No More Dropped Calls - Say goodbye to hard-to-hear and dropped calls. Using 3G signal boosting, which is the voice and data network in some parts New Zealand. Our booster kits can amplify strong signals outside the building or traces of an existing signal if you're in a remote area or on the road, and rebroadcast them to you. Modern signal boosters feature no noise or distortion to speak of.
Enhanced Emergency Safety - The most important reason to invest in a mobile signal booster? Being safe, and having the abilty to call family or 111 when an emergency may happen.

One of the principal differences between 3G and 4G models is the speed at which they can download files from the internet. A typical 3G phone can connect to the internet at a maximum speed of up to 7Mbps, whereas a 4G phone can do so at theoretical maximum real-world speeds of 20-40Mbps. 3G, an abbreviation of ‘third generation’, 4G, an abbreviation of ‘fourth generation’. It is used to describe the previous generation of common standards in mobile telecommunication networks. Essentially, it meant that devices that were ‘3G ready’ could transfer data at a rate of at least 200 kilobytes per second, which is enough to stream a small video, or download an app. These standards were first implemented in the early 1980’s with 1G analog mobile technology. Now days 4G is best for mobile data and 3G is best for mobile calls and texts within NZ.

The Rural Connectivity Group (RCG), a combined venture between Spark, One NZ, and 2degrees. The the three main telecommunications providers in NZ are building more than 400 mobile cell towers to provide 4G wireless home broadband connectivity in rural areas. This is part of the second phase of the Rural Broadband Initiative (RBI2). With this comes new 4G-only mobile coverage in these areas which customers can use while on the go. The purpose of this fund is to connect rural addresses that had no internet options for home. Most of this new coverage is 4G-only, which allows customers to get set up with wireless broadband easily. Due to the new towers only providing 3G mobile signal, which means that since voice calls have historically requried the 3G network to make calls and texts, some mobile phones will not be able to make voice calls while connected to the new RCG towers. Most 4G capable phones however, can use data and SMS in these areas and will have service bars at the top of the screen. There is also 4G VoLTE, which voice over LTE, it is the next evolution of mobile calling that uses the 4G network for traditional voice calls instead of 3G, most telecommunication providers and ISP's allow for this option on their network in NZ.
