o2 and Vodafone mobile boosters across the UK have been effected by the switch of a narrow band in the 900MHz range between the two of the UK’s largest mobile network providers. The swap has allowed both o2 and Vodafone to have a continuous wider bandwidth rather than the previous narrow bands.
The signal boosters for o2 programmed to operate off the older bands will no longer work and need to be reconfigured, for the newer digital amplifiers like the Multi-boost mobile phone booster thus can be done quiet fast remotely, for the older analog mobile phone boosts like Cel-fi boosters and Huaptec Hi-Boost signal boosters this involves a call to site and a patch added to the software the mobile phone boosters operate on.
The change will effect the booster as it is no longer boosting the proper Vodafone and o2 range, as such one network signal amplifiers like the analog Cel-fi G41 will be particularly at risk or malfunctioning. If you have found the signal boosters has dropped its performance significantly in the recent weeks of months please call Mobile Signal Solutions staff who can help identify whether the frequency band swap is the problem is there is a separate issue causing poor mobile phone signal.
Which type of Booster is best to handle the change?
Signal boosters with remote dial in access and the ability to log in remotely to automatically change the bandwidth are the best to resolve the issue, if you have a maintenance contract contact your account manager who will talk you through the system and how to update the boosters
- The newer frequency ranges will be updated automatically
- The engineer will take a record of the existing configuration for the digital o2 and Vodafone mobile phone signal boosters
- The mobile signal amplifier will be rebooted
- All channels will be linked as after the reboot the system has to delete all the previous configurations
Multiboost and Cel-fi Quatra 4000e are the best place to handle the change. The newer and better Multiboost Pro with a maintenance contract is the best industrial signal booster in the UK at present.

What’s the most important frequency band for a Vodafone booster?
The 800MHz band remains the most important and even with the update to the 900MHz band it will remain the strongest band for signal in theUK. The 800MHz band is ideal for the Huaptec Vodafone mobile phone booster to cover 4G and voice in the UK.
Vodafone and o2 signal boosters can be purchased from Mobile signal solutions, these are self install boosters from manufacturers like Huaptec or commercial signal boosters from Cel-fi, Multiboost Pro and Ericsson which are all designed and installed by our team of nationwide engineers.
