You can attach a Wilson DirectConnect power booster to many Cingular Novatel Merlin HSDPA/UMTS 2100 MHz and EDGE/GPRS 900 PC Cards as well as many Sprint and Verizon SierraWireless EV-DO Broadband AirCards.
Wilson Mobile Wireless Amplifier
The Wilson Wireless Mobile Amplifier features the benefit of an external antenna and 3 watt amplifier without a physical connection to your phone.
It even allows multiple phones to be used simultaneously.
The signal is received by the outside antenna from the cell site. It is then amplified and repeated to your cell phone from the inside antenna. When the phone transmits, the signal is received by the inside antenna, amplified, then repeated to the cell site via the outside antenna.
