What bands and wireless providers are served with this booster?
Frequency Bands: LTE-707(Band12, 17)/LTE-781(Band13)/Cellular850
(Band5)/PCS-1900(Band2, 25)/AWS2100 (Band4).
This equipment is a multiband signal amplifier which supports: Cellular 850 MHz, PCS
1900 MHz, AWS and 700 MHz for both AT&T and Verizon-4G networks as well as the
Sprint 4G G-Block of 1900 MHz.
SolidRF SR25652001 Delivers up to 70 dB of gain and supports CDMA, GSM, EVDO,
LTE, HSPA+ and WCDMA technologies.
How does it work?
1. The outside antenna receives week signal from base station and sends it to the
booster through outside cable. The booster can filter and amplify the signal. Then
the inside antenna broadcasts the improved signal to indoor space to enhance the
cellphone signal.
2. When user’s mobile terminal transmits, the booster amplifies the cellphone’s
signal from the inside antenna and sends it to outside antenna through cables.
The amplified signal will be transmitted to the wireless provider’s tower. The
whole process of the communication link is established.
Why use a Booster?
Someone using mobile devices cannot connect to the base station signal; experiences
call failure, or are unable to connect to the internet. Which this occurs, it is generally due
to one of two reasons:
1. Location of the nearest cell tower – cell towers are situated to provide broad coverage;
however, there are many areas in which signal strength may be reduced by
topographic features or by local government restrictions on the height or placement of
the towers themselves. Rural areas generally have fewer cell towers than urban
regions.
2. Natural and man-made obstructions – signal strength can also be negatively affected
by trees, hills, buildings, weather, and other obstructions. You may be relatively close
to a cell tower but still unable to make a call. This often occurs in homes and other
buildings in which stucco, concrete or metal walls may block the signal.
Easily solve these problems by installing a SolidRF booster.
Overview of installation
1. Select installation location away from direct sunlight, heat, water and proper
ventilation. Do NOT install in a sealed enclosure.
2. Select a location on the roof of the building to install the Outside Antenna. Use a
cell phone in test mode to find the strongest signal from the cell tower. Visit
www.solidrftech.com to find test mode function for your particular cell phone.
3. Run the Outside Antenna cable to the Signal Booster and attach it to the connector
labeled “Outside Antenna” on the Signal Booster. Run the Inside Antenna cable first
to the splitter then to the Signal Booster and attach it to the connector labeled “Inside
Antenna” on the Signal Booster. Lightning Surge Protection is recommended for all
in-building installations.
4. Before powering up the Signal Booster, verify that both the Outside Antenna and the
Inside Antenna are connected and check that all connections are tight.
Note: Be
careful when plugging the connectors in so as not to bend the center pins on the
connectors
5. The Signal Booster has been packaged with the gain control knobs adjusted to the
.
highest gain position. If any of the lights are not green, please refer to page 6 – Band
Lights.
Warning: Connecting the Signal Booster directly to a cell phone with use of an adapter
will damage the cell phone and/or the Signal Booster.
