Whether managing IoT sensors, enabling team communication, or ensuring uptime for critical systems, a consistent mobile signal is non-negotiable. We’re here to help you choose the right setup - with professional advice, expert installers, and local support.
Reliable Connectivity, No Matter the Conditions
Whether you're launching a project in a remote location, operating underground, or working within steel-reinforced structures, poor cellular signal is a common challenge on South African construction sites. From delays in communicating with teams and suppliers to difficulties sending project data or making critical calls - weak signal disrupts productivity and slows progress.
Bolton Technical offers ICASA-approved signal boosters and passive repeater systems tailored for the IoT industry.
The Unique Challenge of Cell Signal at IoT-Driven sites
IoT systems rely on consistent, high-quality cellular connectivity to power real-time data transmission, device communication, and remote monitoring. But environments filled with interference - from metal structures and thick walls to remote or underground locations - can disrupt signal strength and compromise performance.
As IoT deployments scale, so do their connectivity demands. Our WilsonPro signal boosting solutions amplify cellular signal by up to 32X, ensuring faster, more reliable 3G and 4G LTE speeds. This means uninterrupted performance for connected sensors, smart devices, and mission-critical systems, across any industry or environment.
Reliable Connectivity That Supports Safety and Rapid Response
In the IoT world, clear communication and real-time data can make all the difference - especially during emergencies. Whether it's coordinating systems, triggering alerts, or enabling remote monitoring, dependable cellular signal is critical to safety and responsiveness.
Weak coverage can delay emergency notifications, disrupt automated responses, and compromise the performance of critical IoT devices. Our WilsonPro boosters deliver strong, consistent mobile signal across complex and high-interference environments, helping ensure your connected systems stay online when it matters most.

Signal Success Story
A client needed a solution for a GSM intercom system using two SIM cards that was struggling with poor signal. We recommended the weBoost booster and suggested either two older units or one newer model. He opted for the latest version, installed it himself, and now the system has stable, reliable connectivity.
Our 4 Step Installation Process
Every professional repeater installation follows a proven 4-step process. Our certified installers are fully trained to ensure each installation meets our strict quality standards.
Step 1
Initial Review
Send us your building plans. Our team will create professional heat map designs showing projected antenna signal strengths per floor. We'll also generate a Bill of Materials (BOM) and a detailed cost estimate.
Step 2
On-Site Survey
We visit your building to conduct a comprehensive site survey using a signal test analyser. A signal expert will guide you through every step of the process to ensure accurate data collection.
Step 3
Design Proposal
Using the data from the survey, we refine the system design and generate a final, accurate BOM tailored to your site's needs.
Step 4
Installation Support
Bolton’s expert installation team handles the full setup, ensuring the system is installed correctly for maximum performance and reliability.

IoT Signal Boosters FAQs
How do signal boosters help with IoT connectivity?
Signal boosters strengthen weak cellular signals, improving the performance and reliability of IoT devices such as sensors, smart meters, and remote monitoring systems.
Can a signal booster improve M2M (machine-to-machine) communication?
Yes. Signal boosters stabilize the cellular connection between M2M devices, reducing downtime, improving data transfer rates, and ensuring seamless automation.
Do signal boosters work for IoT in rural or remote farming areas?
Absolutely. Our boosters are ideal for remote locations where poor coverage affects IoT applications like precision agriculture, industrial monitoring, and asset tracking.
What industries use IoT signal boosters the most?
Industries such as agriculture, logistics, warehousing, smart cities, manufacturing, security, and healthcare benefit from improved signal for their connected devices.
Do I need a special signal booster for IoT devices?
The best booster depends on your IoT devices’ network bands (2G, 3G, 4G, or 5G). Bolton Technical offers boosters compatible with all major South African networks.
Will a signal booster improve GPS and fleet tracking systems?
Yes. Signal boosters help maintain reliable GPS and cellular connectivity for vehicle tracking, improving location accuracy and reducing communication delays.
Can signal boosters improve my IoT security systems?
Definitely. For cellular-based security devices like alarms and cameras, boosters reduce signal loss and latency, ensuring faster alerts and real-time monitoring.
Do signal boosters work for low-power IoT devices like NB-IoT or LTE-M?
Cell Signal Boosters are most effective with standard 3G, 4G, and 5G devices. For NB-IoT and LTE-M, performance depends on the frequency band and power level. Contact us to assess compatibility with your devices.
Can I use one signal booster for multiple IoT devices?
Yes. A properly installed booster can improve connectivity for multiple IoT devices within its coverage range, whether it's a warehouse full of sensors or an outdoor area with smart meters.
How far does a signal booster reach for IoT applications?
Coverage depends on the model and environment. Some boosters cover single rooms, while enterprise-grade systems can extend signal across thousands of square meters or large outdoor areas.
What’s the difference between a WiFi extender and a cellular signal booster for IoT?
WiFi extenders strengthen local internet signals, while signal boosters improve mobile network reception. IoT devices using SIM cards or cellular networks require signal boosters, not WiFi extenders.
