Trusted by Farmers, Farm Managers & Agricultural Contractors
From small family farms to large commercial operations, our signal boosting solutions are relied on across the agricultural sector to keep teams connected, improve operational efficiency, and ensure safety in even the most remote locations.
Stay Connected, Wherever the Land Takes You
Farms are wide, rugged, and often out of reach — and that’s exactly where a strong mobile signal matters most. Whether you’re managing equipment, communicating with teams across fields, accessing critical data, or needing emergency services, reliable mobile connectivity is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity.
At Bolton Technical, we understand the unique challenges of agricultural environments. Our powerful cellular signal boosters are designed to overcome rural dead zones, poor coverage in barns or sheds, and weak signal across large properties.
The Unique Challenge of Cell Signal on Farms
Farms are typically located in rural or remote areas where cell towers are few and far between. Rolling terrain, metal sheds, thick walls, and long distances between buildings all contribute to poor cellular coverage. Even when signal is available outside, it often drops off completely indoors or in lower-lying areas. This makes it difficult for farmers and teams to communicate, access cloud-based systems, or call for help in an emergency - turning connectivity into a critical operational challenge.
Built Tough for Agricultural Life
Our boosters are rugged, weatherproof, and farm-ready — perfect for installation in farmhouses, sheds, storage units, and machinery workshops. With scalable solutions for single buildings or entire properties, we help farms of all sizes stay connected and productive.
From small family operations to commercial farms, our solutions are relied on by those who can’t afford downtime. With expert advice, professional installation, and local support across South Africa, we’ll help you find the right setup to meet your farm’s unique needs.

Farm Signal Booster FAQs
Do cell phone signal boosters work in rural areas in South Africa?
Yes, signal boosters are especially effective in rural areas where cell signals are weak. They amplify available signals, improving both voice and data reception in remote locations.
Can I use a signal booster in remote areas of my farm?
Absolutely! Whether you need coverage for your farmhouse, storage units, or far-reaching areas, a signal booster can provide reliable coverage across your entire farm.
How far can a cell phone signal booster reach?
The reach of a signal booster depends on its strength and the size of the area. Typically, a signal booster can cover several hundred meters up to a kilometer, depending on the environment and topography.
Do cell phone signal boosters need internet connectivity to work?
No, signal boosters do not require internet connectivity to work. They amplify existing cell signals, allowing you to improve voice and data connectivity without needing a WiFi or internet connection.
Where is the best place to put a cell phone signal booster on a farm?
The best placement for a in-building signal booster is typically in a central location on the farm, preferably on a raised platform, near windows or in the roof ceiling with ceiling access for discretion. For larger farms, outdoor relay systems may be used to extend coverage.
