All you need to know about Radio Frequency cell phone repeater – What is a flange connection?

by Petra Carbon Petra Carbon

Has it ever happened to you that while talking to someone on a cell phone, the connectivity gets cut off automatically? Well, if it ever happened at your home, it’s nothing that worrying, but if it’s happening frequently, like dropped calls or slow download and upload speed, then you should be looking to improve that situation. Normally that happens due to poor connection in your area and it will continue unless you install an RF repeater or the Radio Frequency repeater.

 

How Radiofrequency repeater works?

 

Let’s take a glance at a number of the attributes of repeaters and the way they'll help to boost the cell signal in weaker areas.

 

A Radiofrequency repeater is also known as a cellular repeater, which uses a three-part system to capture the weak signals and then amplify or repeat that signal to strengthen it. Then the signal is broadcasted to the areas in a very building or commercial space where the signal is weak. 

 

Radiofrequency repeaters are utilized in many various industries to boost in-building cell signal, such as

 

  • Government buildings
  • Schools
  • Stores
  • Offices

 

Radiofrequency repeaters also work along with the nearby DAS or the distributed antenna systems to boost the cellular coverage in a neighborhood. These repeaters can strengthen weak signals significantly.

 

What is DAS?

 

DAS comes in 4 different forms, 

 

  1. Active
  2. Passive 
  3. Hybrid  
  4. Digital

There are alternative wireless connectivity solutions for users with lower capacity needs, but if you are looking for commercial usages, you have to come all the way down to either active or passive DAS.

 

·         In a nutshell, active DAS essentially creates cell signals for specific networks and carriers in the areas where it’s weak or non-existent. 

  • Passive DAS works with the existing signal, irrespective of network or carrier, to spice up and strengthen signal up to 32 times in those areas. 

 

Why does one need a mobile phone Repeater?

 

Some factors that are accountable for the poor cellular connectivity are,

 

  • Cell tower distance
  • Environmental elements like trees and mountains, and building materials 
  • Metal, 
  • Glass
  • Concrete

 

A Radio Frequency repeater can improve 3G and 4G LTE signal strength between your mobile devices and nearby cell towers. Very similar to a megaphone, the RF signal repeater boosts the performance of the existing cellular signal.

 

Passive DAS and RF repeaters significantly lower the value of boosting the cellular signal. The installation of an active DAS can cost between $2-$5 per area unit for one carrier and $5-$12 per area unit for multiple carriers. The complete DAS installations can take up to a year or more.

 

Repeater technology offers a more economical solution for businesses and huge buildings. Passive DAS installations are a fraction of the value of Active DAS and may be completed in as little as every week to a month. These commercial-grade cellular amplifiers boost the signal for everybody within the building irrespective of cell carrier and improve data speeds and call quality for all devices.

 

What is flange connection?

 

Flange connection is a system or more likely a removable joint that helps to fix two pipelines. It could either be the fitting of the pipes or adding flange gaskets between two pipes. After the whole process, the pipes get tightened for proper functioning.

 

Flange management includes,

 

  • Plate flange connection
  • Slip-on flange connection
  • Weld neck flange connection
  • Socket flange connection etc.
