Signal Amp?

[W. Grant Dade]

It has been a while since my last post but I have a question. I know a few of you have used an amplifier and I was wonder what would be one of the best brands.

Thanks

The "2013 Mobile Data Q&A Thread" a little ways down this topic has a pretty good on-going discussion of this in context of mobile data. The context is important in answering your question, I think. Also, Maximum Signal, which advertises on StormTrack, are Good People when it comes to information on this topic.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

As far as I'm concerned there are only two brands to choose from. I have a Wilson setup, and there is Maximum Signal. As far as I know, neither will operate on the bandwidth used by most 4G service, but this is not an issue as if you can receive a 4G signal, you probably don't need a booster in that location.

Also, there are some new rules and FCC requirements that have hit recently involving cell booster mfgr's (and owners). I wouldn't be terribly concerned about this right now, but in the future a decision today could have an impact tomorrow. If you search stormtrack you will probably find the thread that discusses this matter somewhat and points to the FCC doc describing the new rules.
