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
This kit is crafted to enhance the efficiency and reach of your 50 Ohm signal booster system, making it an excellent solution for expanding coverage in complex building layouts.
Benefits:
- Extended Coverage: Ideal for buildings with challenging layouts like "L" shaped structures, or those with multiple rooms separated by thick walls or multiple floors.
- Enhanced Signal Distribution: Adding a second antenna helps distribute the signal more evenly and effectively across areas that one antenna alone may not adequately cover.
Installation:
- Connect the 2' coax cable to the internal antenna port on your amplifier.
- Attach the signal splitter to the other end of the 2' coax cable.
- Utilize one output on the splitter for the antenna and coax cable that came with your original signal booster system.
- Connect the 60' coax cable and panel antenna included in the kit to the other output on the splitter.
- Test and Adjust: Before permanently mounting the antennas, temporarily place them where you think they should go, power on the system, and test the level of coverage you get in the space you're trying to cover. If you find spots that don't have adequate signal, try adjusting the antennas.
If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, technical support is available to guide you through the setup process.
