Booster System Installation Examples
Step 1. Installation of Outdoor Antenna
1.1 How to find the location with the strongest received signal
The booster's main function is to improve a weak RF signal inside a house, office or any other
indoor area. The received outdoor downlink signal strength directly affects the efficiency of
the indoor coverage. That is why it is crucially important to install the antenna at a good
location and point it properly towards a tower where signal reception is the strongest.
There are two methods that can be used to find the strongest downlink signal from the local
towers.
• Mobile Phone Method
You can use a mobile to test signal strength near the window or on the top of the building. The
number of bars on network indicator will define the approximate strength of the received
signal. Normally, the roof of the building is the best place to receive the strongest signal. As
shown in the graph below, you need to test the signal in points from A to E, and select a place
with the best signal strength for outdoor installation. It is recommended to use a mobile app
that can display signal level, since it is more accurate than checking signal bars.
