In the Philippines, if your area struggles with weak mobile signals, investing in a mobile signal booster may be the best solution. The primary cause of weak signals is insufficient base station coverage, followed by signal obstruction caused by buildings or trees. Whether you’re a regular consumer or a contractor working on commercial projects, you may have questions about choosing the right mobile signal booster or fiber optic repeater. Below are Lintratek’s practical recommendations to guide you through the selection process.
1. Identify the Target Frequency Bands
The fundamental principle of a mobile signal booster is to amplify the target frequency bands used by your mobile operator. Mobile Signal boosters in the market range from single-band to five-band models. As the number of bands increases, the price also rises. Therefore, confirming the required frequency bands is essential to select the right product.
Here’s a list of the frequency bands used by major carriers in the Philippines:
Globe Telecom | |
Generation | Bands(MHz) |
2G | B3 (1800), B8 (900) |
3G | B1 (2100), B8 (900) |
4G | B28(700), B8 (900),B3 (1800),B1 (2100),B40 (2300), B41 (2500),B38(2600) |
5G | N28(700), N41(2500), N78(3500) |
Smart Communications | |
Generation | Bands(MHz) |
2G | B3 (1800), B8 (900) |
3G | B1 (2100), B8 (900), B5(850) |
4G | B28(700), B5 (850),B3 (1800),B1(2100),B40 (2300), B41 (2500) |
5G | N28(700), N41(2500), N78(3500) |
Dito Telecommunity | |
Generation | Bands(MHz) |
4G | B28(700), B34 (2000),B1 (2100), B41 (2500) |
5G | N78(3500) |
2. Choose the Right Mobile Signal Booster Based on Frequency Bands
Since the Philippines uses multiple 4G frequency bands across different regions, it’s essential to identify the target frequency bands before selecting a mobile signal booster. Based on Lintratek’s extensive experience, choosing a booster that supports the appropriate 4G bands is recommended, as most modern devices operate on 4G technology.
