Cellular building systems are made up of
the following components.
The two major problems occurring in
building related to cell signal reception.
Either of these problems can usually besolved. The harder of the two problems is
when a building is in a bad signal area.
Usually if there is some signal, there is
hope even when it is very low. In
situations where there is no signal and no
coverage you are out of luck. Cellular
amplifiers can not create something from
nothing.
Often in commercial buildings there is no
signal, but when you step outside there is
plenty. This is caused by the construction
materials of the building. Concrete walls
and metal roofs block cell signal. This is
usually a very easy problem to remedy.
Basically you have to pipe good cell signal
from outside, inside the building and re-
broadcast it.
No matter what the problem is with your
building, bad location or construction
materials, it is best to have someone that
knows what they are doing to design and
calculate antenna placements. Antennas
require separation between themselves,
outside antenna from inside antennas and
inside antennas from themselves. If
antennas are not place properly then their
signals will oscillate between themselves.
This is similar to microphones on a stage.
If you get them to close they will feedback
and squeal. If cellular antennas are too
close they will oscillate and create noise
for the cell tower and possibly shut the
cell tower down causing many problems.
The separation process is not
complicated, but there are rules to follow.
