Wilson SOHO DualBand
Bi-Directional Cellular Amplifier / Repeater

The Wilson Small Office / Home Office (SOHO) DualBand cellular amplifier repeater. The SOHO can handle up to 5 users simultaneously.

The Wilson SOHO Amplifier wireless extender greatly improves signal strength inside a building when using your cell phone. It does this without physical connection to your phone allowing you to walk around freely during a call. It even allows up to two cell phones and/or Data Cards to be used simultaneously.

The Wilson SOHO Amplifier Repeater is a small, portable, bi-directional, wireless extender devices that deliver service levels consistent with what would be expected in areas of high cell network coverage. They amplify a weak or shadowed cellular signal and repeat it in an in-building small office / home office (SOHO) applications. When using a Wilson amplier in conjunction with Wilson antennas, the outside antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to the amplier. The signal is then amplied and broadcast from the inside antenna to the surrounding area.

Requires 25 feet of separation between Inside and Outside Antenna

Cell phones and cellular data cards in that area then communicate with the improved signal. When a cell phone or cellular device transmits, the signal is received by the inside antenna, amplied by the amplier and broadcast back to the cell tower through the outside antenna.

• Extends cell phone battery life.

Improved Cellular Coverage Area

Coverage area (distance from inside antenna that you can expect a usable cellular signal) can be approximated by:

1. Getting a Received Signal Strength Level (RSSL) reading using your cell phone from outside the building. You should also use the reading to determine the best location for the outside antenna. Use the pdf document "Standard Phone Test Modes " which has instructions for putting a cell phone into test mode and reading Received Signal strength. If your phone is not listed in this document or you need additional help getting a RSSL reading, contact Wilson Electronics tech support for help at 866-294-6996.
2. Estimating length and type of cable required to install inside and outside antennas
3. Selecting inside and outside antenna type.
4. Using Wilson's Online Coverage Calculator.
   1. Use 801105 50db for "Amplifier Gain" for 800MHz coverage calculations
   2. Use 801306 60db for "Amplifier Gain" for 1900MHz coverage calculations AND subtract 9db from your RSSL reading. (Example: RSSL reading on cell phone = -80db - 9db = -89db. Use "89" 1900MHz coverage calculations.)

NEED HELP?
If you need assistance in calculating the coverage area, call or email us after getting a Received Signal Strength Level reading and estimating cable lengths required to mount inside and outside antennas and we will be happy to help.

Repeater Antenna Requirements

The Wilson amplifier requires two antennas (not included). One antenna for outside and one for inside. The outside antenna must be 25 feet away from the inside antenna (that's physical separation between the inside and outside antenna not cable length).

These distances must be maintained or the signal will just oscillate between the two antennas and no improvement will be noticed. Also, not enough separation can damage the amplifier.

The Wilson Low Profile Antenna, or Wilson Dome Antenna is recommended for inside use and the Wilson Trucker Antenna or Wilson Yagi Antenna (best choice) is recommended for outside use. More About Wilson Antennas.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Wilson Amplifier / Repeater is used in locations where the signal from your service provider is strong outside a building but weak inside the building. It's used where the wireless signal is blocked by the building walls or roof. If your signal is very weak outside of your building, consider a power booster or antenna that connects directly to your phone (such as Wilson's DirectConnect) for better results.
