1.4 How Cellular Signal Boosters Work
The Force8 booster amplies cellular signals from the nearest tower to phones in a building and from those phones
back to the tower to compensate for weak reception caused by distance, topography, building structure, among other
reasons.
* Performance and coverage area are dependent upon the strength of cell signal
outside of the building and density of structure and materials inside of the building.
