A new update to an FCC petition calls for tighter regulations on cellphone signal boosters.
Wilson Electronics, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless have jointly filed two standards, which propose consumer cellular signal booster protection regulations. The first is a revised version of technical specifications for consumer boosters designed to operate on multiple frequency bands in mobile and fixed environments. The second is a revision of protection standards to “frequency-selective” consumer boosters designed to operate in fixed, indoor locations, and only on the frequency band of a cellular carrier that has approved use.
