The Wilson Small Office / Home Office (SOHO) DualBand cellular amplifier repeater. The Wilson SOHO amplifier greatly improves signal strength inside a building when using your cell phone. It does this without physical connection to your phone allowing you to walk around freely during a call. It even allows up to 5 cell phones and/or Mobile Broadband cards to be used simultaneously. Works for most 800MHz and 1900MHz range networks including CDMA, TDMA, GSM within the US and Canada (NOTE: Will Not work for Sprint/Nextel iDen or Mike/Telus Networks.
The Wilson SOHO is a small, bi-directional amp that delivers service levels consistent with what would be expected in areas of high cell network coverage. They amplify a weak or shadowed cellular signal and repeat it in an in-building small office / home office (SOHO) applications. When using a this amplifier in conjunction with antennas, the outside antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to the amplifier. The signal is then amplified and broadcast from the inside antenna to the surrounding area. Cell phones and mobile broadband 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 amplifier and broadcast back to the cell tower through the outside antenna.
IMPORTANT NOTE Requires at least 25 feet of separation between Inside and Outside Antenna. Requires fairly good signal outside (2-3 bars min.) to get good coverage area inside. The better the outside signal, the more cellular coverage inside the building.
