In this post, we’ll take you through the step-by-step process of a signal booster installation, from initial consultation to post-installation support, so you know exactly what to expect.

Mobile signal boosters are an essential tool for improving connectivity in areas with weak signal strength. However, the UK’s communications regulator, Ofcom, has set strict regulations to ensure the integrity of mobile networks and prevent interference. Let’s take a deeper look at Ofcom’s regulations and the requirements that make a signal booster license-exempt, and examine why CEL-FI signal boosters by Nextivity are currently the only legal option in the UK.

This time we want to talk about the technicalities, and legalities, of boosting multiple mobile phone networks. Let's start with a bit about network providers. There are four major UK network providers: Vodafone, Three, O2 and EE. There are many more which piggyback on their signals (around 30 piggybacking companies across the UK). Officially, they're known as Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) ... nice and easy to remember! The good news here is that you can boost these MVNO signals by simply boosting the parent network ... so for Sky Mobile you'd boost O2 and for BT Mobile it would be EE. Here's a full list of all UK MVNOs if you want to see who the parent network is for your specific MVNO. Hold on, what was the question? Oh yes, can I boost all networks or just one network?

Poor mobile phone signal can cause all manner of problems for modern businesses. It’s not an issue that’s simply going to go away either. In fact, it’s likely to worsen as the 5G rollout gathers pace (check out our blog on where we’re at with 5G for more info on that). So, what can you do when your business is hampered by naff phone signal?!
