What Is an AT&T Microcell? Should You Need It?
For people with little knowledge of AT&T Microcell, the device is like a mini cell tower placed at your home, which connects to the already existing broadband Internet service.
The tower would improve the signal that would result in better performance. The signal range covers up to 40 ft. or about 5,000 sq. ft. from the base station in all directions. Whether it is about sending texts, voice call, or cellular data applications like picture messaging and web surfing.
If you think of creating a secure, strong, and sharable signal in your home, waste no more time in connecting the Microcell mini cell tower to your existing Internet service.
