Beyond access: how to achieve good communication with the city

The warmer the weather, the more time you want to spend outside the city. However, there is one small problem: the farther is the same “countryside”, the more chances to remain without communication and mobile Internet during the holidays. Resource Banki figured out what to do if the relationship with the city is bad.

Good report

To some this will seem an exercise in futility, but you should start with sending a complaint to the operator. This can be done via phone call, through the company’s website or through the smartphone app, if there is one. Operators are attentive to the requests of subscribers, relevant to the work of the network.

As reported in a press-service of “Beeline”, the operator responds to all requests is “it doesn’t matter, they are out of town or out of the region — and trying to consider them in its development plan and upgrade the network. Of course, first and foremost, modernization and development of networks occur in areas of maximum traffic generation”. In a similar way and answered in “the Megaphone”: the company builds a base station on the basis of the customer’s needs and economic feasibility”.

It can be assumed that the operator will react faster to appeal from the settlement of city type than from the summer resident of a small garden community. On the other hand, you can not wait for the sea weather, and while the major cellular company “swinging” in deciding whether to extend the chain in the right direction, to try to deal with the problem yourself.

Raise “the voice”

So, what can you do if in the country there is no communication? The easiest way — boost the signal. When phones were big, many of them had a separate connector for the antenna. All you need to do if the phone stopped to catch the network — to put on the roof antenna and using cable to connect it to the phone directly. Today, the phone left only the connectors for headphones and charging.

However, the antenna on the roof to supply all else. Here only need to connect it not to the apparatus, and to a special amplifier inside the house. To acquire such a device, ask about it in a phone shop. Or order in the store on the website of the operator.

Another way is to go to the salon when your operator and find out what can be done to enhance the signal. Or try to order a signal booster in online store operator. But at the time of preparation of this material the right products could only be found in the online store “MegaFon” for 7 999 rubles.

However, there is a way to save. In other outlets the GSM booster can be purchased much cheaper. If the task is to save as much as possible, to order the booster you can on the well-known Chinese trading platform in around 2 000. When purchasing, pay attention to the range in which the device operates: voice communication works in the ranges of 900 and 1 800 MHz.

To be completely sure that the closest to your base station is operating in the desired range, go to the smartphone’s settings and under “Mobile network” change the priority on 2G or GSM. Open the Phone app on your smartphone and dial *#0011# to enter service menu (depending on the device combination can be another: *#*#4636#*#* or *#*#197328640#*#*).

In the opened window you can see which communication standard is used. If in the upper part of the no labels GSM900 or GSM1800, pay attention to the BCCH parameter. Its value is from 1 to 124 means that the base station operates in the 900 MHz range, 512 886 — 1 800 MHz, from 974 to 1,024 — again 900 MHz (EGSM900).

IPhone owners can check the standard when typing on the keyboard of your phone *3001#12345#*. In the opened menu you must select the GSM Cell Environment, then the GSM Cell Info. The network frequency is determined by the value of the parameter ARFCN.

Access to the Network

The presence of voice does not mean that will work mobile data. However, if 3G or LTE is present accurately, but because of the terrain or remoteness of the house from the base station works very poorly, the situation can be corrected in a better way. Even if mobile Internet works well, with remote antennas, the network speed can be increased twice.

Such antennas there are in the shops almost all mobile operators, and finding them in online stores is not difficult. The principle of operation of such a device is quite simple: the USB modem is attached inside the antenna with a special connector and connects via cable to your computer. The solution is inexpensive and quite effective.

Some stores are from sets by which the house can create a wireless network. They consist, essentially, of antenna, USB modem and Wi-Fi router. Few people know that some models of routers let you connect to existing USB connector 3G – or 4G-modem from the operator. So, no need to buy expensive kit. All its components can be purchased separately.

The only thing to consider — not all models of routers are able to work with operator “whistles”. So before you buy, read the compatible models. This information usually is on the manufacturers ‘ websites. As example, the table of compatible Zyxel. However, such a set is required only if you want to take the wireless network a large area. If you need to “deploy” Wi-Fi in a small room, you can take a small USB modem with a router function. All you need to do is to connect it to the antenna.

In any case, when choosing the device pay attention to the presence in the modem extra connectors for the antenna. As for the antenna, its the package need to sign a long USB cable and a power cord to connect to the modem.

Beware of Scam

Be wary of “providers,” whose leaflets are hung on the pillars of settlements, it is argued that a company can spend online in one day without wiring. As a rule, a “provider” merely establishes a 3G or LTE antenna with USB-modem from one of the operators of the Quartet, is connected to a Wi-Fi router. The cost of services is exorbitant, and the list performed during the equipment installation works can be included item type “scanning area for the presence of signal”, is estimated at a few thousand.
