Boosted Coverage Area
The boosted coverage area depends on the original cell phone signal coming into your home. The stronger the external signal is, the bigger the coverage area for the signal booster will be.
A cell phone signal is measured by decibel (or dB for short). The closer the negative dB number is to 0, the stronger the signal will be. A -89 dB or lower is considered to be a strong signal while a -100 dB or higher is considered to be a weak signal.
At the best possible original signal strength, the Home Room can boost the cover area by up to 1500 sq. ft., the Home MultiRoom can boost the signal by up to 5000 sq. ft. and the Home Complete can boost the signal by up to 7500 sq. ft.
You can take a look at the complete boosted coverage area for all three products below.
Home Room:
- -89 dB and lower (or around 5 bars): Up to 1500 sq. ft.
- -90 dB (or around 3 to 4 bars): Up to 1000 sq. ft.
- -100 dB (or around 1 to 2 bars): Up to 150 sq. ft.
- No Signal: signal booster unlikely to work
Home MultiRoom:
- -89 dB and lower (or around 5 bars): Up to 5000 sq. ft.
- -90 dB (or around 3 to 4 bars): Up to 3500 sq. ft.
- -100 dB (or around 1 to 2 bars): Up to 1000 sq. ft.
- No Signal: signal booster unlikely to work
Home Complete:
- -89 dB and lower (or around 5 bars): Up to 7500 sq. ft.
- -90 dB (or around 3 to 4 bars): Up to 4000 sq. ft.
- -100 dB (or around 1 to 2 bars): Up to 2000 sq. ft.
- No Signal: signal booster unlikely to work
Max dB Gain with Boost
All three boosters will also add “gain” to the original signal. The Home Complete is the best in this category as it adds 72 dB, followed by the Home MultiRoom as it adds 65 dB. Lastly, the Home Room adds 60 dB to the original signal.
Impedance
All three weBoost Cell Phone Signal Booster Kits have an impedance of 75 Ohm. For the uninformed, impedance measures the amount of resistant going up against the electrical flow. In this case, the performance of all boosters are identical.
Connectors
For connectors, the we Boost Home Room use SMA Female/F-Female. Both the we Boost Home Multi Room and we Boost Home Complete use F-Female.
Power
Both the Home Room and Home MultiRoom use the same amount of power of 8 W at 110-240V AC, 50-60 Hz. The Home Complete uses more energy with a rating of 20 W at 110-240V AC, 50-60 Hz.
Professional Installation
Only the Home Complete comes with a professional installation option, which is available in all 50 states of the USA. If you are interested, you can purchase the option on Amazon with the following link:
FCC
All three products have been FCC approved for their respective max gain. As we stated above, the maximum gain is 60 dB for the Home Room, 65 dB for the Home MultiRoom and 72 dB for the Home Complete.
Warranty
All three products come with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty. weBoost is also providing 30-day money-back guarantee.
