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
The WilsonPro 314407 4G Low-Profile Dome Antenna is tailored for locations that demand a more discreet installation, bypassing the need for a large signal reflector. This flexibility allows it to be perfectly suited for tighter spaces or areas where the installation of a signal reflector is impractical. Compared to the WilsonPro 314406 model, which includes a reflector, the 314407 provides a sleek alternative without compromising performance.
Included with the antenna is a plenum-rated pigtail cable, making it suitable for use in plenum spaces, where higher fire-resistance is required. The dome's design integrates seamlessly with the ceiling, maintaining a low profile that is less obtrusive.
- Frequency Band: Broad coverage across 608-960 MHz, 1695-2200 MHz, and 2300-2700 MHz ensures compatibility with a wide range of signals.
- Nominal Impedance: 50 ohms, standard for effective signal transmission.
- VSWR: Stands at 2:1 for both lower and mid-frequency bands, indicating efficient power reflection.
- Gain: Achieves up to 6 dBi in peak gain, enhancing signal strength and quality.
- Efficiency: High efficiency rates (up to 70%) minimize energy loss and improve overall performance.
- Beamwidth: Offers a broad horizontal plane and a vertical beamwidth that ranges from 100° to 130°, providing extensive coverage.
- Maximum Power Input: Can handle up to 40 watts, allowing for robust signal enhancement.
- Cable and Connector: Features a 10-inch low-loss, plenum-rated cable with an N-Female connector for secure and reliable connectivity.
- Dimensions: Compact with a diameter of 9.4 inches and height of 6.36 inches, it fits neatly within a variety of indoor environments.
This antenna is a practical choice for anyone needing to improve cellular signal strength discreetly and effectively within a restricted installation space. Refer to the included user manual for detailed installation guidance and further technical specifications.
