MSS Mobile Signal Solutions | Ofcom Approved Mobile Phone Signal Boosters in UK

In the UK, the most common reason for poor mobile signal and the need for a mobile phone signal booster is foiled backed insulation. Insulation keeps heat in, but it also keeps microwave, GSM, 3G and 4G signals out. Installing an outdoor antenna lets you send the signal for each network to the booster system, which boosts each individual network to the level required. This is an Ofcom requirement. The engineers also install a DAS (Distributed Antenna System), which is a network of indoor antennas that will spread the signal to areas all over the building. Once the boosters are connected to the DAS you will have signal throughout the building, with over 90% coverage in most cases.

Yes, phone signal boosters can help improve cell phone reception in areas with weak signals. They work by amplifying the existing signal, allowing users to make and receive calls or access data with greater reliability.

Yes, it is legal to install a mobile signal booster in UK, provided that it meets the Ofcom regulatory requirements.

5G is the 5th generation mobile network, 5G wireless technology is designed to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, have more reliability and deliver higher performance and improved efficiency.

Widespread UK nationwide 5G has been here since May 2019. If you have 5G currently and it doesn’t seem to be making a difference to your mobile phone speed, your mobile network either has very little coverage in your area, or the signal is not penetrating indoors and you need a 5G signal booster.

5G travels over a higher frequency and can carry a heavier data load, but loses power over distance and becomes weaker as it travels through membranes such as walls, insulation and metal structures.

The benefits of 5G include it being unified and designed with extra carrier capacity to carry more data across the network without overloading. This allows greater speed and more users on the network without overloading it, and with negligible latency. These advancements will enable and inspire next-generation 5G user experiences. New business models will emerge and new industry will follow as a result, delivering new services for consumers.

4G booster systems are very sufficient for everyday cellular requirements.. The system can be designed to be 5G compatible and hence can be upgraded at any time by swapping out the main amplifier or simply adding 5G to the 4G Booster in place.

4G or LTE network is known as the fourth generation of mobile networks, and is a major step up from 3G which is nationwide. The difference between 3G and 4G is that everything you do using 3G is faster and smoother using 4G. Faster internet connections for mobile devices, Web pages load quicker, you can download content faster and streaming video and music becomes easier and without lags.

The term 4G stands for ‘fourth generation’ and refers to mobile network technology. You need to have 4G compatible phones. At launch Apple and Samsung lead the way, having the first 4G compatible phones on the market. Now there are a large variety of 4G compatible mobile phone handsets to help you connect to the internet faster than ever before.

Yes, cell phone signal boosters can effectively improve reception in areas with weak signal. They work by amplifying the existing signal, providing a stronger and more reliable connection.

The UK’s first 3G network was launched in 2003. It uses the 2100Mhz frequency range which enables carriers to offer a host of services to consumers. Mobile devices could now make video calls, browse mobile friendly websites and social media applications making the most of smartphone technology at the time.

3G speed is still sufficient to allow most mobile users to work effectively, check emails, browse and essentially everything outside of heavy streaming such as live gaming with high quality graphics cards.

We will identify the areas where a signal booster can be located and the internal antenna needed to boost the signal.

The legality of using a signal booster depends on the country and the type of signal being boosted. In some countries, it is legal to use a signal booster for cellular signals, while in other countries it may be illegal. It is best to check with local laws and regulations to find out if it is allowed.
