The nitty gritty: 7 cell phone booster for rural area FAQs answered

  • Written by NewsServices.com

Cell phone signal boosters have long been a lifesaver for people living in rural Australia. Think about it: our wide, sunburned land is famous (or infamous) for its isolated stretches, the kind in which you might not see a single soul for days.

With this in mind, the most outstanding cell phone signal booster Australia has available can help in almost any rural location, and here are a list of answered FAQs to sure up any confusion:

Do they work well in remote locations?

If you have any form of reception, you can trust that these handy gadgets will work well. They are made to accommodate people in low service regions, reaching to the cell tower and back to produce top quality reception.

Do they work for camping?

For sure! Residential and RV models are designed to work for exactly that: working inside a building when camping. If you are camping outside without any connected electricity, you can easily stay connected for up to 18 hours with a working PSU.

Can you get service in the bush?

This does get a little tricker, of course, as your reception may likely be hampered by all the dense bush and trees blocking it. Whether you’re camping or live out in the bush, you should be able to receive a decent connection so long as you have an ounce of reception.

You might have to pick up a high quality antenna to give you a greater chance of reception, but you might need a PSU if you don’t have access to any electricity in your location.

How do they work in remote areas?

Essentially, this imperative technology does three things:

  1. An external antenna brings in existing 4G, 5G and LTE signals;

  2. The amplifier then goes on to boost the reception;

  3. The interior antenna broadcasts the boosted reception in your location.

Will they work on remote farms?

Of course! These handy gadgets are designed for applications exactly like yours, including the need to work efficiently in remote locations like farms. However, receiving the best reception in such situations depends on a few factors, including:

  • * Where do you require coverage? In a building, shed, vehicle etc.?

  • * How close (or far) is the nearest mobile phone tower?

  • * How strong is your outside reception?

If you have a pre-existing weak reception, you’ll have to purchase a high quality device to ensure it picks up on the weaker reception. The general rule of thumb is this: if you live far from a tower then it is always a good idea to invest in a high quality, long distance device, one that can pick up on where you are regardless of the distance from the tower!

This being said, if you live closer to a tower than most people in remote areas, you should be just fine with a weaker model.

Do they work up mountains?

If you can find reception on said mountain then a cell phone signal booster should really get the job done. However, if you don’t have any electricity access on the mountain, you might want to consider picking up a PSU.

Will the device work with my phone?

Of course! These high quality devices are literally made to work with mobiles, tablets, routers, hotspots etc. ensuring you have the connection you need when you’re out in a place that is far from any urban conurbation or reception tower. This is why they are such fantastic, reliable pieces of technology that are a joy to have on-hand in a remote location!
