No usable cell signal Cell signal is now considered a necessary utility and an essential part of the connected home!
Why?
Reasons for weak signal Building Materials, Low E Glass UV Radiant Barrier/Tek Wrap
Terrain/Foliage
Number one reason for poor cell signal
Cell tower
Distance from Tower
Steel, Concrete, Brick, Stucco
Cellular Boosters
ü Eliminates dead zones ü Eliminate dropped calls ü Faster data speeds ü Longer cell phone battery life ü Less radiation from phone ü No need for internet ü No extra contract needed ü Works with any carrier ü Supports alarm backup
How Boosters Work

Outside Antenna – Talks to tower Booster- Adds gain to the signal Inside Antenna – Talks to devices
Wilson cellular boosters only boost cell signal, they do not help Wi-Fi

Essential tool for professional installers
Wilson RF Signal Meter Reads all carrier’s signals Never connect a signal meter down stream from a booster!
Cell Phone Signal • Cellular signal strength is measured in decibel milliwatts or (dBm), and will typically range from -50dBm (Strong) to -110dBm (No Signal) • Every 3dB doubles or halves the power. A -67dBm is twice the power of -70dBm • Every 6dB increase in signal strength will double the coverage area
Dropped calls 0dBm

Oscillation & Overload Occasional installation issues
Oscillation – Occurs when inside antenna and outside antenna “talk” to each other causing an RF loop, or feedback. Solution: Increase separation of the antennas. Increasing isolation is the key and can be achieved mechanically in some cases.
Overload – Caused by close proximity to a cell tower. The offending tower may be on another network. Solution: If working with a directional outside antenna, re-orienting the antenna may solve the issue. See install guide for complete instructions
All Wilson Boosters feature automatic controls to protect cellular networks from harm due to oscillation or overload
Booster System Components All Boosters come as a complete kit including cable
Wideband Directional Antenna:
Amplifier or Booster:
Panel Directional Antenna:
Place this antenna outside on the side of the building where signal is strongest. Mount it on a pole and aim it at the strongest signal away from the building.
Mount inside the building near power away from excessive heat or cold. Try to keep cable lengths as short as possible.
Place this antenna on the inside of the building. Mount on the wall or ceiling (above or behind drywall is ok) in the area which needs the most improvement.
Please read the complete installation instructions included with each system
Installer Only Product Line Not sold online or through any retail outlets
PRO 60 60dB gain
PRO 65 65dB gain
PRO 70 70dB gain
Small area or Strong outside signal
Larger area or strong outside signal
Larger area or weak outside signal
All PRO boosters come as a complete kit including all necessary parts for installation
Cables & Loss RG6
F connector 75 ohm Loss = 10dB/100’
RG11
F connector 75 ohm Loss = 6dB/100’
Best Practices
•
Mount outside antenna on side of building where strongest cell signal is found. Aim the antenna away from the building to minimize oscillation (red light). Additional isolating materials or separation may be necessary
•
Keep cable runs as short as possible to minimize loss, but never use less than the length provided with the kit
•
Nearby towers can cause overload (orange light), re-aiming the outside antenna can cure this
•
If practical, do a soft installation of the equipment first to verify proper operation
•
One inside antenna can cover four to five thousand square feet.
New FCC Regulations •
All Wilson cellular boosters meet 2014 FCC requirements and are FCC certified
•
Cellular boosters must be shipped as complete kits and minimum cable lengths observed
•
New boosters installed after May 1, 2014 must be registered by end user with their carrier
