Inside this Package

How it Works

Your new Wilson Electronics signal booster has been carefully engineered to significantly 

improve the performance of your cell phone or cellular data card in mobile applications .  

Together with an outside antenna (sold separately), the signal booster’s state-of-the-art 

technology is designed to increase your signal up to 10 times, reduce disconnects and 

dropouts, and increase data communication rates needed for 3G technologies .
The outside antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to the 

signal booster .  The signal is then boosted and sent to the inside antenna .  Your cell phone 

or data card then communicates with the improved signal .  When the cell phone or data card 

transmits, the signal goes through the inside antenna, is boosted by the signal booster and 

broadcast back to the cell tower through the outside antenna .
Wilson Electronics manufactures a wide variety of antennas to help you customize your 

signal booster for your specific application .  Several are shown below .  See your dealer or
