Wilson Electronics Glass Mount Cell Phone Antennas

Wilson Dual Band Glass Mount Antenna

The Wilson Electronics Cellular Glass Mount Antenna Outperforms the Competition

Up to 90% of a cellphone's power on transmit and receive is absorbed within a vehicle and the users head. We solve this problem by channeling all the power from the cell phone to the outside antenna. This results in our glass mount antenna transmitting and receiving over 10 times the signal of a cellular phone used inside a car / truck without an outside antenna.

The Wilson Glass Mount Cellular Antenna was carefully designed to minimize loss and maximize gain on both the 800 MHz and 1900 MHz bands. Wilson accomplished this by using a phasing coil and a low loss coaxial phase reversing device that provides high gain on both frequencies. Wilson's innovative design results in high efficiency with low losses and will get the most signal to your cellular phone. Thanks to these innovations and our attention to detail Wilson Electronics has the best performing glass mount cellular antenna available. The Wilson Dual Band Glass Mount Antenna is about 15" tall and includes 14 feet of RG-58 low loss coax cable with FME Female connector. The Wilson glass mount is mounted using 3M adhesive. The whip with antenna base is mounted outside the vehicle glass and the mount with cable attached is mounted directly opposite on the inside of the vehicle glass. This cell phone antenna comes with a 90 day warranty.

Glass Mount Antenna Notes & Cautions:

Passivated Glass

Many cars have passivated glass --- glass impregnated with tiny metal particles which render the glass incapable of coupling RF between the inside and outside couplers.

To help determine if the glass on your vehicle is passivated:

• First, look near a corner of a window for words meaning or relating to "sun" or referring to ultraviolet or other forms of radiation. If you find terms like "Solor", "Soft-Ray", "EZE-Cool", "Solar-Coat", "Solar-Cool", "Insta-Clear" your glass is probably passivated and won’t work with on-glass antennas.
• If you don't find these helpful words on the glass and want to be 100% certain, ask a 2-way or cellular shop technician to test your glass with a capacitance meter.

Glass Tint

Various tints can also interfere with glass mount antenna coupling resulting in poor reception or no performance.

Defogger Wires

Avoid mounting a glass mount antenna on defogger wires. Not only will the wires interfer with a signal, you could damage the wires when removing the antenna.

Black Mast Paint On Glass

The black mast paint used around the perimeter of the rear window glass on domestic vehicles has not been shown to be detrimental to the glass mount installation.

Rain-X and Similiar Products

Chemical properties of Rain-X reduce the holding ability of the adhesive tape used on galss mount antennas by over 50%. If Rain-X or another acidified alcohol surface treatment has been applied to the glass, it must be removed from the mounting area. Try Bon Ami cleanser or Ultra Brite flouride toothpaste.

General Glass Mount Antenna Tips

• The biggest difficulty in mounting a glass antenna is getting the proper inside to outside alignment of the coupling box to base foot.
• The best location of an antenna is near the center of the roofline.
• If the installation required mounting to the corner, there should not be significant performance degradation.
• Always install the antenna as high on the glass as possible. The further above vehicle obstructions the better.
• Glass mount antennas are designed for tempered automobile glass with a nominal thickness of 5/32".
• Front windshield glass is a laminated safety glass, which is thicker and causes some degradation to the VSWR match. Expect a VSWR match to be nominally 2:1.
