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.
Wilson Signal Booster Reach Extreme Marine Kit
Product Information
Product Information
The Wilson Signal Booster Reach Extreme Marine Kit is the best kit for boosting cell signal in your boat or marine craft. The Reach Extreme Marine Kit features the weBoost Drive Reach 5-band, 50 dB amplifier, which is the most powerful mobile amplifier allowed by the FCC, an outside marine antenna, and a panel inside antenna to maximize the internal coverage area. The Drive Reach amplifier has a significantly increased uplink power (2x more powerful than the Drive X amplifier) back to the cell towers, so you can be even further from shore and still have great calls and fast data speeds.
The Reach Extreme Marine Kit boosts the 2G, 3G, 4G LTE & 5G networks from the major carriers, giving you fewer dropped calls, increased reception and the fastest 3G & 4G LTE download speeds possible. Unlike some other mobile signal boosters, the 4G Extreme Marine kit communicates with your phone wirelessly, so it does not require a direct connection or for your phone to sit in a cradle. Also, because it broadcasts boosted signal to the general area, multiple phones and data devices will receive boosted signal at the same time.
The Wilson Signal Booster Reach Extreme Marine Kit's inside coverage area will depend on your existing outside signal strength. In areas where you have a moderate existing outside signal, the Drive Reach amplifier will provide a boosted signal up to 5 ft from the inside antenna. As the outside signal gets weaker, you may have to keep your phone within about 18 inches from the inside antenna in order to take advantage of the boosted signal. To talk on the phone while moving around the boat, just keep your phone near the inside antenna and use a bluetooth headset for mobility. Hotspots can also be left near the inside antenna giving you the fastest internet speeds.
Supported Carriers
The Wilson Signal Booster Reach Extreme Marine Kit supports the Voice, 3G, 4G LTE and 5G networks from the major carriers in North America. It does not support any WiMAX or iDEN networks.
- AT&T 2G, 3G, 4G HSPA+, 4G LTE & 5G
- Verizon 2G, 3G, 4G LTE & 5G
- Sprint 2G, 3G & 4G LTE
- T-Mobile 2G, 3G, 4G HSPA+ & 4G LTE
- US Cellular 2G, 3G & 4G LTE
- All other carriers using 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 1900 MHz, and AWS 1700/2100 MHz frequencies
Please Note: This signal booster kit will not work in most European, Asian, and African countries because the frequencies used there are different than those boosted by this equipment.
Installation Overview
Installing the Wilson Signal Booster Reach Extreme Marine Kit is very easy and can usually be done in just a few minutes.
- Mount the Marine Antenna as high up as possible on the boat or marine vehicle, in a standard marine fitting or using the included marine antenna mount.
- Run the attached cable into the boat and connect to the amplifier's Outside Antenna port.
- To the Inside Antenna port, connect the inside antenna cable and run to the inside panel antenna, which you'll mount either on the ceiling or the wall of the boat, in the location where you'll be using your mobile devices the most.
- Power on the amplifier and you should immediately start receiving boosted signal.
