How to Choose the Right Antennas for Your Booster
Outside Antennas:
- Yagi Directional Antenna: This antenna is more powerful because it focuses on sending and receiving signals in one direction. It works best when there are no major obstacles blocking its path to the cell tower. It's not ideal for areas with large obstructions like hills or buildings.
- Omni Antenna: This antenna sends and receives in all directions, so it's better for hilly areas or if you need to support multiple carriers with towers in different directions. It doesn’t need to be aimed, but it also isn’t as strong as the Yagi antenna.
- High Gain LPDA Antenna: Perfect for areas with very weak signals, this antenna significantly boosts signal strength. It needs a clear line of sight to the cell tower and requires a sturdy mount because of its size.
Inside Antennas:
- Panel Antenna: Can be placed on walls or ceilings and directs the signal towards a specific area. This antenna is great for homes and tall ceilings in buildings.
- Standard Dome Antenna: Designed to mounted on the ceiling, this antenna spreads the signal evenly throughout the area. It's best suited for drop ceilings or spaces where cables can be run above the ceiling.
- Ultra-Thin Dome Antenna: This slim antenna also mounts to the ceiling, but is much is less noticeable. It's much stronger than a standard dome antenna, making it a great choice for places where both looks and signal strength are important.
Tips for Choosing:
- Choose Omni Antennas for general coverage with no aiming required.
- Choose Directional Antennas (Yagi or LPDA) when you can point directly at a cell tower and need stronger signal and more inside coverage.
- Interior Size Considerations: One antenna per 750-1,500 sq ft in homes, or 1,500-2,500 sq ft in open spaces like offices and warehouses.

Product Information
Product Information
Optimize your signal coverage with the Add-On 2 Internal Panel Antenna Kit, tailored for enhancing the effectiveness of a 50 ohm signal booster system. This kit is particularly valuable for structures with complex layouts such as "L" shaped buildings, or in scenarios where multiple rooms or floors are affected by thick barriers that disrupt signal flow.
Included in the kit are:
- Two Wilson 50 Ohm Full Band Panel Antennas (311135)
- One Wilson 50 Ohm 3-Way Signal Splitter (859980)
- One Wilson 2' Ultra Low Loss Coax Cable (952302)
- Two Wilson 60' Ultra Low Loss Coax Cables (952360)
Installation Steps:
1. Attach the 2-foot Ultra Low Loss Coax Cable to the internal antenna port on your amplifier. 2. Connect the 3-way splitter to the other end of this coax cable. 3. Use one of the outputs on the splitter for the coax cable and antenna that originally came with your signal booster system. 4. Connect the 60-foot coax cables and the included panel antennas to the remaining outputs.
Before finalizing the installation, it's advisable to temporarily place the antennas in their intended spots, power up the system, and assess the signal distribution throughout the building. Adjust the antenna placements to ensure all areas receive adequate signal. If you encounter any issues during installation, our technical support team is readily available to provide assistance and ensure you achieve the best possible coverage.
