LTE Cellular Amplifiers

If you need to strengthen the LTE cellular signals in your home, then an LTE cellular amplifier can provide you with great results. These devices strengthen the cellular signals in the area so that the associated devices communicate with the cellular network more reliably. Users in certain areas may find that their devices do not have sufficient signal strength. For these users, cellular amplifiers represent possibly the best option for strengthening their signals. This is often the case in rural areas that are located a far distance away from cellular towers.

Many alarm systems use cellular communication to send signals to an interactive monitoring platform like Total Connect 2.0 or Alarm.com. This is necessary for ensuring that signals are received by the central station and/or the end user. Cellular monitoring is excellent, as it provides reliable connectivity that is not interrupted power outages. Cellular service almost never goes down or becomes unavailable. The same cannot be said for IP connectivity, which sometimes goes down or becomes unavailable for seemingly no reason.

But poor cellular signals can really put a damper on cellular alarm monitoring. Weak signals must be strengthened so that the system can communicate reliably. This is very important for receiving the help that you need during alarm events. Cellular amplifiers will improve the signal strength so that the device communicates more reliably. The end user will no longer have to worry about poor signal strength affecting the performance of their security system

Cellular amplifiers usually consist of a base unit and an antenna that is mounted on the roof. Devices that are used with the cellular amplifier will need to be within a certain distance of the base unit. Depending on the size of the home, the base unit may be able to cover the entire property. But a cellular amplifier may not cover the entirety of a larger property. This is okay, as long as the alarm system is within range of the base unit.

An advantage to using a cellular amplifier is that it will work with alarm systems and any other devices that connect with the designated cellular network. This includes smartphones. If you find that you are frequently experiencing dropped calls while you are at home, then you can add a cellular amplifier to strengthen the cellular signals and ensure that your phone works more reliably. This is why cellular amplifiers are often preferred over cellular antennas. A cellular antenna will only work with a single connected device.

Cellular amplifiers are considered plug and play devices. Once the device is plugged in and the antenna is installed, any device connected with the associated cellular network will automatically have its signals strengthened. Please note that most cellular amplifiers work across a designated network. For example, one cellular amplifier might only strengthen signals for devices using the AT&T LTE Network. Another might work with the Verizon LTE Network. Make sure you get an amplifier that works with your associated devices.
