And, to add another level of complexity, individual phones will adjust their transmitter power based upon the received signal strength from the MicroCell.
While these products can solve your home wireless service problem for a couple of hundred dollars they do require that you have a broadband Internet connection because the microcell relays your voice and data service requests to Verizon via the Internet.
One of the complications with the MicroCell is that in order to avoid interference with local cell towers, it adjusts how strong the signal that it generates in your house is based on how weak your actual cell signal is at the time of initial activation.
