going ICASA regulatory testing and will be available by end of October 2019.

This will be the first wide-band vehicle unit in the South African market, meaning it will boost 3G and 4G LTE signals for all cellular phones and all networks.This easy to install device is perfect for cars, bakkies, trucks, caravans and boats.

For the Single Room Solution: Depending on the outside signal, you will get 1 room coverage under best conditions. But you’re not here because of best conditions, so it’s more realistic to say small office to single room coverage (about 100m2 to 125m2).

This unit is a great option for single-office, home office and small areas such as cottages or apartments. A good starter kit if you have decent outside signal however doesn’t provide whole home coverage, and is not a strong performer in remote areas with extremely poor signal.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is a Cell C Signal Booster the same thing as a Cell C Microcell?

No. They’re completely different products.

A Cell C Microcell needs to be connected to a broadband landline internet to work. In short, it acts as a personal cell tower by converting your broadband landline to cell signals and vice versa.

A Cell C signal booster takes your pre-existing weak cell signal and amplifies that 3G & 4G LTE siganl in your home, office, or car. Think of it as a megaphone, it enhances the signal for your phone to pick up.

Which is better? Cell C Signal Booster or Cell C Microcell?

A Cell C signal booster and here’s why.

Cell C now suggests users connect to WiFi calling instead of installing Microcells.

If you already have broadband landline internet from Cell C, Mweb, Afrihost or any internet provider, we recommend going with WiFi calling.

A Cell C Microcell is additional equipment you don’t need since WiFi calling does the same thing and it’s free.

But if you don’t have a landline internet service provider nor have access to it–especially remote areas, then a Cell C booster is the best choice since it doesn’t require any type of internet or WiFi service to work.

It simply reaches further to the nearest cell tower, bypasses multiple interference, and brings a stronger signal to your phone.

Will a Cell C Signal Booster also improve my Cell C hot spot device?

Absolutely.

Cell C mobile hot spot routers use 3G & 4G LTE signals, and that’s what signal boosters do: enhance 3G & 4G LTE signal!

From any Wireless Internet router, it’ll get better signal and speeds, especially if the Cell C 4G router has an external antenna port that can directly connect to the Cell C signal booster.

Will a Cell C Signal Booster work with my Cell C phone?

Yes, yes, and yes.

Whether it’s an iPhone, Samsung, LG, or any phone, if it’s working on the Cell C network, then a signal booster will also improve reception to your phone.

What if I switch mobile operators in the future?

Our Cell C signal boosters from Wilson Electronics (weBoost & WilsonPro) are multi-network systems. This means they are also compatible with MTN, Telkom, and other major and local networks. They are future-proof!

What about Cell C 5G service?

The rollout process for 5G in South Africa is expected to take another 2–3 years. South African mobile operators are waiting on the communications regulator (ICASA) to license the required spectrum.

The Minister of Communications has asked ICASA to investigate and report on the required spectrum for 5G. This report is due to be released end of May 2020, whereafter a separate policy direction on the 5G candidate bands will be issued.

Will 5G make my Cell C signal booster obsolete?
