Installation Process

Signal boosters are only effective if they are both legally approved and technically compatible with the networks in use. In Ireland, the law permits mobile signal boosters that meet strict regulatory standards. WaveBoosters supplies only certified and lawful systems.

Compatibility is equally important. Different carriers operate on different frequency bands. In Ireland, the primary providers are Three, Eir, and Vodafone. Selecting a booster that supports the correct frequency bands is essential to achieve optimal results.

We recommend a basic site inspection before any installation. This can be done using tools such as the Network Cell Info Lite app on Android devices, which helps measure outdoor signal strength. For large properties, WaveBoosters offers professional site assessments to determine the ideal placement of antennas and booster units.

For apartments, small houses, or compact offices, a DIY installation is often sufficient.

The process begins by identifying the location with the strongest outdoor signal, typically a rooftop or balcony. The outdoor antenna is mounted in this spot and pointed towards the nearest cell tower. A coaxial cable is then routed into the building and connected to the amplifier, which is placed in a central area indoors. The indoor antenna distributes the improved signal throughout the space.

Once powered, the system should be tested by walking through different rooms and monitoring the signal strength. Minor adjustments to the outdoor antenna direction may further improve performance.

DIY installation usually takes less than two hours, requires only basic tools, and provides a cost-effective entry point into improved mobile connectivity.

Large facilities—such as schools, hotels, hospitals, mines, and multinational corporate offices—require a more advanced approach. In such cases, WaveBoosters offers a comprehensive, end-to-end service.

The process starts with a detailed on-site survey conducted by expert technicians. Using precision signal meters, our team maps out weak and strong areas across the site. From this analysis, engineers design a custom system that may include multiple high-gain outdoor antennas, industrial-grade amplifiers, and a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) to ensure consistent coverage indoors.

Installation involves mounting and aligning outdoor antennas with cell towers, securing amplifier units in technical areas, and deploying a network of indoor antennas connected by low-loss cables and splitters. Once installed, the system is rigorously tested and optimised, eliminating dead zones and ensuring all networks perform reliably.

Finally, WaveBoosters provides clients with a full system report, warranty documentation, and basic training for in-house staff. Depending on complexity, corporate installations may take from one to seven days.

Regardless of scale, every installation must be validated through performance testing. This includes measuring signal gain, assessing call quality, and checking data speed across multiple networks.

For consumer purchases, WaveBoosters offers a 30-day money-back guarantee and free delivery on most orders. For corporate clients, installations come with a three-year warranty on amplifiers, a one-year workmanship guarantee, and long-term after-sales support.

Common issues, such as oscillation (feedback between antennas) or weak incoming signal, are addressed through professional troubleshooting. Our customer service team is on hand to provide remote guidance, upgrades, or replacement options if required.

WaveBoosters stands out not only as a supplier but as a trusted industry partner. Every product we supply is fully certified—legal, safe, and compliant. Every system we install is designed for long-term resilience and is 4G/5G-ready. Our reputation spans households, SMEs, and corporate giants across Ireland, reflecting a proven ability to deliver results where they matter most.

Installing a mobile signal booster is one of the most effective ways to resolve poor connectivity. For small properties, a DIY setup is practical, fast, and affordable. For larger environments, a professional installation is indispensable, ensuring consistent coverage, regulatory compliance, and system longevity.

Whether you are improving signal in a home, a small office, or a multinational headquarters, WaveBoosters offers the right solution—designed, installed, and supported with the highest level of expertise.
