Are mobile signal boosters legal?
Initially, mobile signal boosters used to be illegal to use in the UK. However, within the Wireless Telegraphy (Mobile Repeater) (Exemption) Regulations 2018 that came into force on 12th April 2018 it was deemed that two types of repeaters would be legal when complying with required technical criteria.
Generally, those of static boosters for indoor use and those used within vehicles. Therefore, the indoor static boosters are the region where we focus our installations

The main causes of bad mobile signal are;

How mobile phone boosters work
A mobile signal booster is designed to replicate the outside signal strength. Generally, this is usually from a high point on the building into the property with as little loss as possible. Therefore, essentially, if you are getting 5 bars of 4G outside of your building you should be expecting to receive something similar on the inside.
Our solution requires an in-depth survey of the property. This includes looking at the routes for cabling required and the floor space to be covered by the signal.
The solutions works like this;
An external antenna will be mounted at a high point on the building. This is usually the roof but in some occasions, it will be on the side of the building. This antenna will receive the signal from the nearest mast with the strongest signal.
Cabling is installed from a central amplifier to the roof antenna and then distributed throughout the building to distributed antennas. The signal then reaches the booster antennas which corrects the signal to the correct frequency. This is then sent to the internal antenna which will produce the signal. This is like a mast does on the outside or a WIFI point does on the inside of your building.
Installed professionally, this can give you the best possible outcome which is full 4G matching the outside signal. Allowing you to get on with your day to day tasks, even if that is updating your social media…
