Looking for a few new ideas for your Christmas List?
Do you have a relative, friend or sibling who suffers from weak cell phone reception in their vehicle, at their home, dorm room or place of business ? Or do you ever have trouble connecting to the Internet with your broadband or MiFi device?

We have THE SOLUTION; a portable Repeater Kit from RepeaterStore!
Take a look at the following options;  prices range  from $129 for the Sleek mobile model to $349 for the YX545 Home Repeater Kit.
These kits boost both Cellular & PCS voice calls as well as data connections (broadband) for Internet service.
The less expensive kits (Wilson Sleek & Mobile Pro) can be used in a car or home and use 5VDC USB power.

The more powerful zBoost YX540 & YX545 use 110VAC and come with a power adapter that plugs into a wall socket. These units give a larger area of wireless coverage throughout the home or building.

As you enjoy these Holiday times whether traveling or celebrating at home, stay safe and connected with a cell phone amplifier system from Repeaterstore.com!

Here’s an update to the previous post on the upcoming Wi-Ex zBoost CI Active Antenna Amplifier. The Active Antenna Amplifier is going to be an inline amplifier, powered by a coax cable from an indoor AC/DC adapter. Its gain will range from 22dB at 800MHz to 30dB at 1900 MHz, powering the signal for up to 250′ of RG6 coaxial cable. The Active Antenna Amplifier is a self contained, inline unit, which is to be placed outside by the outdoor signal antenna and will be a perfect complement to the zBoost YX545 and the new zBoost CI YX745.

Benefits include:

• Maximum indoor cell signal performance in signal-challenged homes, buildings, and demanding applications.
• Contractors can provide their clients with improved level of service from a zBoost base unit with fewer or smaller external antennas and longer RG-6 cable runs – without degrading the cell signal.
• Amplifier enables the signal to be split to 4 zBoost base units and still provide a higher quality and level of cell phone signal.
• More distance covered and less degradation. Installers may now route the RG-6 where it is convenient (over 250 feet) rather than struggle to keep it under 75 feet.
• Self configures with and receives DC power from zBoost CI coverage unit(s).

We look forward to receiving our first shipments of the zBoost Active Antenna Amplifier within 90 days and look forward to expanding your installers capability to place better cellular signal in areas that were, previously, too remote to cover.

Technical Specifications

RepeaterStore.com has had many successful installations where the building size has exceeded 10,000 sq feet and  up to 40,000 square feet! By starting with the Wilson Dual-Band Ultimate II Repeater kit,  which uses two 65dB amplifiers (Cellular band #801165,  PCS band #801365),  this kit provides an internally amplified signal through one, ceiling mounted Panel antenna (#301135). The coverage given by this Panel antenna is usually limited to the floor it is mounted on because it is a directional antenna that shoots a signal down like a sprinkler.  When mounted on the 1st floor for example, the ceiling- mounted Panel antenna would not push signal back up to the 2nd & 3rd floors.

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!
