It looks like the displays on the front of the 801265 have small dials on, which show the gain that the amplifier is currently supplying. It is unclear whether this is the automatic gain control seen in other Wilson kits, or whether there is also a user-defined gain level on top of that. The display will certainly make installation easier, as any reduced power output due to feedback can be seen immediately. This will allow installers to adjust the antenna location and direction, to get the most out of the DB PRO amp.

As they have with previous kits, Wilson Electronics may package a kit together with a standard set of antennas and cables. This will almost certainly be called the Wilson 841265 DB PRO kit and will probably have 2 exterior yagi antennas and a number of internal antennas. However, as the Wilson 801265 is so powerful we expect that most customers will prefer a kit customized to their exact situation. If you have an area over 10,000 sq ft to cover, then we recommend you contact us using this form.

The Wilson 801265 DB Pro Adjustable Gain cellular amplifier kit significantly improves the performance of your cell phone or cellular data card in small office/home office applications. Its advanced technology is designed to significantly improve voice and data signal quality and reduce disconnects and drop-outs. It features the same patented Wilson Smart-Tech technology found in all Wilson amplifiers. This technology automatically reduces gain, preventing oscillation and keeping your kit working.

The Name

The old kit was called the ‘zboost YX510′. The new kit will be called the ‘zBoost SOHO YX545‘. This follows a recent trend with Wi-Ex for giving their products more than a manufacturer part number. This started with the kit recently released for the small apartment buildings – the ‘zBoost Metro YX540‘. We imagine this will be come started practice for Wi-Ex going forward. The YX*** codes that they give their products are pretty meaningless, and it’s good to see a more easily identifiable naming structure.

The Kit

The new zBoost SOHO YX545 lists a system gain of 60dB, a good increase from the 53/54dB of the YX510. Gain is a logarithmic scale where an increase of 6dB doubles the coverage area. It’s interesting to note in the PDF overview that Wi-Ex still list the coverage area as up to 2,500 sq ft – identical to the YX510. This is probably Wi-Ex moving to a more realistic expectation of coverage area. With the YX510 2,500 sq ft was only possibly with a strong input signal from the external antenna. Hopefully with the SOHO YX545 a few bars will get the unit up to the max.
Another big change is the coaxial cable included in the standard kit. The YX510 had 35ft of RG6; the SOHO YX545 will have 50ft of RG-59. The extra cable length will help with installations, allowing more flexibility in the antenna placement. Running the cable discretely through the home will also be easier as RG-59 cable is thinner and more flexible than RG-6.
The standard omni-directional external antenna also looks different from the one included in the YX510. It’s unclear if the antenna is more powerful, or just has a different form.

Full Kit Contents

It has not yet been released, so details are scarce. However we know that the Wi-Ex YX 545 will have higher gain, lower loss cable and an easier installation method. It is a completely new design from the ground up, and we expect it to be the perfect repeater kit for homes and offices up to 3,000 sq ft.

So what about the 2nd or 3rd floors?
A splitter (859957) is connected right past the two 65dB amplifiers but before the internal Panel antenna. One side of the splitter continues to the Panel mounted on the 1st floor and the other port of the splitter is run up to the 2nd floor for additional coverage needed there.  At this time, however, the signal on the 1st floor is decreased, which means the coverage area on the 1st floor now has gone down.  What a dilemma !

A more efficient way to direct the internal signal is to use a “Tap” which is a type of ‘directional’ splitter. A Tap funnels a certain amount of signal through a specific port.  A common tap we use in multiple-floor installations is a 6dB/1.5dB Tap (#859906) which directs only 25% of the signal to the 6dB port and the remaining 75% signal through the 1.5dB port. This allows 75% of the remaining signal to be sent on to the 2nd & 3rd floors where it is split evenly using the standard 50/50 splitter (#859957).

At some point, after multiple splits/taps, the signal is degraded and will need to be boosted back up so it can continue down the cable. This is when a Pre-amp (811201 or 812201) should be installed to cover more square footage, for instance, on a 4th or 5th floor.  In this example, we would install the pre-amp directly in-line to the cable running up to the 4th & 5th floors. The pre-amp would need AC power, as it is an active amplifier, so plan this installation accordingly. The key to extending the inside coverage to a multi-story building as in this example, is to use Taps (#859906), Splitters (#859957)  and Pre-amps (#811201, 812201) as described

Hopefully this description is helpful;  please give us a call with your custom installation requirement!

Specifications:

As a marine vessel departs a port or dock area, the weak Cellular/PCS signal can drop off within a few hundred yards or a couple of miles. A Cellular Repeater kit uses an antenna mounted above the bridge or mast of your boat or ship. This antenna is connected through coax cable to an amplifier which receives and then boosts this signal to output it through an interior antenna within the cabin, bridge, galley or state rooms below. Your phone would be used as you normally would to make and receive calls within this ’signal area’ and there is no setup configuration needed.  The Marine Repeater kit will also boost signal to broadband USB modems used to get internet service.

Interior antennas can range from a cradle you place your phone into, to a panel antenna mounted on a wall that ’shoots’ cellular signal down a hall or into a broad area like a galley.  Our boosters work for all carriers (dual-band) but a specific version would be needed for Nextel phones (IDEN).

RepeaterStore has two very strong options for Marine or Boat Repeater Kits.

Slow access in a 3G service area can be remedied with a Cellular Booster or Repeater kit.  A Repeater may be all that is needed to resume 3G speed. Repeater Kits consist of three components:

1) an outside/external antenna

2) an amplifier/repeater

3) an internal antenna that is coupled to the Wireless USB card or MiFi       

Solution: Welcome the Wilson Signalboost ! http://www.repeaterstore.com/products/repeaterkits/wilson/signalboost.html

This amplifier kit was originally designed to operate in a vehicle, but with the correct antennas, will work perfectly attached to a USB Broadband modem card in a home environment.

The kit below provides a great solution for a quick home installation or where the external antenna is mounted on a glass window. Cost is affordable at $213.

811210 Signalboost amp with internal patch antenna $169
301103 External 12″ antenna $23
859940 Home Office Kit with AC adapter $21

A more permanent installation using the same SignalBoost amplifier is listed below. This kit uses a permanent external antenna mounted on the roof of a home or building. Cost $272.

811210 Signalboost amp with internal patch antenna $169
301202 External building antenna  $65
951125 20ft RG58 cable from external antenna to amp $21
859903 AC power supply $17

This last kit can be used in a vehicle, although a separate vehicle external antenna is required. Also, a standard Home Repeater Kit starting at $599 would  provide consistent voice calls as well as a stronger and faster USB Data connection. Please contact us to discuss these other options: 800.761.3041

The Wilson Signalboost DT, designed as a cost effective, dual-band desktop solution, has been upgraded with a higher performing directional antenna! This new antenna (#301208) is a small, sharp looking desktop antenna that offers better performance than the previous whip antenna.

This new directional antenna is now shipping on all Signalboost Desktop DT amplifier kits.

We’ve tested it and it works well with AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and TMobile as well as Alltel and US Cellular.

If there is a need for a Repeater more powerful than room size coverage, please see the Wilson 801245 SOHO Dual Band Kit under our ‘Small Building‘  tab or the  Wilson 801262 Dual Band DB Pro under our ‘Large Building‘ tab.
