How to End Dropped Calls, Poor Reception and Low Download Speed Problems

Bad cell phone reception negates virtually all the technological advances in communications and impacts your business reputation. Promises of high-speed, 4G, etc. have no meaning when you have connectivity issues. Problems with cell phone coverage and signal strength are fairly widespread and common. The causes vary, and you could easily be affected by any one or all of these reasons depending on where you are.

  • Distance from cell towers: Geographical distance from the tower plays an important role in the quality of cell phone reception. You are likely to experience connectivity problems as you move further away from the tower. Unfortunately, cell towers are not evenly distributed and some locations might experience black outs continually.
  • Interfering building/construction materials: Cellular signals have a hard time navigating the metal and concrete in your walls. Wire mesh and certain types of insulation can also interfere with the signal reception and create dead zones. This is a situation that is difficult to change in the near future. What happens when the nature of business determines the type of building materials used, such as in a factory or industrial plant?
  • Topography: Trees and mountains can block cellphone signals causing choppy reception and dropped/missed calls. Even passing through a subway tunnel or being in an underground garage can result in loss of signal. A mine or on an oil rig is not the best place for cell phone reception either.
  • Bouncing signals: It’s called destructive interference and happens when cell signals are reflected from walls and other barriers to cross paths with others. Signal strength becomes diminished and impacts your voice and data coverage.

Even making sure your provider has adequate coverage in your area is no guarantee that you won’t experience dropped or missed calls or struggle with low download speeds. A cell phone reception booster can effectively solve all these problems.
