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.
Add-On 3 Inside Panel Antenna Kit for 50 Ohm Signal Boosters | 3099...
Product Information
Product Information
Maximize your signal reach with the Add-On 3 Internal Panel Antenna Kit, specifically designed to enhance the functionality of a 50 ohm signal booster system. This kit is invaluable for complex building structures, such as those with "L" shaped designs, as well as environments spanning multiple rooms and levels where signal attenuation due to walls and floors is a concern.
Components included in the kit:
- Three Wilson 50 Ohm Full Band Panel Antennas (311135)
- One Wilson 50 Ohm 4-Way Signal Splitter (859981)
- One Wilson 2' Ultra Low Loss Coax Cable (952302)
- Three Wilson 60' Ultra Low Loss Coax Cables (952360)
Installation guide:
Begin by connecting the 2-foot Ultra Low Loss Coax Cable to the internal antenna port on your amplifier. Next, attach the 4-way splitter to the other end of the coax cable. Utilize one of the splitter's outputs for the coax cable and antenna originally included with your signal booster system. Connect the 60-foot coax cables and the additional panel antennas to the remaining outputs.
To ensure optimal performance, position the antennas temporarily in the intended spots and activate the system to evaluate the signal coverage. Make necessary adjustments to the antenna placements to achieve full area coverage. If installation issues arise, remember that our technical support team is ready to help you navigate any problems, ensuring your system is perfectly tuned to distribute signals effectively throughout your space.
