Improving Your Cellular Signal

About Wilson Electronics

Wilson Electronics, Inc., a leader in the wireless communications industry for over 40 years, designs and 
manufactures amplifi ers, antennas and related components that signifi cantly improve cellular telephone signal 
reception and transmission in a variety of mobile, small building and large building applications.

With extensive experience in antenna and amplifi er research and design, the company’s engineering team 
uses a state-of-the-art testing laboratory, including an anechoic chamber and network analyzers, to fi ne-tune 
antenna designs and performance.  For its amplifi ers, Wilson uses a double electrically insulated RF enclosure 
and cell site simulators for compliance testing.

Wilson amplifi ers feature patent-pending Smart Technology™ that enables them to automatically adjust 
their power based on cell site requirements.  By detecting and preventing oscillation, signal overload and 
interference with other users, these Smart Technology™ amplifi ers improve network cell phone areas without 
compromising carrier systems.

All products are engineered and assembled in the company’s 55,000-square-foot headquarters in St. George, 
Utah.  Wilson has product dealers in all 50 states and in countries around the world.
