1. Why Is Mobile Signal Weak in Basements and Underground Garages?

Poor mobile reception in basements and underground garages is mainly caused by thick reinforced concrete walls and fully enclosed structures that block radio waves. Even if you have full signal strength outdoors, the signal can drop to zero once you step underground.
This affects:

• Voice calls

• Internet browsing

• Video streaming

• Smart security devices and garage door systems

2. The Solution – Basement & Underground Garage Mobile Signal Booster

A mobile signal booster receives weak outdoor signals, amplifies them, and transmits them indoors. For basements and underground garages, the best choice is a 900/1800MHz Dual-Band Mobile Signal Booster, which supports most Irish and European carriers (Vodafone, Three, Eir).
