How Can Cell Phone Signal be Improved in Rural Areas?

Why Difficult to Get Good Cell Phone Signal in Rural Areas?

So many of us rely on our cell phones to help us get through the day. We use them to stay connected with friends and family, to research, send business emails, and for emergencies.

Not having a strong, reliable cell phone signal can be a nightmare. This is especially true for those who live in rural areas, remote locations, and farms.

The main factors that interfere with cell phone signal strength are:

Tower Distance

If you live in a rural area, you’re probably miles away from cell towers. Cell signal is strongest at the source (the cell tower) and weakens the farther it travels, hence the weak signal.

There are many tools you can use to find the nearest tower. You can use websites like CellMapper or apps like OpenSignal.

Mother Nature

Usually, houses in remote areas are surrounded by trees, mountains, hills, or a combination of the three. These geographical features block or weaken cell phone signal. As the signal travels through those obstacles to get to your phone antenna, it loses strength.

Building Material

The building material used to build your house could be the reason for poor cell phone signal. Material like brick, metal, tinted glass, and insulation can block out the signal.

How Can Cell Phone Signal be Improved in Rural Areas?

A signal booster (also known as cellular repeater or amplifier), in the cell phone industry, is a device used for boosting the cell phone reception to the local area by the usage of a reception antenna, a signal amplifier, and an internal rebroadcast antenna.
