The Direct Connect (inline) Bi-directional Amplifier improves RF coverage in areas with no signal or low signal strength. The unit amplifies both 800MHz and 1900MHz cellular and PCS signals providing up to 3 Watts of output power on the 800MHz band and 2 Watts of output power on the 1900MHz (PCS) Band. Increases your phone’s coverage up to 50 miles or more (under ideal conditions.)Works with all Cellular/PCS Service Providers except iDEN (Nextel/Southern LINC/Mike) and 1700MHz AWS (T-Mobile US 3G)
How the unit functions:
The 800MHz and 1900MHz cellular signal from the cell site is received by the Wilson Cellular antenna (sold separately). The signal is then amplified and transmitted to your phone through the Wilson Cellular phone adapter cable (sold separately). When the phone transmits, the signal is sent to the amplifier through the adapter and then amplified and sent to the cell site through the outside antenna.
Compatible with:
All US Cellular/PCS carriers except iDEN carriers such as Nextel, SouthernLinc, Mike (Canada). iDEN users should use the 3 Watt Direct Connection Amplifier for Nextel/iDEN. Not Compatible with 1700MHz AWS (T-Mobile US 3G).
Compatible carriers include:
Verizon, AT&T GSM/GPRS/TDMA, Cingular, Alltel, Sprint PCS, T-Mobile (850MHz, 1900MHz), Cellular One, US Cellular, Metro PCS, Virgin Mobile, Cricket, Qwest, Boost Mobile, etc.

Features:

The Wilson Electronics 801245 SOHO Wireless Dual-Band Amplifier has been carefully engineered to enhance the performance of your cell phone or cellular data card in small office/home office applications. Its advanced technology is designed to significantly improve voice and data signal quality and reduce disconnects and drop-outs. The amplifier works with two antennas (sold separately): one antenna communicates with the cell site (the outside antenna) and the other communicates with your cell phone or laptop data card (the inside antenna).
The outside antenna will collect the outside signal and send it through a cable to the amplifier. The signal is then boosted and sent through a cable to the inside antenna, which communicates with your cell phone or data card. When the cell phone or data card transmits, the inside antenna picks up the signal and sends it to the amplifier where it is boosted and sent through the outside antenna to the cell site.

Wilson’s affordable SignalBoost™ Amplifier is the perfect choice for the user looking to improve cellular signals for a single cell phone or data card on the road or indoors. Wilson’s new Ultra-Slim Antenna, included with all kits, attaches to any phone or data card – no equipment specific adapter is required.
The 811210 is Wilson’s basic SignalBoost™ kit and is designed for users who prefer to select their own outside antenna.
