Network Extender Range 

The coverage of the Network Extender will vary based on a number of factors 
including: 

 

The type of building it is being deployed within (e.g., building materials  
number of walls) 

 

The strength of the existing Verizon 4G LTE signal  

The Network Extender coverage radius will vary based the RF absorption or 
obstruction characteristics of environment it is used in.  

It is therefore important to know both your building type and the strength of the 
existing Verizon 4G LTE coverage before estimating the number of Network 
Extenders you will need and where you will place them. 

You can estimate the range of a Network Extender by finding the row in the table 
below that applies to your building type and 2 bars (or less) of existing 4G LTE 
coverage.

Dense 

  70 feet 

The Network Extender is designed for use where there is weak 4G LTE signal. If 
you regularly observe more than 2 bars of 4G LTE macro coverage throughout 
your building, the solution may not be suitable.   
The recommended capacity of the Network Extender can be found in the 
Auxiliary Network Extender Placement Considerations at the end of this 
document. 

 

For further information regarding 

Building type 

see the appropriate headings 

below. 

 

Building Type 

Building type

 refers to the type of building in which the Network Extenders are 

being installed. There are three classifications 

 

Open: An open, generally commercial building with limited amounts of 
clutter and no or very few internal walls.  Examples are warehouses or 
supermarkets with high ceilings and low racks. 

 

Medium: A building with typical levels of clutter such as open or mixed 
plan offices.  Some internal walls but not regular internal walls.

  

Examples 

include mixed use office space with low to mid height cubical walls.
