The Mobile30 works with two antennas:
An inside antenna that communicates with your cell phone. An outside antenna that communicates with the cell tower. Signals sent from a cell tower are received by the outside antenna, amplified by the booster and then sent to your cell phone via the inside antenna. When your phone transmits, the signal is sent to the inside antenna, and then sent to the cell tower via the outside antenna. A minimum amount of cellular reception is required for the Mobile30 to work properly. Cellular signal strength is measured in dBm, an abbreviation of the radio power per milliwatt. A minimum of -100 dBm is required. Signal readings usually appear as a negative number (for example, -85). The stronger the signal, the closer it gets to zero. See graph below.
