This system is a complete kit compatible with 800MHz Cellular Systems. Package will contain all items required to build one full amplifier/repeater system. All cables are crimped and all necessary adapters are included. The only additional items you will typically require are the pole to mount the Yagi antenna on and a ground wire if you chose the optional lightning suppressor.


800MHz systems work for cellular systems using the 824MHz - 896MHz band. The band that your carrier is using depends on your zip code. In particular, this system is not compatible with iDEN (Nextel, Southern LINC, Mike) and PCS only carriers such as Sprint PCS and T-Mobile. If you are unsure of the frequency band you are using, please contact us.

Zip Code/Carrier Name: We require you to provide us with your carrier's name and the zip code where the system is to be used so that we can check system compatibility.

Note regarding 65dB amplifier: If you intend to purchase the 65dB amplifier or higher, please ensure that you have at least 70' of cable in your system to allow for adequate antenna separation and do not use if you have 'full' signal outside.

Wilson Cellular Amplifiers extend cellular services in poor coverage areas by amplifying both transmit and receive signals. The amplifiers reduce problems with signal fades and dropped calls while improving voice quality, service range and access. These multi-mode amplifiers are designed to offer a cost-effective solution for use in buildings. Wilson Cellular amplifiers are network compatible and enhance the cellular phone user's satisfaction without comprising the operation of the cellular system.

This Amplifier-Repeater greatly improves signal strength inside a building when using your cellular phone. It does this without a physical connection to your phone, allowing you to walk freely during a call. It even allows multiple phones to be used simultaneously.

The signal from the cellular tower is received by the outside antenna and then amplifier and repeated to your phone through the inside antenna. When the phone transmits it is received by the inside antenna and then amplified/repeated through the outside antenna to the cellular tower.

    * Wireless operation - no physical connection to cellular phone
    * In building and in vehicle models available
    * Increases signal strength in buildings for 800MHz Cellular frequencies (824-896MHz)
    * Allows multiple phones to be used simultaneously
    * Increases your cellular phone's range
    * Low cost solution for uncompromised performance
    * Compatible with 800/850MHz Digital (CDMA, TDMA, GSM) and Analog/AMPS

Open area estimates: Walls will decrease coverage distance. Metal, cement and cinderblock walls will severely attenuate or stop signal penetration.

Coverage area is primarily determined by the strength of the outdoor signal and the gain of the amplifier. To determine correct amplifier size, see chart above and documents below.

How dB Affects Coverage:

A 6dB increase in signal doubles the interior coverage distance while a 6dB decrease will halve your interior coverage distance. Likewise, a 3dB increase will increase the interior coverage distance by 43% and a 3dB decrease will decrease it by 30%.
