The antenna on the roof receives the mobile signal from all operators, and sends it down the cable to the StellaHome repeater.
The StellaHome repeater amplifies the signal and sends it around the house.
All mobile devices can now communicate with this enhanced signal.
Frequencies
There are several frequency options for the StellaHome repeater. Choose to boost just one frequency like 900MHz for voice calls, or all 5 mobile frequencies, enabling 2G, 3G ,4G and 5G. The more frequencies added, the better the coverage and the higher the data speeds.
Coverage
The StellaHome repeater kit contains 1 internal antenna. This antenna provides 30M2 X 30M2 of coverage in open space.
However, this is only in open space. In practice, it equates to about 2-5 sized rooms in a typical building layout. The coverage depends on the type of walls inside the building.
Concrete or metal insulated walls reduce the coverage, whereas plaster board walls and wide open internal spaces allow an increase in coverage.
See building A and building B above.
All the walls are concrete block and the doors are wooden.
Building A: In this building, just one antenna is sufficient. The signal will pass through the doors to the three smaller rooms.
Building B: This building has a corridor separating the rooms. To achieve maximum coverage with only one antenna, the antenna is placed in the corridor as shown. Notice the reduction of signal in all the rooms. Interior concrete block walls reduce coverage significantly. If more reliable coverage is required in the rooms, more antennas will be necessary. We recommend an iRepeater in this case.
A Closer Look
Installation
A “loose” installation is recommended to begin with.
Install the outdoor panel antenna in a location where there is good mobile signal (usually this is on the roof).
Using the supplied 12m cable, connect it to the antenna and bring it inside the house to the StellaHome repeater.
Attach this cable to the right hand side of the repeater. Then attach the indoor panel antenna to the repeater.
Plug in the power supply.
*All kits in the StellaHome family are supplied with an exterior panel antenna, except the Stellahome 5 band, which uses an exterior Yagi antenna.
