Application Overview

Homes lose mobile signal because of thick walls, energy-efficient windows, basements and elevated floors. A residential booster system captures the outdoor signal with a donor antenna, amplifies it and distributes it through one or more indoor antennas. For multi-floor houses, the design usually starts with a site check of the outdoor signal level and a simple floor plan.

Typical Installation Layout

A typical installation uses an outdoor donor antenna, a booster or fiber repeater, a distribution network and indoor service antennas.

  1. 1

    Mount a donor antenna where the outdoor signal is strongest, usually on the roof or a high wall.

  2. 2

    Run low-loss coaxial cable to the booster located in a ventilated indoor space.

  3. 3

    Distribute the amplified signal to ceiling or wall antennas on each floor.

Installation notes

  • Keep at least 8–10 m and a wall between donor and service antennas to avoid self-oscillation.
  • Use a power splitter when more than one service antenna is required.
  • Confirm the target bands before ordering; band combinations vary by country and operator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one booster cover a three-floor house?

Yes, provided the output power and antenna count are sized correctly. A 20–30 dBm host with 4–8 service antennas is a common starting point for a 300–600 m² house.

Do I need an outdoor antenna if the signal is weak outside?

A booster needs a usable donor signal. If the outdoor signal is below the operating threshold, a higher-gain directional antenna and a site survey are recommended before choosing a model.

Will the booster interfere with the mobile network?

A properly installed booster with adequate antenna isolation and ALC/AGC should not interfere with the network. Installation must follow local regulations and operator requirements.

Can the system be customized for our market?

Yes. Frequency bands, housing, logo and packaging can be customized. Send us the target country and operator bands for a proposal.
