T-Mobile to offer LTE “mini-towers” for homes with connection problems

T-Mobile is taking another crack at solving its connectivity problems with miniature cell towers that subscribers can install in their homes.</p><p>
The 4G LTE CellSpot acts like one of T-Mobile’s regular cell towers, but on a smaller scale. It operates in a range of 3,000 square feet, and allows up to 16 devices on T-Mobile’s network to connect automatically for voice calls (including voice over LTE (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2158640/tmobile-goes-circuitless-in-seattle-with-voice-over-lte-hd-voice.html)), text messages, and data</p><p>
This is one of three solutions T-Mobile offers to subscribers with poor connectivity at home or at work. The carrier’s Wi-Fi CellSpot can route calls and texts over a local Wi-Fi network, while a 4G LTE CellSpot Signal Booster helps amplify a weak signal inside of buildings. The new 4G LTE CellSpot doesn’t require a Wi-Fi network, nor does it need an indoor cellular signal.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3000340/networking-hardware/t-mobile-to-offer-lte-mini-towers-for-homes-with-connection-problems.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
