VERIZON NETWORK BOOSTER INSTALL

This situation has been a major frustration for years. Personally, despite being surrounded by VZN towers (all within 3 miles of my residence), I can barely obtain enough signal to complete calls while inside my condominium. It is my understanding that the combination of local topography and construction materials used in building homes bear responsibility for most cases of poor indoor cellular signal reception. I admit to not being a “techie”, but I have read a lot during the past couple of years concerning the pros and cons of femtocells. If more users demand support for voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi), carriers would be forced to listen – or risk being overtaken by other competing services and business models. We as end users should start demanding more optimized dual mode handset support from the carriers – and start using more of the 3rd party voice over Wi-Fi services on capable phones.

It does not cost much to add Wi-Fi capabilities to phones these days – and while voice quality may be a concern over Wi-Fi, again, with recent developments around Quality of Serive (QoS) and truly voice optimized handset designs (as opposed to merely “voice capable” handsets), I believe it is time to start demanding more from the carriers – instead of being forced to install yet another piece of technology which is designed to primarily serve their problem of poor coverage and offloading capacity to broadband networks. Notice how tepid the response has been by some of the major carriers to fully embrace dual mode phones and integrated voice over Wi-Fi services. Of course their primary concern is revenue streams. Other than T-Mobile, there is no carrier willing to seriously consider building business models with Wi-Fi. With Wi-Fi there is no need to worry about signal strength in the house (or even at work). There would be no need for Femtocells if the carriers figured out a way of leveraging Wi-Fi which is ubiquitous.
