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 4G Low-Profile Dome Antenna with Reflector (314406) represents a significant advancement in dome antenna technology, created through a collaboration with PulseLarsen. This model is specially designed for environments requiring a less conspicuous installation compared to traditional dome antennas.
- Enhanced Signal Coverage: Comes with a reflector that redirects excess signal usually lost at the back of the antenna downwards, expanding the coverage area significantly.
- Installation Requirements: Installation requires adequate space to accommodate the 16.56" reflector above the ceiling. If space constraints exist, consider the WilsonPro 314407 4G Low-Profile Dome Antenna as an alternative.
- Plenum Usage: Includes a plenum pigtail, making it suitable for use in plenum spaces.
