Cell phone coverage is important now days. We choose providers that offer the best coverage where we live and work. Historically, provider choice was all we could do to give ourselves the best chance of having coverage at home or office. While this might have proven successful in order to secure coverage in front of our house, that did not promise coverage in all parts of the home especially basements. Today, we can install cell boosters that provide a measurable increase in cell signal strength in parts of homes that had spotty or no coverage at all.

In a recent install, we were able to retrofit a home with a Wilson Cell booster using existing wiring. By using the existing wiring, we did not have to run any new wires which can sometimes mean cutting holes and patching/painting. Utilizing the existing wiring also means less labor costs to complete the job.

The end result of the install was an increase of cell strength from -103 to -63 ( Closer to 0 is better) all the way in the basement office. Coverage went from just enough to think you can take a call to almost better than street level since the antenna was mounted on the roof and pointed directly at the closest cell tower.
