How it Works
Wilson Electronics Signal Boosters are small, portable, bi-directional devices that deliver service
levels consistent with what would be expected in areas of high cell network coverage. They
amplify a weak or shadowed signal in mobile, marine and in-building applications.
When using a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster in conjunction with Wilson Electronics
antennas, the Outside Antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the
cable to the Signal Booster. The signal is then amplified and transmitted from the Inside
Antenna to the surrounding area. 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, amplified by the Signal Booster and transmitted
back to the cell tower through the Outside Antenna.
