5G signal boosters enhance connectivity by amplifying weak signals and extending the range of cell towers[9]. These devices typically consist of three main components: an external antenna, an amplifier, and an internal antenna[9]. Coaxial cables connect these components[6][7].
Main Components:
* External Antenna: The external antenna is installed outside the building and captures the existing 5G signal from the nearest cell tower[1]. It is often placed in a high location, such as a rooftop, to optimize signal reception[1][7].
* Amplifier: The amplifier boosts the weak signal captured by the external antenna, strengthening it to ensure better connectivity[1]. It amplifies the signal's strength, ensuring it is powerful enough to penetrate obstacles and cover a larger area[3].
* Internal Antenna: The internal antenna rebroadcasts the amplified signal inside the building, providing better 5G coverage for devices[1]. It distributes the boosted signals across various areas, improving connectivity to devices within its range[3].
