Amplifiers are not magical things. They can distort signal and they
also amplify noise together with the signal. And having a bigger area
with one node means having more multiple possible noise sources per
one node. Amplifying that does not really help. But riding of noise
does (like using reserved spectrum like GSM does, using directional
antenna, using MIMO-like techniques to cancel out electromagnetic
interference (or to enhance just signal)).
