Wilson Sleek 4G-A (815326)

Due to extremely high demand, Wilson Electronics has just announced their very first amplifier to support 4G LTE as well as the standard dual band frequencies, the 805165 tri-band amplifier for Verizon 4G LTE! Currently, there isn’t a single cellular booster system to boost both 4G LTE and 3G data/voice. However, with the 805165 that will soon be remedied. Operating on the standard dual band frequencies that’ll support 3G data and voice for the more popular carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint, the 805165 will also massively increase data speeds on Verizon’s blazing fast 4G LTE network. The 805165 features a stunning dB gain of 70, which translates to coverage of up to 10,000 sq ft of area with improved wireless signal.

How does it work?

The outside antenna is placed in the area of best signal, collects it and sends it through a cable to the 805165 amplifier. The amplifier then boosts the 4G LTE, 3G and voice signal, and then sends the boosted signal through a cable to the inside antenna. This provides an area of improved signal that can be used by phones and data cards simultaneously.

Compatibility

The Wilson 805165 will cover the following:

• Voice on all US networks except Nextel (i.e. AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-mobile, US Cellular, Cricket, MetroPCS etc)
• 3G on all US networks except T-mobile and Nextel
• 4G on Verizon

Technical Specifications

Sprint lights up new LTE markets: Sprint recently announced four new LTE markets, including Baltimore, Gainesville, Manhattan/Junction City, Kan., and Sedalia, Mo.

T-Mobile: We’ll prove shared 1755-1780 MHz band can be auctioned: T-Mobile USA expects that its test of spectrum sharing in the 1755-1780 MHz band will open up frequencies for pairing with the existing AWS-3 band for eventual auction long before all government entities are cleared from the spectrum, according to a company executive.

T-Mobile and MetroPCS unleash data: T-Mobile USA said it will begin offering unlimited data options without speed throttling to consumers beginning Sept 5^th, signaling a new pricing war among the nation’s “non-big-two” carriers that could put pressure on margins for those involved.

Verizon gets FCC approval for AWS spectrum deal: Verizon Wireless has gotten the final green light it needs to proceed with its acquisition of spectrum from seven different companies, including four cable companies.

New antenna could vastly increase wireless net capacity: Researchers from Rice University, and Bell Labs, have demonstrated an antenna technology that would enable mobile network operators to increase capacity without adding spectrum.

Q: What is the minimum separation between the inside and outside antennae for a Wilson booster?

A: Observing the minimum required separation distance between the two antennae is critical. If the antennae are placed too close to each other, oscillation will occur when each antenna picks up the others’ signal. If that happens, the Wilson booster will automatically shut down as a safeguard measure to protect the cell site.

As a rule, the higher a booster’s maximum gain value, the greater the minimum required separation distance. With adjustable gain boosters, dialing down the gain can reduce the required separation distance. However, it may also reduce the indoor coverage area.

As a reminder, remember to read the instructional manual that comes with each and every Wilson booster kit, as it has detailed instructions regarding the antenna separation needed. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Q: I see in the marketing materials of various Wilson boosters there are mentions of ‘gain’ or ‘passband gain’. What is gain and why is it important in a signal booster?

A: Technically, gain is simply the ratio of a booster’s or antenna’s output power relative to its input power. Gain is usually expressed in decibels, which are abbreviated as dB. Of course, the purpose of a signal booster and antenna is to product (or output) more power than comes in (input).

In a practical sense, a gain value represents the relative level of signal enhancement a booster and/or antenna is capable of providing. All factors being equal, a booster with a higher gain value will provide a stronger signal and/or a larger coverage area than one with a lower gain value.

Gain value is only one of the factors that needs to be considered when choosing a booster. If you are unsure whether a particular Wilson booster model meets your requirements, contact us via our live chat feature at the bottom right of the webpage, via e-mail, or call us!
