At Mobile Signal Guru, we understand that buying a mobile signal booster can be overwhelming. To make things easier, we’ve compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions about mobile signal boosters in Denmark.
1. What is a mobile signal booster?
A mobile signal booster is a device that improves weak mobile signals. It captures signals from nearby cell towers, amplifies them, and rebroadcasts them indoors. This ensures better call quality, faster mobile internet, and stronger connections.
2. Are mobile signal boosters legal in Denmark?
Yes, mobile signal boosters are legal in Denmark, provided they comply with the following regulations:
- They must be CE-certified (meeting EU standards).
- They should be approved by the Danish Telecommunications Authority.
- They must not interfere with carrier networks.
Always purchase boosters from trusted suppliers like Mobile Signal Guru to ensure compliance.
3. Do I need a mobile signal booster?
You might need a booster if you experience:
- Dropped calls or no network.
- Slow 3G, 4G, or 5G internet speeds.
- Poor signal indoors, especially in basements or rural areas.
If your phone consistently shows fewer than two signal bars, a booster can help.
4. How do mobile signal boosters work?
A signal booster has three main components:
- External Antenna: Captures the weak signal from the nearest cell tower.
- Amplifier: Boosts the strength of the captured signal.
- Internal Antenna: Rebroadcasts the amplified signal indoors.
The process ensures better signal coverage in your home, office, or vehicle.
5. Will a signal booster work with my mobile carrier?
Yes, but ensure the booster supports the frequency bands of your carrier. In Denmark, major carriers like Telia, Telenor, 3 Denmark, and YouSee operate on these bands:
- 800 MHz (Band 20): 4G in rural areas.
- 900 MHz (Band 8): 2G and 3G.
- 1800 MHz (Band 3): 4G in urban areas.
- 2100 MHz (Band 1): 3G in cities.
- 2600 MHz (Band 7): High-speed 4G in dense areas.
Check your carrier’s frequency before purchasing.
6. Are signal boosters compatible with 5G networks?
Yes, many modern signal boosters support 5G along with 3G and 4G networks. Ensure the booster you choose supports the frequency bands used for 5G in Denmark.
7. How much area can a signal booster cover?
Coverage depends on the model and signal strength:
- Small Homes or Apartments: 100-300 square meters.
- Large Homes or Offices: 300-1,000 square meters.
- Industrial Areas or Farms: Up to 5,000 square meters.
Choose a booster based on the size of the space you need to cover.
8. Can I install a signal booster myself?
Yes, most boosters are designed for easy installation. Here’s how:
- Mount the external antenna where the signal is strongest (e.g., roof or window).
- Connect the antenna to the amplifier using the provided cable.
- Place the internal antenna in the area where you need better signals.
- Power on the system and test the signal strength.
Detailed installation guides are included with all boosters sold by Mobile Signal Guru.
9. How much does a mobile signal booster cost in Denmark?
The price depends on the type and features:
- Basic Models: 1,000–2,000 DKK (suitable for small spaces).
- Mid-Range Models: 2,000–5,000 DKK (ideal for larger homes/offices).
- High-End Models: 5,000–10,000 DKK (for industrial or rural areas).
Investing in a high-quality booster ensures long-term performance and reliability.
10. Will a signal booster interfere with other devices?
No, approved signal boosters are designed to work without interfering with other electronics or mobile networks. It’s important to choose a CE-certified booster to ensure safe operation.
11. Can I use the same booster for multiple devices?
Yes, a mobile signal booster enhances the signal for all devices within its coverage area. This includes smartphones, tablets, and laptops connected to mobile networks.
12. Do signal boosters work in rural areas?
Yes, signal boosters are especially useful in rural areas with weak or inconsistent signals. Ensure the booster has a high-gain external antenna to capture distant signals effectively.
13. What should I do if my booster doesn’t work?
If your booster isn’t working:
- Check all connections and cables.
- Ensure the external antenna is pointed towards the nearest cell tower.
- Move the internal antenna to a better location.

A high-quality signal booster can last 5–10 years with proper installation and maintenance. Durable materials and advanced designs ensure long-term performance.
16. What’s the difference between single-band and multi-band boosters?
- Single-Band Boosters: Work on one frequency. Suitable for areas where you use one carrier or network.
- Multi-Band Boosters: Support multiple frequencies. Ideal for households or offices with users on different carriers.

30. Will a booster improve internet speed for streaming and gaming?
Yes, by enhancing your 3G, 4G, or 5G signal, a booster can significantly improve internet speed. This makes activities like streaming, online gaming, and video calls smoother and more reliable.
31. Are there specific boosters for business or industrial use?
Yes, commercial-grade signal boosters are available for businesses, warehouses, and industrial sites. These boosters offer higher capacity, support multiple users, and cover larger areas.
32. Can I extend the cable between antennas and amplifiers?
Yes, but keep in mind that longer cables may cause signal loss. Use high-quality, low-loss cables to minimize this effect. Consult Mobile Signal Guru for suitable cable extensions.
33. Do signal boosters work for underground spaces like basements?
Yes, signal boosters are ideal for basements, underground garages, or other low-signal areas. Ensure the external antenna is placed where the signal is strongest to maximize coverage.
