Wilson 844080 70 dB iDEN Signal Booster Kit for Nextel, Southern LINC & Mike [Discontinued]

This product has been discontinued and is no longer available.Please contact us to learn about available replacement products. You Should Choose This Kit If You need an all in one solution to provide boosted iDEN 800 MHz with coverage for an area up to 20,000 sq ft.* over one or multiple floors.  This kit does not boost the standard dual-band frequencies and will only help iDEN 800 MHz carriers. Coverage Area Many variables impact the total coverage area of a signal booster system. The following are estimates only and may not be accurate in any individual situation. If you have an existing strong 5-bar outside signal, you may get up to 20,000 sq ft of coverage inside* If you have an existing 3 to 4-bar (-90 dB) outside signal, you may get up to 15,000 sq ft of coverage inside* If you have an existing 1 to 2-bar (-100 dB) outside signal, you may get up to 2,000 sq ft of coverage inside* Supported Carriers This system only supports iDEN 800 MHz carriers including Nextel, Southern LINC, and MIKE.  It will not boost the networks from any other carrier.

But if you're not comfortable getting up on your roof to mount an antenna, it may be best to find an electronics installer or a handy friend. We always recommend doing a soft install where you don't permanently mount anything or drill any holes until you know the system will work for you and you've identified the best locations for the antennas.  To install, just follow these 4 steps: To start, you'll need to find a place on the roof of your home or office to mount the outside yagi antenna. It's best to figure out which direction it will need to be pointed before permanently mounting the antenna which we'll cover at the end. Connect one of the WILSON400 coax cables to the antenna and run it into the house. You may be able to enter through a vent or a soffit; otherwise, you may have to drill a hole.  With the cable inside, connect it to an in-line lighting protector if you purchased one, and then to the amplifier. To the inside antenna port on amplifier, connect the remaining WILSON400 cable and then connect the inside antenna. If you have an attic, the easiest installation method is typically to have the amplifier and inside antenna in the attic with the panel antenna face down on the floor in the middle of the house. If you don't have an attic, you can mount the panel antenna on the ceiling in the middle of the house, or on a wall. Once all of the components are connected, plug in the amplifier and see if you get any error codes. A red light indicates that the inside and outside antennas are too close together. Unplug the amplifier and then increase the separation between the antennas and try again. If you can't increase the separation, you can turn down the gain on the amplifier which will also decrease the total coverage area. For any other errors, consult the manual or contact us for help. To aim the yagi antenna, start with the antenna high on the roof pointed in one direction. Turn on the system and have an inside helper inside stand near the inside antenna and take a signal reading with their phone in field test mode. Rotate the yagi antenna 45 degrees and then pause for 30 to 60 seconds. After the pause, the person inside should take another signal reading, and then you can repeat the process. Each time your partner checks the signal strength, also check to make sure there aren't any warning lights on the amplifier. After you've gone all the way around, mount the antenna facing in the direction with the strongest signal. If possible, also mount the antenna on that side of the home or office so that it's pointing away from the building and not over the building.  The included manual is very helpful and we recommend reading through it before beginning the installation. If you run into any issues, feel free to contact us for help.  Benefits Everything you need is in the box, just set it up and go Increases data speeds Works wirelessly. No direct-connection to your phone or data device is necessary. Supports multiple data devices simultaneously Adjustable gain control makes installation easier Contains carrier protection technologies to guard against overload and oscillation Amplifies the signal both to and from the cell carrier More than 20 times as powerful as a standard cell phone Boosts 800 MHZ iDEN Signals Only Extends the battery life of your phone Made in the USA FCC and IC type accepted * The actual coverage area of a signal booster is dependent on many factors including existing outside signal strength, obstructions between you and the cell tower, the materials used in your home or office, the layout of the area you need to cover with a boosted signal, and other factors. The approximate coverage areas listed above are estimates. Actual coverage area will vary based on these and other factors.
