If you're operating in the Mhz band, then you'll need a different antenna. And of course, a good bi-directional amplifier is key. Hope that helps, but I'd say a solution like this, will provide you coverage you are looking for without going to the top of the hill.
Your ideas and suggestions on how to identify local cell towers in Belize would be helpful. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated. Specifically ask them for the frequency and azimuth of the nearest tower. As for height, how high do you need walk up the hill before you see any signal strength? That would be roughly the minimum height of the antenna you would need to install. And yes, transmission happens in relatively straight lines. The good news is the lower frequencies like MHz, travel farther since they are not weakened attenuated as much by obstacles in the line of sight path like buildings and trees.
As for the numbers , and they represent the various cellular frequency bands in megahertz which are highly regulated by each country's respective authority as to who can use them and their actual frequency allocation within that cellular frequency band. Hope that helps and good luck! This is a very common problem in rural Canada, even just outside towns or cities. There's signal immediately outside these few acres, in the to db range recorded with a cell phone with below-average poor antenna , so I'm confident a tower and booster would work, though I'm not sure about covering several acres with good signal.
I'm thinking of putting an antenna in place but the tower is hidden behind a hill and I can only get reception if I climb up the hill beside my house. The problem is that there, the cable would be a lot longer than 20 ft. I don't know how high I would have to have the tower to get a straight line over the hill between my house and the tower. Does transmission happen in a straight line? What do the and figures represent? And thank you for your innovative idea!
I know this is a more-than-basic question, but I have to ask. What method did you use to get high enough to assemble the tower? My house is in a small, steep valley where cell reception is zero at the house but nearly full bars if I climb a tree about feet from my house up the hill.
Sorry didn't finish my last question. Is feet too far to run cable to an antenna? I don't think a 20 foot tower would be high enough to get direct signal to the nearest cell tower. I live at the bottom of a steep narrow canyon. The nearest cell phone tower is on top of a tall hill surrounding the canyon. I currently have no signal and no direct line of site from my home to the cell tower because of the surrounding hills.
Will your solution work for me or will I need to build a remote tower at the top of the hill that will capture the signal from the main tower and from there transfer the signal to my home? Now as noted in the article above I used 6 feet poles and this is manageable. However as noted by the comments above, someone tried using 10 feet poles and then that became very challenging. So if you can't find 6 feet poles, then have someone cut a 12 feet pole into two halves and just get them to re-thread the pole where it was cut.
Then I installed two brackets on the side of the cabin with a bigger pipe in the ground below. Next I attached the antenna and antenna cable to the top of one 6' pole section and slide that through the two brackets on the side of the cabin from the roof. Using two brackets minimizes the pole tipping one way or the other. After that, I returned to the ground and literally just screwed the other 4 sections together and pushed the pole straight up.
I would recommend putting some thread sealant on the pipe joints to ensure they do not twist off with the wind. It really was not that difficult if you have a helping hand and do it on a day with little to no wind.
It would be interesting if you could attach your cell phone to a drone with the drone camera looking at the cell phone and just fly it up vertically 30 - 40 feet to see where the cell phone just starts to get reception.
I'm willing to bet you don't need to go feet from your home and it's more about increasing the antenna height. Once you go beyond 30 feet in height, it would be good to attach some guide wires at one of the pole couplers to provide additional stability and then attach the guide wires to the building or ground.
All that said, you could go feet with cable if using a lower cellular frequency band of to Mhz. You just need to use an ultra low loss cable like LMR assuming 50 ohm impedance. LMR has a loss of 2db per ' at Mhz, so for feet this would only a loss of 5 db and is very manageable. However, if your cellular frequency is Mhz the cable loss almost doubles to 10 db and then this starts becoming questionable as a solution.
Hope that helps and good luck. Now if the tower is within a 5 mile radius of your location, then there is probably some signal by your home if you go high enough with the outdoor antenna. All we need to make this solution work is a single bar on your cell phone and then this solution described above will increase that to reliable full bars inside your home.
So the million dollar question is how high must one go, for which there is no easy way to find out. I personally like using a drone for this as I've noted in other comments where you fly the drone up to say 30 feet, let it sit there and see if a single bar of coverage can be found. If not, climb to 40 feet and try again or try another location around by the house until a single bar is found. I know various places will rent a drone, if that's an option you wish to consider.
The concept of building a remote tower to act as a bridge for relaying the signal is interesting but in reality not practical nor feasible since this solution needs a stable indoor AC powered environment for all the electronics aspect. Another option would be to purchase the highest gain solution with a 30 day money back guarantee and then install that on a 30 to 40 foot pole to see if that works.
If it does, then do all the cleanup with running the wires inside the house and the likes. Great info, thanks. Hi Al, I really liked your article! I am currently working on a university project where we are looking at creating fast, make-shift cellular networks during the case of a natural disaster. For instance, during the Nepal earthquake, or during the wild fires in Napa Valley that destroyed some towers.
We are wondering whether it would be possible to create a temporary make-shift network for a small number of users, potentially using drones to distribute antennas in a network. I feel like you know a lot about this topic, and was wondering whether you would be willing to jump on a quick phone call with me to discuss this idea. Thanks a lot! Hi, nice setup for boosting your cell phone signals. Just curious what the appropriate cost was for your setup.
There is a 50 feet old radio operator tower on the property about ft from the house. If I put the outside antenna on the tower and then run cable back to the house and the amplifier, will this same system work or will the cable length to the house cut into the effectiveness. I just bought a new home in the mountains which sits in a canyon, there is no cell signals and only one home phone provider to choose from. I've gone without a phone since I moved here in December.
The set up was a little challenging because I did it by myself and had to go up 40 feet to get a signal using 10 foot poles but the struggle was well worth it.
Thanks again for sharing. So I'm thrilled that we found your article. No one else services our home area. After 2. Reading this, it seems like there may be hope! What would be the average cost of building this if we didn't have any of the materials. I've been looking into the WeBoost cell signal boosters, but I didn't know if it would work without the extra antenna?
We have an old TV antenna attached to our Chimney, the 's kind. Would that work? Could I maybe find out how to rig it to work as an antenna?
I am "so so" tech savvy, much further behind that you I work on my computer and smaller things, but nothing this large. Any advice on how to tackle a big project like this for someone who doesn't know the difference in cable types?
Hey Al, thanks for the great article. My problem is similar to some other folks. Our cabin is deep in a heavily wooded area of TN, situated between two ridge lines approximately feet high. We are at the bottom of in the little valley directly between the ridge lines. There are thick woods all around us and covering most of the distance between us and the 8 miles to the nearest AT.
How far can I run the cable from the outdoor antenna to the indoor antenna without fail? I ask this mainly due to happy wife, happy life. She suggested I mount my outdoor antenna pole at the bar. Which is approx ft from the house. My phone signal strength very week in my home so i get poor network connection how to i get good network connections please help me. Al, Thans for posting. It seems to a luddite like me that this is the same thing are doing but that the outdoor antenna is probably not as focussed?
Is that correct? I'm in between 2 mountain ridges but if I can get any signal I assume I can improve on that, but I find due excellent instructions confusing and would rather just use the kit if it's the same thing. Thanks so much. I put the link to the kit below if you dont know what I'm referring to.

Researching Your Needs Step 1 in the process is to find the nearest cell tower to your location and figure out on what frequency band the tower operates on. Buying the Components You Need Your basic list of required components consists of a tower, an outdoor antenna, an indoor antenna, a bi-directional amplifier, and RF cables. Building the Tower With our components in hand, we need to identify our antenna placement locations. Have any questions on how I did it?

The Bitcoin Profit system basically claims to be an automated trading system that can allegedly guarantee to generate you profits from crypto-trades even if the value of the cryptocurrency is actually going down rather than up.
But how do you know whether it is going to go up or down? The system looks for trends, detects whether it believes the cryptocurrency value will rise or fall — and then places trades on your behalf. Does it really work? Sadly the answer to that is NO. The Bitcoin Profit system is no different. After all, why would a binary options broker — a broker that only makes money when others LOSE money — partner themselves with a system that will supposedly enable everybody to profit?
And that just proves that the whole thing is a big fat scam. In fact, some of these fake automated trading systems, like the Bitcoin Aussie system which was first released as The Brit Method have actually been put together by the brokers themselves just to trick people into signing up!
Now whilst there are no real ways to make lots of money online without actually doing anything like the Bitcoin Profit system claims the good news is that if you are prepared to put in some work you can actually make good money online — and I myself am living proof of that. The sad truth is that unfortunately most of the programs promising to help you make money online are scams. But the good news is that even though most of them are indeed scams, there are actually some very good programs in amongst them - some programs that can truly help you to earn money.
And out of all of the legit programs I've seen, the one I would recommend the most to anybody looking to get started online is Commission Academy. In my own opinion, that's the best place to start. I mean don't get me wrong, that kind of money won't just fall into your lap without doing any work But the harder you're willing to work at it, the more you stand to earn with it. So if you're looking to get started but don't know which route you should go down or which program you should join and don't want to waste money on bogus things that don't actually work , then I'd highly recommend checking out Commission Academy first.
