Which cell signal booster to choose for Moscow?

Question

Computer networks

Hello!
Faced the problem of a weak GSM signal in an apartment near the Moscow Ring Road. Thinking about a cell signal booster. Does it make sense in such a design within an apartment building and which amplifier is better to choose (preferably with 3G, LTE)? After analyzing the information on the Internet, I found only reviews on the Chinese, but I would like something branded. In general, help out with advice =)

Answer 1

A normal amplifier consists of 2 parts: 1 part is placed outside the apartment and sent to the base station. In a cheap version of the amplifier, it looks like a television antenna. Part 2 is installed in the apartment. It is a block in a metal case and its antenna. These parts are connected by a special high-frequency cable, but a regular coaxial cable is also suitable (in the case of gsm only). 3g and 4g have other frequencies - you need a special. cable.
The amplifier is selected in accordance with the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house / apartment.
Find out on the map where you have the nearest base station of the operator, in the line of sight, preferably. Direct the first part to the station, the second - to the center of the apartment or house.
Amplifiers can be bought at any store specializing in antennas, satellite equipment. Shops in Moscow will not prompt.
Z.Y. If you have a stable Internet, I recommend taking a femtocell from any operator. I personally have 2 pieces standing at the facility, they only hang once a month, the sound is clear and of high quality.

Answer 2

May I come in with my question? It pretty much closely echoes the theme of the TS.
What would you recommend for a country house? It is desirable to strengthen gsm / 3g. The fact is that summer cottages are located in a lowland and even just a tilipon does not work stably. When you need the Internet, then it's a real disaster.
What is interesting: the repeater tower, it seems, is not far at all, but the signal lives its own life. On the lower streets, the signal is excellent, on the upper streets it weakens. On the extreme sections - a paragraph.
Once upon a time I saw a miracle device. They called it a passive antenna to me. The bottom line is this: in the village, in general, cellular communications were then caught very poorly. The owner of this miracle antenna, the house, was generally in a dead zone. But he put this passive antenna (it was not powered) and at a distance of a couple of meters from the antenna, the signal jumped to the maximum. With the removal, the signal fell at a furious progression. Those. Moving away from this antenna by 5 meters, the signal disappeared again.
In general, I would like something similar.
