SureCall Fusion4Home vs. Fusion5s Uplink and Downlink Power
This post shows technical differences and comparisons between SureCall Fusion4Home and SureCall Fusion5s in-building cell phone signal booster kits. It specifically highlights the downlink and uplink output power at various different frequencies. Below, AGC stands for Automatic Gain Control. DL refers to "Down Link" frequencies and UL refers to "Up Link" frequencies. While they both offer up to 72 dB Gain, the difference is that Fusion5s offers higher uplink and downlink power output on all frequencies and bands for greater ability to reach farther cell towers (uplink) and provide larger indoor coverage area (downlink) to reach and connect all cell devices.
