How Much Does Cellphone Signal Boosting Design and Installation Cost for Businesses?
In today’s fast-paced world, reliable cellphone signal is not just a convenience—it’s a necessity. For businesses operating in buildings with poor reception, dropped calls and weak data connections can affect productivity, customer service, and employee satisfaction. That’s where cellphone signal boosting systems come in.
At Comsat AV, we design and install professional-grade signal boosting solutions tailored to your building, layout, and usage needs. But one of the most common questions we get is: “How much does it cost?” Let’s break it down.
What Affects the Cost of a Cellphone Booster System?
The total cost of a signal boosting system for a business varies depending on several key factors:
Building Size and Structure
- Smaller offices (under 10,000 sq. ft.) may only need one or two internal antennas, costing less to equip.
- Larger or multi-story buildings may require a more complex setup with multiple antennas, amplifiers, and cabling routes.
Signal Strength Outside the Building
- If the outside signal is already weak, we may need to add more powerful donor antennas and amplifiers, which can increase the equipment and labor costs.
Type of Construction Materials
- Metal, concrete, and Low-E glass are common culprits for blocking signal. If your building has heavy signal-blocking materials, additional design considerations and equipment will be needed to ensure complete coverage.
Number of Carriers Supported
- Some businesses only need signal for one carrier (e.g., AT&T or Verizon), while others need multi-carrier solutions. Systems that support all major carriers simultaneously can increase the price, but offer better flexibility and value long term.
Level of Customization and Monitoring
- Enterprise-grade systems can be designed with remote monitoring, custom zoning, or integration with emergency services (like FirstNet compatibility). These extras can raise the cost but add reliability and functionality.

Typical Pricing Ranges
Here’s a general breakdown of what to expect for commercial installations:
| System Type | Estimated Cost Range |
| Basic system (small business, 1–2 rooms) | $1,000 – $3,000 |
| Mid-sized office (5,000–25,000 sq. ft.) | $3,500 – $10,000 |
| Large or multi-story commercial building | $10,000 – $50,000+ |
Design and installation labor is usually included in these ranges, though prices can vary based on access, cable routing complexity, and scheduling needs.

While DIY kits exist, they’re typically not strong enough for commercial use—and they rarely meet the standards required for reliable signal across entire office buildings, warehouses, or retail spaces.

- Custom system design based on your space
- Certified equipment and expert installation
- Ongoing support and optional maintenance
