What customers say
Customers highly value this Wilson antenna for its exceptional performance in boosting weak cellular signals. The core theme is its dramatic effectiveness, transforming unusable areas into reliably connected spaces. Reviewers consistently praise the robust, durable build quality designed for harsh outdoor use. While the wideband feature ensures broad compatibility, achieving peak performance requires precise aiming toward the nearest tower. This directional setup introduces a learning curve, sometimes frustrating those seeking a simple installation. However, users who take the time for meticulous setup are rewarded with unparalleled signal gain. The consensus is that for serious signal enhancement in 50 Ohm systems, this antenna delivers substantial, measurable value, justifying its premium cost through superior reliability.
Know before you buy
Yes, because this is a directional antenna, you must point it directly toward your nearest cell tower to achieve the best signal boost. It is designed to focus its reception in one direction rather than pulling in signals from all sides.
This antenna is designed for 50-ohm cellular booster systems. Before purchasing, ensure your existing amplifier or booster is also rated for 50 ohms to ensure compatibility and prevent signal loss.
Absolutely. It is built with rugged, UV-stable materials and a waterproof housing specifically designed to withstand harsh weather conditions year-round.
The antenna features an N-Female connector. You will need a 50-ohm coaxial cable with an N-Male connector on the end that attaches to the antenna.
Yes, it covers a wide frequency range from 617 to 2700 MHz, which includes many of the bands used for 4G LTE and 5G cellular services, including Band 71.
The package includes all the necessary hardware to mount the antenna onto a mast or pole. You will need to provide your own pole or mast if you do not already have one installed.
