Our expertise lies in enhancing mobile coverage with tailored Nextivity CEL-FI installation services, ensuring you stay seamlessly connected. Let’s explore some common troubleshooting tips to manage poor mobile signals and when you might need a more robust solution.

Solutions for Troubleshooting Common Signal Issues

While none of these methods can permanently solve all mobile signal problems, they may offer temporary relief when you need it most.

• Airplane Mode: Sometimes, a simple reset can do wonders. Turning airplane mode on and then off again can help your device reconnect to a stronger signal. This quick fix is especially useful for addressing common signal issues, as our mobile phones sometimes cling to weaker, external signals. By toggling airplane mode, it acts as a reboot. However, this is less effective if you have no signal at all.

• Update Your Software: Keeping your phone’s software up to date can improve your connectivity. Manufacturers often release updates that address known signal issues, so make sure you aren’t missing out.

• WiFi Calling: If you have access to a stable WiFi connection, WiFi calling is an option worth trying. However, it comes with its own limitations – stability, safety, security, and not all networks support it equally well. While WiFi calling can sometimes help mitigate common signal issues, it still leaves the problem that SMS messages can’t be received. This can lead to frustrations when trying to log in using 2FA or missing important texts from team or family members.

• Switch Providers: If a certain provider doesn’t deliver good signal in your area, switching to another such as O2, EE, Vodafone, or Three could help. But be mindful – changing providers only works for your specific needs. Visitors or customers with different providers may still face poor connectivity

• Move Office: While a drastic solution, relocating could alleviate signal woes if your current location has significant geographic or structural interference. Understandably, though, this isn’t practical for most businesses and is a bit extreme!

In our experience, while these tips might offer some short-term help for common signal issues, they come with inherent drawbacks. For a comprehensive and effective fix, a mobile signal booster is often the best route.

We’ve discussed some of these limitations in greater detail in our other blogs, so feel free to explore those for more insights.

How Signal Boosters Can Help Make Your Building Safer

Benefits of our Nextivity CEL-FI Mobile Signal Boosters

• Reliable, long-term solution to common signal problems: Unlike temporary workarounds, Nextivity CEL-FI boosters provide a stable and consistent solution, ensuring that you don’t have to keep adjusting or troubleshooting your signal issues repeatedly. It is a future proof solution.

• Captures weak signals from outside, amplifies them, and redistributes them where coverage is needed: Nextivity CEL-FI boosters use external antennas to capture even the faintest signals, amplify them to a usable level, and distribute them within your building to provide a strong, consistent connection indoors.

• Significantly improves call quality and data speeds, especially in areas where building materials or geography obstruct signal strength: Thick walls, metal structures, or remote geographic locations can drastically reduce signal quality. CEL-FI boosters are powerful enough to overcome these obstacles, improving call reliability and data transfer rates.

• Tailored to enhance signal for homes, offices, and retail spaces, providing dependable signal enhancement: The CEL-FI systems are versatile and can be customised based on the specific needs of the environment – whether it’s a large commercial building, a small office, or a home – to ensure optimal coverage.

• Reduces the need for temporary workarounds, offering a permanent solution to weak signal issues: With a CEL-FI booster installed, there’s no need for unreliable fixes like relocating within the building or depending on WiFi calling. It delivers a robust, long-lasting solution to keep you connected seamlessly.

• Uses IntelliBoost® Technology: IntelliBoost® Technology is a key differentiator for Nextivity CEL-FI boosters, enabling them to intelligently amplify the signal based on the environment. This technology provides real-time, dynamic adjustments to ensure optimal signal strength and clarity, setting us apart from competitors who rely on less adaptive solutions.

• Boosts Business Productivity: For businesses, improved signal means smoother communication, fewer dropped calls, and stronger data speeds, which can increase overall productivity and efficiency. Reliable connectivity allows employees to stay focused and ensures customers can easily reach you, ultimately benefiting your bottom line.
